Hello and welcome to Inside Out. On the programme tonight, I join the | :00:05. | :00:07. | |
traffic police looking for uninsured drivers as we investigate | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
why your postcode could be pushing up premiums and ask how you can get | :00:11. | :00:21. | |
:00:21. | :00:35. | ||
You should have just paid the insurance, then you wouldn't be | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
sitting here now. We meet the Wolverhampton man who has made a | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
business out of our changing tastes in food. We're back at Sam's old | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
primary school. He stood out when he was here. I definitely realised | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
I was a minority when everyone started throwing smowballs and I | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
was the target so I thought I was different. We join the team trying | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
to find some answers about long lost war heroes. I'm really pleased | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
that they found my father because it was an unanswered question in my | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
mum's life and mine. I was shocked when I first saw they had found his | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
body, it was a complete shock. Then I was ecstatic about it, it makes | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
it really real now. It has suddenly brought World War One into your | :01:08. | :01:17. | |
front room. I'm Mary Rhodes and this is Inside | :01:17. | :01:27. | |
:01:27. | :01:36. | ||
Out for the Midlands. Are you getting a good deal on your | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
car insurance? Think you could do better? How about Inside Out | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
insurance? Has your son just passed his test and is desperate to get on | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
the road? Yes. Looking for an insurance quote for a small car? | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
Absolutely. How does �3500 sound? Amazing! Yes, that's right. Just | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
�3500 to get Jordan on the road. Jordan's case is hardly a great | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
advert for car insurance. When the 18 year-old from Redditch searched | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
for a quote, his family got a shock. The minimum was �3500 up to a | :02:17. | :02:27. | |
:02:27. | :02:28. | ||
maximum �17,000 a year. What kind of car was it? A Vauxhall Corsa. | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
Just a 1 litre engine. What was your reaction? I was absolutely | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
devastated, I couldn't believe it. So why are insurers charging us so | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
much? I'll be confronting some of those who are to blame. You should | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
have just paid the insurance and then you wouldn't be sitting here | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
now. And I'll be finding out how we could all save some money. Through | :02:52. | :03:01. | |
:03:02. | :03:04. | ||
using a black box, I'm going to save at least �2000 to �3000 a year. | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
The cost of car insurance has rocketed. In just six years, the | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
average premium has doubled. But it has gone up much more in some areas | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
than others. We've found that prices do differ dramatically | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
across the West Midlands. On the internet we compared hundreds of | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
quotes, only changing the driver's address. The results were | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
surprising. We've found that drivers in parts of Birmingham pay | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
more than four times as much as those in other parts of the region. | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
For example, a �2100 quote in Bordesley Green costs just �800 in | :03:36. | :03:45. | |
Coventry, �600 in Stoke and less than �500 in Cheltenham. So what's | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
going on? Why is car insurance so much more expensive in some areas | :03:50. | :03:58. | |
than others? One reason is compensation. Drivers are | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
increasingly making large claims for whiplash. Shockingly, some are | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
even crashing on purpose. Birmingham is the car insurance | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
fraud capital of Britain with gangs deliberately making other driver's | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
crash into them to make a claim. The owner of this Jaguar was from | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
Smethwick. Claims like this cost the industry millions and at the | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
moment, many insurers are even making a loss. Insurance companies | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
don't make any money on motor insurance. There might be a few out | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
there making a little bit of money but the general rule is, insurance | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
companies will take a pound in premium and will pay out more than | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
a pound in claims. It's going into the pockets of claims management | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
companies, into the pockets of people exaggerating personal injury. | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
It's very difficult to medically prove that people have not had | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
whiplash. There's another reason why insurers are nervous about | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
Birmingham. It's home to more uninsured drivers than anywhere | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
else in Britain. It is PCT Dave Gaunt's job from the Central | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
Motorway Police Group to hunt them down. I joined him on patrol to see | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
what he's up against. After a few false alarms, he pulls over a Ford | :05:21. | :05:30. | |
Mondeo. We have a big problem in Birmingham with a lot of uninsured | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
vehicles and it does take up a good proportion of our time. It's an | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
expensive commodity but you know you have to have it. If you cannot | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
afford to insure your car, you shouldn't be driving the car. Sell | :05:42. | :05:52. | |
:05:52. | :05:53. | ||
it or catch the bus. Uninsured drivers are five times more likely | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
