You doner want to be eating here

October 14, 2008

'Kebabs made as corpse lay nearby' is a headline bound to grab anyone's attention, but it made Guru almost choke on his chicken shish.

In what must be the most blatant disregard for an employee's wellbeing, a fast food shop owner was found preparing kebabs while a staff member's corpse lay nearby.

Police called to the shop owned by Jaswinder Singh in Wolverhampton discovered the man's body on a sofa near the kitchen.

A statement read out to the court, said: "Upon his arrival the officer observed a dead male lying on a sofa at the rear of the main kitchen. Sat opposite to him was Mr Singh who was preparing food, making kebabs."

The court also heard that in a nearby room were a large number of flies which were landing on food. There was also an "awful smell", thawing meat oozing blood, and a man smoking and spitting on the filthy floor. Sounds like Guru's local pub. 

It is not known whether the man expired after eating one of his own kebabs, but Guru would venture that this could be a likely cause of death.

No volume of chilli sauce is ever going to persuade Guru that eating a doner kebab is a good idea.
