Enid Blyton. I read loads of her books - including ones for girls - back in the day when 1 or 2 visits to the local library was kids entertainment. Bought some to read to my lads when they were kids - weren't interested (probably not enough action or magic).
A book that captivated me when I was a kid, I remember it so well, was Stig of the Dump. Wanted to find my own Stig (Did that car driving programme nick that name for the mystery driver?).
Enid Blyton! My favourite author when I was a kid. The Famous Five, The Secret Seven.
Mr Galliano's Circus was good one-off of hers.
I remember going to the cinema on a Saturday morning when the Children's Film Foundation presented Five On A Treasure Island, the first of the Famous Five books.
I'd read the book already, but it didn't detract from enjoying the film.

I think the world domination plan of this one must be pretty much complete?

Difficult to know who comes up with the most BS, him or Prayut.
Perhaps they're having a competition?

I wonder how many more covid-related deaths there will be purely due to the government delay in supplying the vaccine.
I would guess soon it will take over from traffic fatalities as a major source of death.
I'm sure that's not their plan is it - less population therefore less vaccine required?

I'd even steer clear of that. You never know if a drunk policemen might shoot you instead of the noodle vendor.

Funny---I was just looking at something posted on another thread about a doco, "They Chose China" twenty-one American POWs who, after the Korean War ended, chose to live in China instead of returning the USA.
Any idea where I might find it? I've checked a lot of the usual places.

I'd suggest eBay. They have quite a good 'wish-list'.

4 hours ago, webfact said:Thai border controls will tighten after the discovery of three local cases of the South African COVID-19 variant stemming from illegal border crossings, authorities said on Sunday,
After the numerous times we have heard 'border controls will tighten', there must by now be enough police and military to be able to lay them head-to-toe to seal the border.
Until of course, one or fifty of them simultaneously have a 'micro-sleep', allowing in more illegal immigrants.
4 hours ago, webfact said:The Thai government said it will increase manpower, checkpoints and electric surveillance along all land borders and order officials to be tougher on the trafficking of illegal migrants.
'increase manpower' - is that without recruiting new staff?
To my mind that must mean they have thousands already being paid to do nothing, if they can manage to transfer them with apparently no knock-on effects.

I can only speak for where I work every day, which is in a major Bangkok shopping mall, but, yes, there are lots of teenagers "hanging out" mainly in bubble tea shops and lots of families with younger kids.
I see bubble tea has an enormous amount of added sugar. I wonder if it makes them hyper?

Perhaps they couldn't understand your Yorkshire accent.
I had a friend from 'up north' who moved way down south to Leicester.
I thought of him when I read about ordering beans on toast. He always said 'torst'.
He eventually migrated to the deep south - well Torquay anyway.
I did quite a few jobs in Devon, and learnt a few words:
grockles - tourists (although that seems to be used around the south-west quite a bit)
spuddlin' - bullsh!tting

See this page in Thai. https://www.baac.or.th/th/content-product.php?content_group_semi=0004&content_group_sub=8&content_group=4&inside=1
Thanks UJ.
I'll get my wife to read the info on the page, then hopefully she'll know how to install the app for her dad.