to have a crash and when they do, all our premiums go up. When I | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
confront this driver, he tells me he didn't know his policy had | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
expired. Did you know that there was no insurance on this vehicle? | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
No, if I'd known that, I wouldn't have driven it. So you're stuck | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
here because your son didn't pay the car insurance? You should have | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
just paid the insurance and you wouldn't be sitting here now. The | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
driver could now face a fine of up to �5000. Motorists like him are | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
helping to push up premiums across Birmingham. We've found that the | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
cost of car insurance doesn't just differ from city to city but even | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
from house to house. Hayley lives in Shropshire and when she moved | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
from here, just along Highley High Street, to here, her insurance | :06:41. | :06:50. | |
quote more than doubled. He was putting a postcode into his | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
computer and it was coming up that my new postcode was a much higher | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
risk area than my old property. What was your reaction to that? | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
don't think I said anything, I thought, it's across the street, | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
it's a stone's throw away. But if there's been a spate of accidents | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
in your new postcode area, it can make a big difference to your quote. | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
Are there any easy ways to bring down your premium? Well, yes. | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
Here's an expert. Gareth is from the price comparison site, | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
confused.com. He's come to see if he can get Jordan a cheaper quote. | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
Here's his advice. First up, choose the right car. These are the | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
cheapest to insure. At number three, it's the Peugeot | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
107. At number two, the Ford KA. | :07:46. | :07:56. | |
Cheapest of all, the new Ford KA2. Then there's the driver. Start your | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
steering, nice and steady. Learners can find getting insurance almost | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
as tricky as their manoeuvres. That was certainly the case for Brummie | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
Stephen Biles. Look where you're going. And make sure you control | :08:12. | :08:22. | |
the car, not the other way round. Stephen's cheapest quote was a | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
staggering �5000. He cannot change his age but by having a black box | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
fitted deep inside his car, he has cut his premium in half. With the | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
black box, it tracks your GPS movement in your car so when you | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
turn your ignition on, the black box activates. If you drive, it | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
will register to the company and then they will charge you �100 each | :08:44. | :08:52. | |
night you drive after 11pm. Through using a black box, I'm going to | :08:52. | :09:02. | |
:09:02. | :09:04. | ||
save at least �2000 to �3000 a year. Adding a second driver can also | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
save you money. When Gareth tells Jordan to add his mother to the | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
policy, his quote reduces dramatically. That has reduced your | :09:13. | :09:21. | |
insurance from just over �3500 to �2882. Finally, there's the type of | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
cover. Believe it or not, fully comp can actually be cheaper than | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
third party. Those people that traditionally take out fully | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
comprehensive policies, they tend to look after their car better and | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
that's one of the simple reasons why it can be cheaper than third | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
party only where they are not maintained perhaps as regularly as | :09:39. | :09:48. | |
people don't look after their cars perhaps as well. So, what is the | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
verdict? By reducing his mileage, increasing his excess and crucially | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
by adding his mum as a second driver, Jordan brought his quote | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
down by over �1000. But for now, he's sticking to the cheapest | :10:01. | :10:11. | |
:10:11. | :10:12. | ||
option of all. I'd love to hear about your | :10:12. | :10:22. | |
:10:22. | :10:23. | ||
experiences with insurance, good or bad. Drop me an e-mail. | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
Imagine getting a call to tell you the body of one of your distant | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
relatives has just been found. Someone killed 100 years ago | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
perhaps. Making that call is the job of a special unit from the | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
Ministry of Defence, tasked with identifying military remains | :10:38. | :10:47. | |
:10:48. | :10:49. | ||
whenever and wherever they are found. | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
Sue in London is trying to find out about some men who died almost 100 | :10:52. | :11:00. | |
years ago in northern France. come here to see the archivist at | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
the Artillery Company to discuss the remains of four soldiers that | :11:03. | :11:12. | |
were found in August 2009. These soldiers were killed in the First | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
World War. Like many casualties, they were buried by their comrades | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
near the battlefield where they died. Identifying them will not be | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
easy. The identity discs were blown off the soldiers because they were | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
not steel, as they are today, so it is very difficult but we do | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
establish and have established in the past, personal identification | :11:30. | :11:40. | |
:11:40. | :11:40. | ||
of soldiers and we're very hopeful this will happen in this instance. | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
It is a typical case for Sue who works for the MoD in | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
