Way back when we rented our condo it was all arranged with the condo management company. Deposit duly paid (2 months at the time), receipts for rent and water every month (electricity was direct to PEA). All good. After about 2 years a nice lady turned up at the door to check on "her" unit. It turns out she really was the owner and the management company hadn't been sending her the rent (or told her they'd rented the unit)! All sorted amicably, we started paying the rent directly (we stayed another 6 years). The condo management company was fired (all sorts of irregularities were uncovered by the new management). I never found out if the owner got her money.

I think we all knew what you meant in reality ???? I've got some dihydrogen-monoxide heating, it has to be watched carefully for correct infusion of C76H52O46 ????

Just for clarity chaps, "H2O" is water, "H2O2" is hydrogen peroxide. Use as a topical antiseptic - yup no problem. As a mouthwash, ok but don't swallow it. Be very careful with solutions over 3%. https://nj.gov/health/eoh/rtkweb/documents/fs/1015.pdf

Salted water is surely "stronger" than plain water?

Perhaps I wasn't clear. If they hand over just the UK passport (to show right of entry to the UK) it won't have any Thai stamps - red flag. If they just hand over the Thai passport it won't have a UK visa - red flag. Both passports are needed at check-in to show they are legally in Thailand and have right of entry to the UK.

Yup, unwritten rule of dual nationals "never show both passports to one immigration official". They will probably have to show both passports to the check-in clerk to show they have the right of entry to the UK and aren't on overstay in Thailand.

No, I don't have her number!

I refuse to eat anything labelled as "reformed ham", if it's gotten its act together we should let it live.

Indeed, and "a shortage of cuts" could also be applied to some of the "ladies" on offer

One thing we loved when living in Belgium was that all the bread was unsliced, even in the supermarket. A machine was provided which allowed the customer to select the slice thickness required and then slice the loaf. That along with French vin-de-table at 4.50 Euros for 3 bottles made life most comfortable (and more than somewhat blurred at times).

It did catch a fair number out. But it meant I could listen to more of Gary Davies "Sounds of the 80s" on BBC Radio 2 whilst waiting. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03c936z

Photos and recipe please! In a food forum of course.

Of course it's benign, but calling a mod "childish" could be classed as "unwise" Why do you think it's posted in The Pub?

https://www.makroclick.com/en/products/120960-aro-slices-sandwich-bread-600-g Definitely supposed to be actually sliced. Evidently a shortage of cuts.

Designed to confuse farangs. The Thai just says "sandwich bread" nothing about slices.

Farmer Jones got out of his car and while heading for his friend's door, noticed a pig with a wooden leg. His curiosity roused, he asked, "Fred, how'd that pig get him a wooden leg?" "Well, Michael, that's a mighty special pig! A while back a wild boar attacked me while I was walking in the woods. That pig there came a runnin', went after that boar and chased him away. Saved my life!" "And the boar tore up his leg?" "No he was fine after that. But a bit later we had that fire. Started in the shed up against the barn. Well, that ole pig started squealin' like he was stuck, woke us up, and 'fore we got out here, the darn thing had herded the other animals out of the barn and saved 'em all!" "So that's when he hurt his leg, huh, Fred?" "No, Michael. He was a might winded, though. When my tractor hit a rock and rolled down the hill into the pond I was knocked clean out. When I came to, that pig had dove into the pond and dragged me out 'fore I drownded. Sure did save my life." "And that was when he hurt his leg?" "Oh no, he was fine. Cleaned him up, too." "OK, Fred. So just tell me. How did he get the wooden leg?" "Well", the farmer tells him, "A pig like that, you don't want to eat all at once!"

Wilco! Recipe here http://www.localfoodheroes.co.uk/?e=541 I left out the optional sodium ascorbate as I couldn't find it in small packs.

One of my "lockdown food experiments" is home cured bacon. Only started today so have to wait a week before we know if it's actually worked.

Amazingly the pig and chicken was well stocked.

Not really a serious issue but:- Today makro didn't have our usual sliced "Farmhouse" brown bread (I know it's mass produced junk but we like it). So I bought this "slices sandwich bread", guess what, it's not actually sliced, just marked on the top. Luckily Madam has a suitable machete to cut it up. Or maybe I could hollow it out and serve soup in it ????

And the important one N-E? Don't assume it's going to be the same as the G-E one (it should be of course but ...). Is N-E constant or does it vary with load or time of day? A MEN N at 14V isn't right, shame you can't check at the meter (is it sealed you you can't remove the terminal cover?). I might still be tempted to remove the MEN link, at least then you know all your grounds are actually at ground.

Definitely a**e backwards then, go for it.

Never seen that one, are you using a VPN that makes you appear to be in China/HK/Taiwan? If so try turning it off.

Due to the photos not really showing the meter reading properly can you post your measurements please? If you are getting 220V between the incoming "neutral" and your known earth then things are reversed. Why not pay a local sparks to come and swap the wires either in your box or at the meter, has to be better the cutting the bus-bar etc?

Excellent to have a first hand experience. I've not been to Bang Sue Grand recently so no idea how the vaxx operation is affecting the actual working part of the station.
