So “dark” men in fez’s are serving up curry and there’s a Thai air hostess? What country is it meant to be?

It DOES sound like the writer confused their foreign stereotypes, doesn’t it? But frankly, that’s the least of their problems.

Egyptian-Thai-Indian fusion restaurants were all the rage in 1960.
Hahahaha! The time when drip-dry, 100% nylon shirts were a premium product. Supermarket carrier bags were made of paper then, it was only posh shops which had plastic bags – now it’s the opposite.

The irony is, I bet the writer thought they were being very worldy….

It was all part of the Empire, what what. Egypt, Malaya and that.
Bloody hell.

It reads like a story from a Porn mag.
“The stewardess drew closer to me , and I could feel something stirring inside me, something … erotic”

And you’ll feel better, and you must order curry, that is what I live by.