Gloucestershire. When the remains of servicemen from the two world | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
wars are discovered, it is her job to identify them, find relatives | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
and arrange a military burial. Today she is meeting regimental | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
archivist Justine Taylor. We have kind volunteer in Antwerp who has | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
compiled a list of Second Battalion members who died in the First World | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
War. Justine has been very helpful and she has provided the war diary, | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
lots of information, lots of very informative books. We know the | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
heights of the four soldiers that have been found. I am excited that | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
I have got to the stage where we may be able to identify somebody. | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
Sue is excited but she knows these things take time. Remains of some | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
of the many thousands of war heroes still listed as missing with no | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
known grave are found each year around the world. Some can be | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
easier to identify than others. The wreckage of a British bomber has | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
been found in Italy and thanks to detailed flight records, Sue knows | :12:49. | :12:59. | |
:12:59. | :13:02. | ||
exactly who was on board. It means another trip to London. This time | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
for a radio appeal. I know there's a case you working on at the moment, | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
tell us about that. About four months ago, a Boston aircraft, BZ | :13:11. | :13:18. | |
590, was found in Italy. The Boston was on a reconnaissance mission | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
when it was shot down in 1945, just weeks before the end of the war in | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
Europe. The crew, including David Rix and Alexander Bostock, all died. | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
Their relatives have come forward. But Sue needs to find one other | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
family. The one we need to find now is a Flight Sergeant David Millard | :13:40. | :13:50. | |
:13:50. | :13:54. | ||
Perkins' family. That is why you're Sue will have to wait to see if | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
anyone gets in touch but when families do, they usually want to | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
know much more. She is in Wiltshire meeting relatives of a soldier | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
whose remains have been found in the Netherlands. And they have | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
turned out in their numbers. For them, this is all about finding out | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
what really happened to a man who was lost but not forgotten. Right, | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
then. Thank you very much for coming today, I know you have come | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
a long way, I do appreciate it. Because he was my Gran's brother, | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
she talked about him all the time, I was really little, she died when | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
I was about 10, but that is how I remember him, being really | :14:29. | :14:36. | |
important in her life, really. You always felt like he was in... Like | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
I knew him. I still call him Uncle Lewis, even though he is my great | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
uncle Lewis. Lewis Curtis from Cornwall was a member of the | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
Wiltshire Regiment, he died in October 1944. His battalion had | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
been advancing through Holland, but met fierce resistance from the | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
Germans. Today, his family are learning about where he was | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
discovered and plans for his burial. So, we are effectively looking at | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
the first available opportunity would be July onwards. It's a lot | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
to take in and if you just slowly absorb it, that's lovely. | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
certainly is a lot to take in but for everyone it has been a poignant | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
day. This whole thing has been very emotional for all of us. Today has | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
brought all of us together as a family, you know. We were saying, | :15:27. | :15:36. | |
we very rarely get together these days. I feel very honoured to have | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
met such a marvellous family and to be part of such an exciting | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
adventure that we are going to go on and that in the end we can have | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
closure for this family. One family close to getting that final closure. | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
But what about Sue's other cases? It's now several weeks since her | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
meeting with the regimental archivist in London about those | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
First World War soldiers. So, is there any news? Yes. We have done | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
some research with the archivist and two of them have now been | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
identified. Both were identified by personal artefacts. Two soldiers | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
identified, and now begins the task of tracking down the families and | :16:17. | :16:24. | |
that's not easy as Sue is finding out in the Boston bomber case. | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
Unfortunately, that radio appeal hasn't had the impact she'd hoped. | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
Regrettably, there were no callers regarding the identification of the | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
family for Perkins. However, we've now gone to the Commonwealth War | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
Graves, they've put it on their website and we are now trying to | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
trace him through other means. Sue does manage to complete a case, | :16:44. | :16:53. | |
it often ends a mystery that's haunted family for years. When | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
Edward Hartley was killed, his loved ones knew he'd died, but very | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
little else. I think that Mother must always wonder what happened to | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
