Do you not long for the days when BIR chefs has sub-continental names and spoke with a pronounced sub-continental accent ?! This gentleman, knowledgeable as he may well be, just doesn't inspire me with the same confidence as he would if he were called (e.g.,) Achmal Choudhury and sounded as if he came from the sub-continent and not the mid North ...

Not really Phil, no.
Jay is a very common name in India and there could be a multitude of reasons
why he has the surname Sinclair.
My grandad for example was shipped across India to Goa with his sister
when they were little kids to be sold as servants and took on the name
of their owners.
Similarly, Jay's family name could've been altered to fit into western society.
The accent doesnt bother me either.
I think someone who was brought up in the UK would have more of an idea of the "BIR" taste
and an advantage over someone of a similar age who grew up on the sub continent.
