Seeing as the UK took 3 years for a full trade deal with India recently announced, whatever they've just knocked up with the Americans ain't going to be 'full and comprehensive' - possibly full of something -
German, Japanese, Korean or whatever, there's no money to be made from inefficiency, you want them to run a business or a charity?

Ours is probably 25 years old, no lights, only addition are the pots the legs stand in that you keep topped up with water to keep ants out. People in the west have just gone soft.

Switching to a new phone - massive ballache
Stocky replied to scubascuba3's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
Couple years since I last changed phones but my recollection of moving Samsung to Samsung was surprisingly painless. -
Other way round I think, the modern Western fixation with trying to live in a totally sanitised environment means westerners have lost that immunity or resilience to bacteria.

Same here, though food isn't left out on the table, ants would be at it by morning, but we have a cabinet in the kitchen, metal sides with ventilation mesh, glass doors, the legs sit in little pots you fill with water to keep the ants away. Uneaten food goes in there, used up next day. In 20 years no one's died.

What is up with tattoos and tourists / expats here?
Stocky replied to Maxbkkcm's topic in General Topics
I'd say the general observation still holds true. I work in the mining industry, on several projects globally, and my observation is that the number of tattoos correlates with education level; the fewer the greater the chance the person holds at least one degree. Yes there are exceptions, so it's not a matter of discrimination, rather that better educated generally people don't get tattooed or have very few. -
As they say, Stormy Daniels is the only person Trump's ever employed who was qualified for the job.