Edward, he will have perhaps been the love of her life, so she must | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
have wondered all the rest of her life, she lived to be 86, what had | :17:08. | :17:16. | |
Lance Sergeant Hartley died at Arnhem in Holland during Operation | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
Market Garden, the unsuccessful attempt by the Allies to force | :17:18. | :17:27. | |
their way to Germany in 1944. His remains were identified seven years | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
ago, Sue traced his daughter and she was guest of honour at a | :17:30. | :17:40. | |
:17:40. | :17:46. | ||
It was really emotional. The kind of occasion where all the hairs | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
stand up on the back of your neck and you want to cry, really, as | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
well. It was really very, very special. Something, probably one of | :17:54. | :18:03. | |
the best days of my life. It was one of the best days of my life. | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
Sue's work can end up meaning so much to the families these men left | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
behind. She's back on the road again, this time in Hampshire. The | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
relatives of one of the First World War soldiers has been in touch. | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
family actually found me through the Great War Forum. They were | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
looking at the website and came across that we were trying to trace | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
the relatives of Captain Prichard and they contacted me because I | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
have a lot to do with the Great War Forum and it was very fortuitous | :18:28. | :18:38. | |
:18:38. | :18:49. | ||
Hello, nice to meet you. Sue, come in. Londoner, John Prichard died in | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
May 1917, defending a position near the village of Bullecourt in | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
northern France. His company was almost completely wiped out in the | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
attack. 95 years on, his family were amazed to discover his remains | :19:03. | :19:11. | |
had been found. I was shocked, when I first saw that they found his | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
body I was in complete shock. And then I was ecstatic and very happy | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
about that, I thought, I cannot wait to tell the rest of the family. | :19:19. | :19:26. | |
And as my daughter says, it makes it really real now. It has suddenly | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
brought World War One right into your front room because you have a | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
personal connection with it. And we feel incredibly honoured, as a | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
family, that we will be the people that finally lay this captain to | :19:36. | :19:45. | |
Another case drawing to a close and there's good news on the Boston | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
bomber crewman too. David Perkins' family has been in touch. Sue also | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
hopes to start arranging his burial soon. It's very frustrating at | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
times because the work has to be very thoroughly investigated. There | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
is only a team of two, my colleague and I, but we both find it very | :20:03. | :20:13. | |

rewarding and it is an honour and a Now, for our final story tonight, | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
we take a look at how our tastes in food have changed from this... To | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
this. And how it made a fortune for one man from right here in | :20:29. | :20:37. | |
We love each others' food, we love to try new things, different food | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
from different cultures. We're supplying just under 1,000 oriental | :20:42. | :20:51. | |
restaurants and takeaways within a 50 or 60 mile radius of Nottingham. | :20:52. | :21:01. | |
:21:02. | :21:06. | ||
Nationally, we supply all of the oriental major supermarkets. It is | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
Sam's business and it has made him a wealthy man. People's changing | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
tastes are likely to increase that wealth. Let's face it, it's great | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
food, it is not bland like some English foods that we've got and | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
there's a lot of flavour, a lot of taste and a lot of fusion foods | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
going on where you are blending it with English food and Chinese food | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
and Indian food with Chinese food, etc, etc. Integration of food is | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
something accepted without much of a fuss. Sam's experience is that | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
unfortunately it is different when it comes to people. ARCHIVE | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
FOOTAGE: When you get a black person come to live, like coloured | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
people, coming to live next door to you, it is then that the resentment | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
starts. Plus the fact that these immigrants that come into this | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
country, they do not live the same way that we do. If you take an | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
Indian or something, they are still doing their cooking, which we think | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
is not up to our par. So, obviously they're going to start complaining | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
about the way they cook, the smell and everything. I think this is | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
when the hatred turns because they will not accept the British way of | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
living. The late 1960s, Enoch Powell had just made his Rivers Of | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
Blood speech, filled with foreboding about Commonwealth | :22:12. | :22:19. | |
immigration. That is when Sam arrived in Wolverhampton. At times, | :22:19. | :22:29. | |
:22:29. | :22:36. | ||
it was not a nice place to be. brings back a lot of memories | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
because I have not been here for probably about 40 years. We are | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
back at Sam's old primary school, he stood out when he was here. | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
definitely realised I was a minority when everybody started | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
rolling up snowballs and I was going to be the target. So, I | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
