Ok mate thanks for the generous offer and I hope that Blondes get on it, I will put my hat in the ring and give it a shot if you wish. Might have to late reg by 20 mins or so if ok with you
I see no-one has responded to your SIM card question yet.
I spent a month in Bangalore last October and it was next to impossible to obtain a local SIM. Only locals are allowed to purchase them as the Govt has cracked down hard their use in terrorism.
I was unable to get one, if you can find a resident to get one for you that I believe is the only way.
