A friend went into Makro in Korat yesterday and found potatoes on special offer Bht 27.00/kg. He said "I'll have two boxes please". The assistant wheeled out two boxes and said "they are Bht 37.00/kg in the boxes". "OK, I'll take 20 kg loose in plastic bags then."

This road sign you would expect to find on exiting the arrivals car park at the airport. But there isn't one there. It's actually in the middle of the countryside 25km from the nearest port of entry. If you've got that far without realising that you need to be driving on the left then you have been having a very lucky day!

Perhaps that's the point where they think people might forget. I know of several people who drive quite regularly in Europe and have no problems at all with driving on the right, yet they have all gone on to the wrong side of the road once or twice without thinking and not always at the most obvious places or times.
 
Today, in a health food shop, a child was talking to his mother about wanting another health bar, with a different flavour - not tried.
His mother said "I see...so that's your back up!"

I have an online friend who seems only to cook curries (in batch - to freeze) and not much else! He likes to hear of what I cook though and so I can sometimes influence him to try something different, if it's simple.

He recently got interested in me telling him I had smoked salmon scrambled eggs (also that I had chorizo scrambled eggs). Today it made me smile to read that he had tried the salmon version and found it to be terrific!

Blimey! Not sure I want to come driving down your way. Deciding which side if the road to drive on is a decision usually made pretty early on in the journey, thereafter not really up for debate.

We were introduced to scrambled egg, smoked salmon and chorizo for breakfast a couple of years ago at a delightful b&b in Aldeburgh, we have it everytime we go

Well I have either chorizo scrambled eggs or smoked salmon scrambled eggs....to have them altogether may be salt overload for me!
