I presumed he meant the basement of the building where he works

Originally...but now you have me questioning everything that I previously believed.

There is one in the basement of my building, has both "Karma Masala Curried Chicken" and "Traditional Shepherd's Pie" on the menu ...

I knew you were comfortable but I didn't realize you had your own private British pub in your basement.

Well, that's one of the private restaurants I have in my basement, but I don't want to brag.

Every time he goes in the whole staff has to call out "Evan!" like he is Norm from Cheers.

No-one expects the Languish Inquisition.

Hasn't curry been added to 'traditional' British pub cuisine for a long time now? Here in Canada, I've been to expressly "British-style" pubs, and they generally serve curry (as well as stuff like fish and chips, Bangers, etc).

If the pub does food then, yeah it's likely (unless they're a gastropub). But there's a world of difference between pub curry (between the fish and chips and steak and kidney pie) and a good curry

They also won't do things like the mixed grill etc that a few of the owners in that article say is the best dish.

Christ - Britain's most prolific serial rapist convicted:
https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/reynhard-sinaga-evil-double-life-17518266

Indonesian born, sunday school-teaching, PhD student, who hung out in and around Manchester clubs, posed as a good samaritan and date-raped almost two hundred men (overwhelmingly straight), the police estimate 195 victims. He filmed a lot of the assualts.

Because of the number of complainants and the volume of evidence (and because he pled not guilty) there have had to be four separate trials - the final one closed today. Case has been so bad jurors have been offered counselling and exempted from future jury service.

Statements from the victims, most of whom didn't know, are really heartbreaking.

Yeah, that is just so crazy.

Yeah, but the widespread acceptance of "pub curry" as pub food would prime the population to accept real curry more readily.
