Thanks to Jose Colaco for pointing out the obvious typo in my earlier
posting. I meant 1980s and not 1880s.
It has also subsequently come to my recollection (!) that there are many
restaurants and bars where the owners wife or mother or sister helps with
the job of waiting on tables. These are technically waitresses. Or aren't
they? Also one (elderly and respectable) correspondent has written in that
one of the waitress' at Viva Panjim restaurant is actually from Hyderabad
(his exact words are "when I tried to flirt with the comely lass")
Horny old men aside, I think this proves my point that when us locals
cannot fill up a job vacancy we should not complain about outsiders taking
up the jobs we are not willing to do.
Cheers!

You see.... even in the late 1800s ( 1880s to be exact) Mapuca (or Mapusa
as it was then known as) had a pub.
