It's the danger of the ten days becoming another ten days, and then another that is worrying. If it results in further falls in the infections rates then more power to them. Let's get this damn virus nailed down so that we can all get back to normal. I did 15 years in Saudi Arabia so I can stand a few weeks without booze. 4 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only different will be the transport for the few meters to my home. Have to use instead a plastic bag my old small backpack, where a six pack of Big Chang can be placed easily. Get them to use the black plastic bags which nobody knows the contents of ???? Edited April 9, 2020 by MaiDong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't blame you, aside from the fat part. Good opportunity to get that cr@p (filtered. really!) Thai beer out of your system. Seeing them boxes of Leo makes me cringe a bit.

Now if it were Lao I used to love Leo, but it seems to have changed considerably, for the worse too. When i was back in the UK last summer I was amazed at the choice, and the flavours! Coming back here was a turning point, beer wise. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they changed the taste when the government put up taxes on alcohol a few years ago..they also sneakily reduced the actual beer in the bottle from 630 to 620 ML but covered that with a new sticker on the neck of the bottle. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 2long Posted April 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2020 Crazy really, because every other year the roads are packed and they don't ban the sales of booze. This year people are advised not to drive home and they ban the sale of booze! ???????????? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithet Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I ordered a few cases from Tesco shopping online and the delivery date is not for the 14th. I guess Tesco will cancel my order even though it was placed before this ban 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