thought I was different. Today, there are children here from many | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
backgrounds. There is so much education about the world and I | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
remember coming here as a child I really did not know anything about | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
the world. And it is so interesting how children at a young age learn | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
about the world and I think that will help them integrate in the | :23:09. | :23:19. | |
Sam stood out when he went to work. The steelworks was the place where | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
he was expected to go. He went but did the unexpected. An engineer | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
training rather than a labourer. An Asian taking that path did not go | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
down well. They wanted to either get rid of you, they formed gangs | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
within the business here and thought, right, let's get him | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
sacked or whatever. It was a deliberate ploy to get shot of you | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
somehow. I was streetwise well enough to know and I knew how to | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
look after myself as well. I know what the story is, if you want to | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
have a fight we are going to have it outside of the premises, not in | :23:54. | :24:04. | |
the premises because obviously you I owe this place a lot, because it | :24:04. | :24:14. | |
:24:14. | :24:16. | ||
taught me a hell of a lot. It made It was people like my uncle and my | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
dad who laid the foundation and gave us the opportunities to | :24:19. | :24:26. | |
achieve what we do today. If it was not for the first generation, we | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
could not have done what we do today. Sam got away from the | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
steelworks to Nottingham and the food industry. Beijingal was | :24:36. | :24:46. | |
:24:46. | :24:52. | ||
produced because I felt there was a gap in the market. -- Beijing Gold. | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
He is his own boss, he has also done the unexpected again. His | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
daughters work for him, not part of his cultural tradition. | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
Traditionally, within the Indian male dominated community, they | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
always see as ladies should be at home making food for them when they | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
get home. Because of discrimination, I think I have got this thing in me | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
that I have got to do something to change that if I can. If I can do | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
that, I think I have achieved something with my life. He is our | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
biggest critic, we have seen him work over the years and his work | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
ethic is second to none. I do not think you will ever find three | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
Indian sisters who have managed to stay in the same city and work in a | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
family business with their father. The food industry he is involved in | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
is massive. He imports food and drink from around the world and | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
supplies takeaways and restaurants. Tastes are changing, as is how we | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
eat our food, especially when times are hard. | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
During these times, people like good value for money. For that, | :25:46. | :25:55. | |
what we do is we give them a proper la carte meal at the buffet prices. | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
Also doing well in a recession are the takeaways. In the right place | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
they can do good business. Times are changing now, I think people | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
want to stay at home and people's lifestyles are a lot busier. It's | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
good to offer that to people. Even now with our takeaway we'll have | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
groups of parties call up for meals because they are together as a | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
group and they want restaurant- style food but in their own | :26:16. | :26:24. | |
surroundings. The problem for takeaways is sometimes not everyone | :26:24. | :26:31. | |
wants one near their home. There is nothing worse on a Friday afternoon | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
or a Friday evening to walk out into your garden to enjoy it and | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
have the whiff of the horrible mixture of concoctions of fast food. | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
In Derby, the city council is one of the first in the country to turn | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
down planning permission for another fast food outlet. | :26:45. | :26:52. | |
In Chaddesden hey reckon they have There is one there, one there, one | :26:52. | :26:59. | |
further up in the bungalow as well. There are A too many, and B we've | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
no quality shops. The chip shop is still there, there was always a | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
chip shop there. But the desire to try something different for many | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
people remains. Integrated palates here in Nottingham, 300 can pack in | :27:10. | :27:16. | |
and eat global foods. All the countries are into this global | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
village, people travel around, there are a lot of people moving in | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
and out of different countries. And when people move into different | :27:23. | :27:29. | |
countries, they take their food and cuisine as well. What I also see is | :27:29. | :27:37. | |
the people in the country here are a little more adventurous. | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
Nottingham, for example, the city I live in, we have got about eight | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
buffet restaurants. Only last week, our first 1,000 seater restaurant | :27:43. | :27:49. | |
has opened up in Bristol. Each immigrant population has brought | :27:49. | :27:55. | |
with it an influx of food. This is Hyson Green in Nottingham, there is | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
now a big Kurdish presence, with the people comes another kind of | :27:58. | :28:07. | |
food. Sheep's head is today's special. | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
So, one day, many of us may be eating Kurdish and, who knows, | :28:10. | :28:20. | |
:28:20. | :28:22. |
