Walk around UK smiling at everyone and pretty soon you'll be classed as a Funny Farm candidiate.

Unless you're watching an olympic cycling event apparently - where the police get v concerned if you're not looking happy!

But otherwise, I agree with you.

Our own dear old yet sadly late Queen Mother was forever smiling, no matter with what adversity she was faced; an inspiration to us all, that sadly only the simpletons amongst us seem to have taken to heart

I think a persistent smile is the one thing that the simpleton and the devious have in common.

And I think Thais have managed to make the cultural transition from one to the other without the angst of realisation or ambitious envy

Talking stereotype here, of course. Personally, I find a polite smile goes a long way further than an honest or heartfelt scowl

Once i read an article about the benefits that smiling brings onto society in general..

.. Well the day after my car was stopped at a police block.. I smiled to the cops and said goodmorning, but i was told abrubtly to stop laughing and hand on the driving license..I never smiled to a cop again, quite a few of them lack sense of humour.

Aye, right, so you let the pitiful lack of a sense of humour by some poor serfs in brown affect your behaviour from there on. You're not much of a white fella, if you let the natives affect you like that
