The Polonium Restaurant
Вторник, декабря 5, 2006A suddenly notorious name is paying off for a Polish restaurant in northern England.
The Polonium Restaurant in Sheffield, 260 kilometres north of London, has had to order extra deliveries and turn people away some days since news broke that a former Russian spy died of poisoning from radioactive polonium-210, manager Boguslaw J Sidorowicz said today.
«I would say we’ve been up 20 to 30 per cent,» Sidorowicz said, adding that the restaurant is fully booked on Saturday, and had to serve two dinner sittings on Sunday. «We are normally pretty quiet on Sunday. It’s incredible.»
News of the death of former spy Alexander Litvinenko «has been in the papers and on the radio everyday and I suppose it reinforces the name of the restaurant in people’s minds», Sidorowicz said.
The name, he said, came from a Polish folk band he played in during the late 1970s.
