Hi, Don't know if I'm replying too late to this one but there is a good Thai restaurant, called the Thai Orchid on Friargate near to a pub called 'It's a scream' (yes honestly). Preston also has a very large number of Curry houses (at least forty in or around the town centre) with a couple on the same street as the Thai Orchid, one is called 'The Dilshad' (I think that's how you spell It but that's how you pronounce it anyway) No real hot chilli places though, but if you like curries there is no problem. regards David ********************** David A Hothersall Interactive3D Ltd 296 Sharoe Green Lane Preston Lancs PR2 9HB England Tel/Fax: +44 (0)1772 717 218 E-Mail : david@interactive3d.co.uk Website : http://www.interactive3d.co.uk and http://www.infinitevr.com Real-time Simulation,Virtual Reality, programming and consultancy.
