Spice of life

Eating a curry can save your life. Or least protect you from serious harm.

I'd been planning to cook duck legs for dinner tonight but, late afernoon, my wife suggested eating instead at Kababish in Woodbridge Road, Moseley.

Consequently, no-one was sitting at the table in our kitchen at the usual time we eat when a quarter of the ceiling collapsed because of a water leak.

I'm not sure what harm would have befallen us, but the plaster that crashed down was water-laden and heavy.
