Does that mean you're not only a flat earth vegan but even a 'greeny'? Mind you, when it does not rain there should be enough sunshine to let them pay back costs in less than ten years (any government subsidy?). |

That should do the trick.  |

It was the front yard not littered with empty m roi and leo bottles that gave it away for me. Queensland. The front yard is relatively sterile apart from the usual 15 pairs of shoes at the front door. Cars driving on the lawn and all that. The back yard is more Thai; Mango and paw paw trees, chickens, spirit house, lime trees, big outdoor area full of shit. |

We're on the grid but this stuff pays for itself. With the misses cooking all hours and the air cons running constant. |

Is it just because they don't throw anything away.? Are they always short of storage space.? I will have to make it my next project to do a detailed study, survey and investigation into the matter. I'll start tomorrow or Friday. |

Its actually a major farang red flag that too many are ignorant of. I remember years ago going upcountry and encountering the exact same scene, it was at that moment in time Pun knew the relationship was going no further, she looked beautiful in her summer bonnet and easter dress, had really made an effort and that is what she was confronted with. I can still remember the look of utter disappointment and embarrassment on her face. |

A couple of bags of cement for a small job, kids bikes... The usual. |

Ha ha, shot me down Oldie.
But my point is generally valid, any free surface here is instantly converted to temporary or permanent storage space. I am thinking specifically of a few bars in Pattaya and their less used tables. And one non-bar a bit closer to home. 😕
