Update:- Got a working copy of the blue key from the key stall in my local Tesco. Took a couple of hours and cost 2500Baht. Not cheap but now have a spare key. Advice, Do not ever take your brown key out of the house.

Interesting, but not really practical. Not very cheap and we only have the one key now so sending it away would leave us without motorbike for long time. Will try some local locksmiths, there must be some shady guys around that have the gizmos for stealing these bikes. Anyway thanks for the info, will keep trying.

That sounds promising. There's a key stall in our local Tesco so will give that a try. Thank you

So we have lost the brown key for the Vespa Piaggio, only have the blue key now so no spare. Local Vespa dealer says can't clone Blue key need Brown key, only option is replace all the anti theft electrics on the bike at a cost of about 10K Baht There must be a way of making an extra spare key from only the Blue key. A quick look on the Intrnet does seem to suggest that it's possible but can't find any in the Saraburi area. Any information on local key cloners most welcome Thanks

Thanks all for your feedback. I have been getting lots of good info from Google and every little helps. Seems village or bottle water doesn't really matter, guess its' all just water. Anyway hoping for better luck with my fish in the future

A few weeks ago the kids came back from the local fair with a couple of fish in a plastic bag. Seems they won them at one of the stalls throwing hoops or something. Anyway the upshot was we got a small tank and then all the bits to go with it that make up an aquarium. We got the usual plastic plant and stones for the floor and a small water filter system and an air bubble machine and the fish seemed to be quite content. Getting a bit over confident with our fish keeping ability we got some extra fish from the local pet store to keep our original fish from the fair company. Unfortunately over the weeks some of the original fish and all the ones from the store have all died 😞 Have done some Googling and followed the advice and was wondering about the conditioners you can get to add to the water. Are these products any good and do they work? Also does it matter what water is used in the tank? At the present we use bottle drinking water as it doesn't have chlorine or whatever as the village water would have, Any information from successful aquarium owners welcome. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/seachem-prime-prime-complete-and-concentrated-conditioner-for-both-fresh-and-saltwater-i2864221775-s17483936881.html?

Been missing from my local Lotos's for some weeks now Does Makro still have them?

I like the salty taste, anyway good for you in hot climate. AND I'm too old now to worry about what it might do to my arteries

Cheese and Marmite or better still Cheese and Ham and Marmite Yum! Yum!

Got a jig saw and reciprocating saw to cover that. There is also the good old hand saw, remember those.

I'm too old now to do many of the jobs I managed in the past. Now if anything major comes up I will get a local guy to come in and do it. Of course it's never as good as doing it yourself but that's life. In my comprehensive tool collection I still have Jig saw, reciprocating saw and of course a couple power drills, one cordless. I could possibly manage most jobs with these tools, but obviously some jobs would be easier with either a grinder or circular saw. But which ?

Thanks for all your help and suggestions. I'm leaning toward a cordless angle grinder as it does seem to do most things, except cut straight lines and proper angles but that's down to me. It's not really a question of affordability of buying two machines, it's a question of how much use they will get. Now that the main work round the property is done chances are that each or both machines will sit on the shelf for months in between use. Better having just one machine sitting round idle.
