Rajdhani Scandal

When is a Booking not a Booking?

Would all curry lovers please note that if you are considering booking a table at Rajdhani in the city centre you may well find as we did that you are wasting your time.  After arriving at the allotted time and then waiting for 30 minutes there was still blatantly no sign of any table being ready in the near future.  On discussing this with the person we believed to be the manager, we learned "a reservation does not mean we will have a table for you".  There was a complete lack of customer care and interest in our request to be seated.  A simple apology and promise to speed things up would have probably placated us but clearly the Rajdhani is not interested in customer care.  We paid our drinks bill and left.

I hope the Rajdhani get to read this.  All MKCC members were outraged over this behaviour and vowed never to return to the Rajdhani again. 

You have been warned!

On a more positive note a quick call to the Rose of India at Bletchely secured us a table straight away.  Table sorted, popodoms and beers thrust into our hands as soon as we arrived.  

We've had widely varying experiences in the last 2 years but we've never walked out before. Is it too much to expect honesty and at least some pretence that you are concerned what your customers think?

Government announces Mutton enquiry

By Andrew Chilligan

Following repeated demands in the House, and down the pub, the government has today appointed Lord Mutton to carry out a full investigation into the ‘tables of mass deception’ allegedly hidden in the Rajdhani.

The announcement of the enquiry follows closely on from ‘Operation Desert Korma’ when the Milton Keynes Curry Club attempted to dine in the restaurant last Friday.  President Wallond lead a farting-force of unfit, middle-aged, frankly quite passed-it members into the restaurant at precisely 8.30pm for a curry – sadly the campaign did not go to plan.  After over 30 minutes club members abandoned the mission in disgust at their treatment and were helicoptered to the fall-back assembly point at the Rose.

The enquiry will focus upon a number of key issues,

• When is a booking not a booking?
• Should the club have sought support from a United Nations resolution prior to beginning the incursion?
• Who authorised the assembly of the strike force in Wetherspoons?
• Why was Wetherspoons chosen when it required the curry-commandos to ‘yomp’ for over a mile to find the target?
• What about the role of the intelligence services (M.I.Ngs)?
• Who was agent Tracey and how did she manage to pass secret cellphone messages to M.I Ngs, even at the height of the conflict?
• Where was the allied secret weapon, Agent Doug?  Had he been sexed up?
• Why wasn’t the C-Rockett deployed on time?
• If the media have made up their minds already, what’s the point of seeking evidence, clarifying the facts and drawing conclusions during an enquiry?
• When will the enquiry into this enquiry begin?
• Why is the Rajdhani still listed in the phone book under ‘restaurants’ if doesn’t appear to serve food?

Lord Mutton has yet to announce the timescale for completing his report as he was last seen nibbling forlornly on Bombay Mix and sipping a flat lager in the waiting area of the Rajdhani, eight months after commencing his investigation.
