Basil B Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Thankfully the police did not try cutting the locks with an angle grinder. Anyone who thinks the authorities are spoilsports should see the video from this BBC report. -- BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-36288863 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil B Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I thought they had been banned in the whole of Thailand a few years ago... But like most laws just not enforced. The PG article does site risk to aviation. But more to the point they are a big fire risk... http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/916450-samui-ablaze-in-worst-fire-in-decades/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
