The Man From Uncle


My Dad, Don, had a business supplying (amongst others) the Bengali community in Swansea with poultry. I dont know if you ever noticed, but the majority of curries sold are of the chicken variety. Over the years, he became affectionately known as "Uncle" which is a mark of respect in their community. He was also known as Murgh Wallah - Chicken Seller, which I found quite cute. I would often order a take-away over the phone & give my name as Murgh Wallah. Unfortunately most of the "old guard" have now gone to Dar al-Salam, so I can do this less & less.

He passed away on this day 4 years ago. I miss him every day.
