'I won round racist customers and became a legend'

Available for over a year

George Miah is a well known face around Oswestry, having run 'The Simla' for 50 years. George found running an Indian restaurant in the 70s tough due to regular racist abuse, "People who were bad or rude to us then are bringing their grandchildren here and they're even owning up to what they've done and saying to their grandchildren 'look this is what we did to George and he put up with us'. And now I'm a legend to them." BBC Radio Shropshire's Richard Tisdale reports.
