Paul888 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Would love to see which Nationality has the most representation here. I feel an Aussie pre-dominance, but is that just because they are the loudest? I will start by admitting, I am originally from UK. Southern England to be precise.

I'm almost scared to find out what a banana bender is. Maybe they got something on backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJIC Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) Surprised the Poll didnt include Scandinavians,prominantly. I would have thought they have a high presence in Thailand? Edited December 21, 2010 by MAJIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgriffith Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I agree, the Dutch and Scandinavian members need to be included. The OP can modify the poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sceadugenga Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Why is Crossy voting in the English contingent? He's not from Chiang Rai.... is he? Is this some sort of ring in to pad the results in the soapdodgers favour? Where's the referee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sceadugenga Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 It compromises the exclusivity of the Chiang Rai forum. Not saying we're better than the others but we beat the hell out of second place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgriffith Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I took the liberty of changing the poll, adding a few more options. Unfortunately, everyone's previous vote was voided, so vote again! I will recuse myself from voting this time, as I am not strictly a CR resident.....
