The staff are renowned for their rudeness and briskness. The restaurant
must be in all the tourist books as it is hoaching with tourists in the
season. But this adds to the fun and the queues. You either hate the
place or love it.
I love it because it is the type of Chinese food I like and often the
service is quick. So I can nip in for a meal and be out in about half an
hour, if I am on my own. Look at the Wiki entry.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wong_Kei
The New World in Gerrard Place is maybe a bit more up market. If you
like dim sum they do “yum cha” until 6 pm. With the dim sum being served
from trolleys and the greeters wearing cheongsam. The food is good and
the price for central London is reasonable.

No need, it's pretty well documented - democrats hold (and have for
years) positions as the mayor for SLC and for the county, lots of local
"green" initiatives (including vehicles that run on alternative fuels for
the city), and so on. :-)

My read of what you wrote was that tourists tend not to go there because
of the service (or rather, they get thrown out if they make a stink that
makes them sound like tourists).

The last two times have been off-season, and we really enjoyed it. But
if we're relocating, we also need to spend a little time there during the
season as well. :)

But of course; though I don't know if our friends we went with count as
natives to Glasgow; certainly to the UK, but not Glasgow. :-)

Yeah. I can't remember which show it was now, but on a cooking show
someone had to create a new Indian-style dish, and he wasn't sure what
kind of meat to use; he remembered something about beef, but didn't know
about pork, so he selected that. Even still, I think he came out ahead.

It sure is - that's definitely the way to buy it. It keeps very well as
long as it's a cool, dry place.

The number of overseas tourists last year was 14.1 million and the total
overnight-stay visitors was 27 million. Not all of them visited the Wong
Kei (Mr Wong’s shop) ;-)
I imagine a lot don’t go more than once. Although, I recommended it to a
Chinese Australian who came on holiday and he ate there 10 times in a
week. The price might have had something to do with it. ;-)

Surely not BP, no? If so, you might be buying the first round. ;-)
But in terms of 'liberal' point of view, green energy is a pretty good
sign, don't you think?

Well, "hot" to you is different than "hot" to me. It's 82F here right
now, and we're supposed to hit 90F by mid-week.
I guess spring is over. <sigh>

Well, it tends to be thought of as such for religious reasons, so it
either becomes "throw away my religion and religious traditions" or eat
it. Generally; I know a guy who is ostensibly Jewish who likes the
occasional bacon sandwich (made with the real thing, not turkey bacon).

It's a common tactic in his interviews (he is a satirical commentator on
current events, and the last 7 minutes of the show includes an interview
where he usually tries to wind up the guest).

75 F is hot for most of us Brits but since I've worked in the subtropics
anything over 90 F is too hot for my comfort. I did find 104 F was
tolerable if I moved slowly and kept out of the sun. And I onced worked
for half an hour at a time at 210 F when I was offshore.

Hmmm, might have to reconsider that first round, then. ;-)

I was watching something this weekend that talked about the number of
safety incidents for various oil companies over the past 3-4 years. Most
of them were in the < 10 category. BP? More than *700*.
Ouch.

Interesting, I didn't know that. I thought it was "just" me (not as in

75 F is very comfortable for me. In fact, that's what it is outside here
right now. Warmer than that depends on the humidity and available
drinking water. I did some work in Arizona in 106 F (server room setup
but the building wasn't finished yet and the AC wasn't installed, much
less the windows), and it was OK, but took a lot of drink with me
(Gatorade, as I recall).
But I've seen > 100 F in 80%+ humidity and that's just miserable.

I'm glad it's called BP instead if British Petroleum, now.

Yes you need to drink. Which raises another gripe of mine. People
carrying water bottles in temperate climates as if they are in the tropics.

One job I had (on BP's Thistle) was to keep an eye on the production
instrumentation, when the telemetry had broken. It was about 40 C (104
F) and the humidity was very high. We must have drunk a gallon of water
an hour.
