Advice please.

I am off work sick today with food poisoning. I had a rather tasty curry Saturday night but after that I have been quite ill. I suspect the curry was the culprit as the only other thing I had to eat was cheese and brown sauce sandwich.

Would it be worth giving the curry house a ring later and telling them they gave me food poisoning and asking what they can do about it, or just chalk it up to a lesson and not use them again (used them for the past 3 years).

The curry house won't do anything for you. Your only path is to raise it with the food standards agency, though don't expect any compensation or anything for your ordeal.

I see. There were 4 of us that had a curry...only I am ill...

You can't prove it was the curry that made you ill. Could just be a random stomach bug, who knows? Especially that no one else was ill.

I can't even believe you are thinking of going down the route of compo. The curry house will do nothing for you, stop being a blame-culturist, compo seeking tumor on society.

Fair enough on the bug. I wasn't seeking compo. I had a dodgy pizza from another take-away and they apologised and gave me a free meal...

Well...I've been the doctors...he said it's not food poisoning but something called Norovirus? He said to eat dry food and drink plenty of water, I should be ok for tomorrow. I had to go for my flu jab so mentioned it whilst I was there...flu jab is now next week...

Remind me to never make assumptions and jump the gun...

Ahem............

Thank you...I never saw that...I was at Doctor's at 13.00 so left at about 12.20...

lol.. you went to the doctor about a tummy upset?

No. I had to go for my flu jab...I mentioned my bad gut and was told about it and now I have to back next week for my jab...
