Same game different country. www.bbc.com/news/england/northamptonshire Not new.....similar to the Henderson Report standard which was used in Australia for some years. I think there were around 25% of families in poverty by that definition. It is not just lack of food that makes poverty. Problem is Agencies spend all their time and money in expensive seminars talking about it rather than doing something about it.

Speaking of the price of beer, can anyone tell me where I can buy an empty tower to take home? I tried in Bkk and CM, but they wouldn't sell. Even a bargirl friend of the wife couldn't borrow one for me. They might be available from beer suppliers apparently. Unless I can employ a fellow Mango to act as a decoy for 10 seconds. Why exactly would you want an empty beer tower? Well Monty, when I am over in October, I'll distract them and you take it and run, . You're always welcome to try the countryside life and crash with us.....

Sounds great, to the manor born. I'd like something like that. Bought a place in Sanya a couple of years ago that's the weekend/holiday escape and Canton. HK gets claustrophobic, we're near the beach but still....
