Still laughing

I sent about a dozen emails to taxi companies for a quote from Agra to Jaipur and got what I think is a good offer for one of the companies, they quoted me 3200rupees, when I decided to contact them I realised their e-mail address was "dontworrychickencurry@hotmail .com
I couldn't stop laughing, I think I'll still contact them to see how it all pans out. Still laughing!!!!

Done a bit more research and they seem to work from the Tourist rest house in Agra, anyone stayed there or know anything about them.

A more appropriate question would be, Is 'Don't Worry' included in the fare ?

It's made me think that I need a much more original personal email

Something like 'forwhomthebhelpuritolls@hotma il.com'?


The Delhi-Agra journey can be a bit of a haul - so take water/snacks etc, but the price looks good. You really want something like a Toyota Innova for the trip .... may be worth checking it's not a Tata Indica ... or a Nano!

Yes they got back to me it's a tata indigo car, which I thinks ok. is it?
Well they're certainly very quick in answering me now the question is do I go with them or not. They're offer's been matched by Raj Travels in Agra, I've checked out their website and at least there's addresses and phone numbers but the "Dontworrychickencurry has me intrigued

I recognised the email address as soon as I read it. My wife stayed at the Tourist Resthouse back in 1989 and we almost did this year. She loved the place and it seems it's still getting good reviews (and some bad ones too, but that's life). She said the two brothers who ran it were really nice, I wonder if it's still them.
