[@andyshelton5193]

in all fairness, most of the "Indian" food we eat here isn't actually eaten in India, it's simply Indian inspired food designed to appeal to British individuals.

[@HMJ66]

@@andyshelton5193 I wouldn't even call it Indian inspired any more to be fair, it's its own thing entirely these days. It's kind of like American vs Italian pizza. Both are amazing, but if you go to Italy expecting massive deep dish pizzas with shit loads of random toppings you're going to be disappointed.

NO! DO NOT TIP! Tipping is a terrible terrible practice born of tax-dodging, racist, tycoons, and if it is accepted, will mean employers can get away with underpaying deserving staff. You tip if you're a large group or particularly difficult for some reason, causing extra work.

[@thesmithersy]

It's a revolting american concept that should have no place in the UK. I never tip.

[@johnnyboy3949]

10-15 percent tip?! Pfft. Up north we usually tip a couple of quid no matter what it costs. £10 meal, 2 quid tip? £100 meal, 2 quid tip. And it has to be 2 £1 coins as if you use 1 £2 coin it looks less.
