Had to give poorest rating, because they almost killed me. We bought take-away. I was enjoying the sweet and sour pork (the food was very nice) when my throat suddenly felt like it was being pierced with a needle. It was agony. My daughter was on the phone to the ambulance. I couldn't breathe and was coughing uncontrollably. Every cough was agony; even the slightest movement caused intense pain in my throat. Luckily after about seven or eight minutes of the most incredible pain and fear, the coughing dislodged the sharp object.and I was able to bring it up. It was a piece of plastic with sharp ends and about 2cm long and 3mm wide. I've had surgery and my stomach is very small. If it had gone down, I would have suffered a perforated stomach.

I had gone into shock and it was about fifteen minutes before I stopped shaking and crying. When I had recovered enough, I rang them to tell them what had happened, and warn them to have a good look at the sweet and sour pork, so that it wouldn't happen to anyone else. My voice was very husky, but, but my father and daughter tell me it was easy to understand. I spoke to three people,but unfortunately none of them could understand my English - strange, because I heard the first person I'd spoken to, explaining to someone in the background, that there was something in the sweet and sour pork. Puzzling!!!

Soon after that my voice failed and it took three days before I got it back. I was afraid, at first, that my vocal cords had been damaged, so those three days were very hard.

All I wanted when I rang them was an acknowledgement and an apology, and to warn them to stop this happening to anyone else. Now, because of the games they played on the phone, I'm very angry and I'm considering suing.
