You want random guesses? 14th January 1794... I believe it was a Tuesday. He couldn't open for lunch because his cardamon pods hadn't arrived from the Docks that morning.

Is it the Gaylord?

You've just been told by Hammond Suddards that you and your cousins are related to the last remaining Mahomet descendant who died without a direct heir, and you are the proud owner of a 3540 hectare tea plantation in the Punjab.... [fingers crossed].

[QUOTE 2502373, member: 1314"]Anyone know why I asked the question?[/quote]

Yes.

 

[Archie_tect]

Is that 'yes' because you know why CoG asked the question, or 'yes' because you know the answer to the question?

So much to know, so little time....

 

[Canrider]

Erm...'yes' to both of those.

My dentist doesn't take as long as this....

Heavens, are you *waiting* for the answer? Apparently 1810, what you've done here is mix up his publication of his Travels (1794) and his opening of the Hindoostanee Coffee House on George Street, London in 1810.

I knew that, but I was washing my hair

Canrider! ....CofG specifically said not to google .... I made the date up so that's just a coincidental fluke
