More for interest than anything else
Whilst watching my 'streaming box' (ooo erh matron) in the kitchen the other night, I get the local news update from London instead of north eaast and there was a report about food hygine inspections by Which magazine and Lewisham was ranked 396th out of 398 worst hygenic food businesses in the country. Heres a map from Which magazine

The report also stated that you can go on the Food Standards Agency site and look at results for all of Britain.
A bit further investigation by me found a smart phone app called Scores on the Doors
http://www.scoresonthedoors.org.uk/ (http://www.scoresonthedoors.org.uk/)
which tells you the ratings around where you are. It certainly makes interesting reading.
I'll save my opinions for later. :)
NB. Just looked more closely at the map and Edinburgh (which was my second home for most of my school life) is worse than Lewisham. :-\
Enfield is the worst

Downloaded the App. Very useful. Got to find a new Brekky Cafe !

Excellent find, Gav! Some worrying results around my neck of the woods though! :(

I remember this "scores on the doors" thing was on the forum a few years back. Someone (Bobby Bhuna I think) pointed out that the better the bir, the poorer the score!
It will be interesting to see if anything has changed!

Just goes to show that nothings new on here ;D. Food hygines always a touchy subject in my opinion. I can remember in days gone by when people who would complain about the slightest thing in this country would then go to Spain and eat in places that smelt like a sewer with a honking toilet next to the food area but the fact you could feed your family for

Note that out of Scotland (which curiously seems to be consistently in the lowest 40% throughout???) there seems to be a distinct correlation between poor food hygeine and uban development.
Check.

No U-bahns in Coxheath, but the Coxheath Tandoori didn't do too well ...

I agree it's not precise. But I wonder how much data they actually had or to what criteeria. I mean, did they REALLY go to SOUTH UIST or the Shetlands...?! classic :D

I could be wrong, but my reading of this is that the map reflects the number of Local Authority inspections carried out, not the findings thereof.
