Here, associations mean dues, which means money collected, which means under protection money. Taxi's, tuktuks, jetskis, beach chairs, massage, umbrellas and whatever else. A few different people are getting slices of these "associations" and most of us know who these people are in their various locations, and most of them have been in the news lately.

"Associations" also means collusion, so all vendors can set the same overinflated price.

The consumer either gets ripped off, or goes without.

Yes, the Association of Umbrella Vendors.

I believe their new coat-of-arms includes three Dodos rampant, on a field of yellow..

A bit daft. Each lease is for approx 100m. So you will have 20 - 30 people in the Association.

It's more to keep "unwanteds" out. La Cosa Nostra (Our Thing).

It isn't (or wasn't cheap) either. A friend who's GF had a patch (financed by a German with blinders)

Said he paid 65k per month with advanced payment.

Follow the money. A couple million per month in who's pocket? This could pay for a gaggle of guards

and cleaners. TIT I'm afraid. Maybe TINT can be the new moniker. You heard it here first boys and girls.
