A curry house in London made an extraordinary long-distance delivery after football fans ordered a takeaway from Amsterdam of all places. The order came from Gary Chambers, a regular at the Asia restaurant, staying at a hotel in Amsterdam while watching the World Cup. In a fax to the restaurant, Mr Chambers, who dines there regularly wrote: "We have just returned from the football match and we are staying on a floating hotel as all the five-star hotels in Germany are booked. We are going to be here another ten days and frankly cannot get a good standard of curry out here anywhere."
So, the restaurant agreed to fly a meal for eight people out to Amsterdam at a cost of £463.60. However, Mr Chambers and his friends had to pay an additional £350 delivery charge for the flight and taxi to the airport.
The owners originally thought the request was nothing more than a wind-up, but soon discovered that the patron was quite serious and was happy, in the end, to oblige.
Now that's loyalty!
