Title: Fake BIR curry awards
Post by: Bobby Bhuna on November 28, 2007, 06:12 PM

Does anyone else know what I'm talking about? You saunter into a take away only to be delighted by the fact that it seems to be outstanding, as the place is teaming with awards. Then upon trying their curry, you discover that it's actually naff.

I have to conclude that there are an sizeable number of crap BIRs and take aways with fake/homemade awards. I mean who judges these things!!!

Yes, I've smiled at these 'awards' on many occasions. I guess it's a bit like ordering a BSc or some other graduate degree by mail order. You simply hand over some cash and get the award with a fancy looking certificate to hang on the wall. I doubt if these awards are worth the paper they are written on.
