There's a Milky Way in the UK/Ireland that's completely different to the Mars bar.

This is how all the now defunct Symbian code was compiled.

The problem with India is hygiene, not so much safety. The food might be great but you're practically guaranteed to get Delhi-Belly. I visited for work years ago, didn't eat any st…
