Allowances dear boy allowances. No one wanted to end up with Indian rupees that you couldn't exchange. Not only that the weather at that time wasn't very good for topping up the tan. Once you've done the sights there was very little else to do. I remember getting stuck in the floods of Calcutta for a week and walking over planks with rats swimming under them at the Oberoi. India wasn't a favourite at that time. I have all that on 8mm cine film. I must get round to transfering it.
