Perhaps trying to give themselves some cents (sense). I might try it with the wife. Put a coin in the slot and see if starts making sense (cents).

I've thought about it over the last few years since moving back to Oz but it is wishful thinking. The amount of kids (and adults) bicycles left out for collection or thrown in a council skip blows me away. Even worse now as everyone wants an E-bike so the regular ones are getting thrown out. When I think of how grateful a Thai kid would be to get a free bike. I shipped a 20ft container from Singapore to Oz some years back and that was 10k SGD and with container prices through the roof at the moment you would have to think hard about how to cover your costs. Then there is Mr Customs in Thailand wanting a slice of the pie. With regards to car seats its a step in the right direction but Thailand has a long way to go and they haven't really thought it through (like many of their ideas). Even getting adults to wear seat belts is a challenge. I've upset more than one Thai relative in my time saying we ain't moving until you got you belt on. Then you still see the 2-5 years olds standing up on the seat of the scooter between rider and passenger. No safety there. I think the wife has ideas of a 40ft container when we do return to Thailand and I shudder to think what will be in it, but hopefully we can bring some stuff that will be of help to others.

I see countless numbers of these out on the verge for rubbish collection or with a "for free" sign on them in Australia. Nothing wrong with them except no longer required and seems most people here want new items for their new born or infants and not used. You struggle to give stuff away most times just because people want new stuff. Cots, prams/push carts, change tables, baby car seats, booster seats and so on. Guess it is similar in other Western countries. You can literally furnish a house with the stuff that gets thrown out here.

It was all a misunderstanding
