Turn up at lunch time, and visitors to ours are offered a full vegetarian Indian meal. :-D
The check-out lady said that, at other times, visitors are treated to a cup of tea and a biscuit.

Before the current Gudwar was built, one of our daughters went to the original with a school friend and her mother. She was given a handful of sweets. Afterall, she was only about 12.

She's was fully involved with the friend's wedding which was quite an eye opener for a non-Sikh.

OK then Maggie, here is the story. I was alone in the woods, I shot a deer from my high seat, about 100yards out in the field, and after I had gutted it, was dragging it to the edge of the field when I had this terrific pain in my chest, and came over all cold and clammy and faint. I was in a spot where a couple of yards in any direction I may not have had reception on my mobile, but on this occasion was lucky. I phoned my wife, who luckily was in, who found the gamekeeper's number in our book, and luckily he also was in. He knew where I would be, and two of his neighbours, who are both paramedics, were also in. They were able to direct the ambulance around the edge of ploughed fields to where I was. The paramedics had already inserted a canula, and given me a soluble aspirin before the ambulance got to me. When they got me to hospital I caused quite a stir as I had quite a lot of blood on my hands and trousers from the deer. So now you know.

You were indeed lucky, bob!!
It was fortunate you were in an area where there was a signal, and people were in :-D

Well - its not thunder so it must be fireworks. They definately aren't back-garden ones. Perhaps the local Sikh community don't want to waste their purchases???
