Anyway it's history now, everybody can have at it. Except the likes of me, well I'll probably have a pint of Guinness next week. Such is life.

This is an assumption and an incorrect one. I think I can say this with some authority being that I've lived here for 20+ years and have a house and family. When there's a party happening either at our

house or at one of the extended family's places (not a rare occurrence) or heading our for a get together somewhere, alcohol is always bought on the day and usually more than once.

Just to add the logic that in Pattaya (and I know that Pattaya is not a typical example) there are far more people drinking in bars, resto's etc on any given night than at middle class family gatherings. It is the first group that make it known they are unhappy with the closures not the second. Thus comments about stocking up are irrelevant.

BTW in a previous exchange you mentioned a friend Mr Porter, why did he switch to Alliance.
