    Too late; you've bankrupted me with all your wheeler dealer haggling and I've got nothing left!

      Something that stands out to me from those photos is the fact I cant see a pothole in any of the roads, and apart from a bit of litter the streets look very clean.

      Also remember the days when you worked on a building site and you didn't have to dress up like a christmas tree.

          And you could park by the side of the road without being in a bus lane.

              We managed OK without them, last week.

                    I can see Mrs Shiney with the grey hair under the cap plus the red sweatshirt round her shoulders:biggrin:

                    I like the way they have three people sitting on those mopeds and the ladies must feel very safe as they have their handbags on show which would have had the pickpockets out in force if it was in certain parts of this country:biggrin:

                    Too much litter and too many people squashed together for my liking so I don’t think I shall be going there any time soon:snorky:

                        @JWK Some of it was quiet - but not lot!

                        P1370287.JPG

                        @Kandy there was very little evidence of pickpocketing as the locals tend to dish out summary justice. We witnessed a man try to take a shawl from a woman's shoulder whilst we were in the bazaar (street market). She shouted, and some men grabbed him. Then about a dozen men stood round him and they took it in turns to slap him round the head about six times. That's a lot of slaps!

                            Got any of those paper things that say £10 on them? They're no longer legal tender, after midnight, but I'll be happy to take them from you. :blue thumb:
