[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1098368, member: 70552"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0019qzz/episodes/player[/URL] Been listening to these short “podcasts” but really extracts read by the author from her book on her experiences growing up in takeaway. Personally, as a BBC and my parents being 1st generation immigrants, I can definitely relate to her experiences. In my parent’s case fish and chip takeaway in Home Counties of England rather than a Chinese takeaway in the Valleys of Wales. But still very similar in terms of experience: The identity crisis and counter acting as a physical divide between the clashing cultures. The communication issues with parents. Also reminded me how Chinese takeaways around my area have receded through the second generation not wanting to take over the previous businesses, but also due to the increasing saturation of the fast food business has eroded the profits in the catering business. Not going to get any better with rising costs. It’s a sodding hard life anyway and increasingly for little reward. Glad my parents got out of it while they could. [/QUOTE]
