    If this were true then this forum would inundated with news stories everyday about foreigners being arrested and deported by immigration for doing everyday menial tasks around their homes.

    Those BMW smart cars would be out and about 24/7 trying to round up all the rule breakers.

     

    Which reminds me, I must change that leaking tap tomorrow morning...

    Your last sentence , our water pump came on a few nights ago , it turned out to be a tap in the garden that was dripping.  I got a Thai to fix it , my wife wrapped PVC tape round the thread.

  2. Sorry meatboy can offer no help. Curtains are funny things here. We have them on every window but when we moved up here and had them made it took a lot of searching to find some one who could make them , why curtains are so unusual I don't know.   Good luck anyway .

  3. Most of my exercise robblok is using my right hand ...let me clarify Typing on here. Oh and every day a mile on bicycle and a mile back from Ban Hoi. In 16 days time I will be 75 and compared to my folks who loved walking I am doing pretty good.  Saying that it is a fact that we live longer now . 19th into 20th Century 50 was old.

    I remember on a visit to the Netherlands in 1968 just how many rode bicycles , of couse it is flat there so no excuses.

    Male or female! I pulled over one day while riding my motorcycle to stop and help a young lady who I thought had a flat tire. I looked down and she was having a pee on the other side of the car. I wished her well and left.

    My wife says a man taking a pee is shooting the rubbish , a lady taking a pee is watering the flowers .

    I too don't like Sedan transam but Saloon does sound a bit like a place to get a drink. Car is short for carriage and that is bleddy awful too.  Truck is the front part of a steam loco before the driving wheels.

    Popping a wheelie , bah humbug !

    I live there in SE London but it's expensive in the centre/West end but fun. Nightlife becomes inaccessible at times. The suburbs are fun in the summer but when winter sets in its a  bit grim.  The ideal  is 9 months here and 3 months there..but covid  stopped  that. When I return home its both unnerving  and reassuring that my same mates are in the same Pub in the same seats...

    Your last sentence ! After my first visit out here before it became permanent I went back to my old job and a chap there said ' 'ello Phil where have you been not seen you lately '.     Just LoS for a month or so.
