It "Price Gouging" very easy to stop. The Authority that issues that business license to trade, simply just takes away (from the Owner/Premises) that License for ever. [-X

I would be very surprised if the UK did not already have such an ACT in place, which allows the Licensing Authority to either suspend the Trading License, if not cancel it for good :-k

That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.

With regards to the last 3 posts, all I see are small, independent traders working to keep some stock on the shelves after their 'loyal' customers have probably already triple-loaded their SUV's when they stripped their local Aldi, Tesco and Sainsbury's bare. If you can't afford it, go wipe your arse on a tenner.

With regard to the OP, what the hell has Air Canada got to do with Udon Thani? I recommend Doodoo self-report this thread as off topic and get the Mod to move it.

It has as much to do with Canada as the Great Britain The only thing in common was that the UK used to be a Colony of Canada

I have been around since 2004. This is why I don't post. Smarmy . angry Udon locals who havn't got a life. This is what happened back in 2006 at the meet-up at the night market.. Condescending old farts who failed in their own country and think they know everything. Luckily my wife and I returned to my native land and are happily married 18 years. Even she doesn't want to return.

Friendly bunch of helpful lads on this forum, I think not. You boys actually ruined your only way of communication and Udon / Farang society yourselves.

Hi. Choi Choi. I aam trying to remembeer names but I remember a lot of you came to visit me when I had pancreatitis in the hospital near the lake. Alphonsus is a name and also an Italian chap. Etc. Etc. Good fun to be honest and thanks for dropping in. Remember I had a big party for opening My Big White Mansion in Non Sung opposite the lake?

I still have that. Stayed in it 9 weeks in total since 2006. Just left it there. But it is Trump material still.

Can't win them all.

Thanks for making the effort. As granny used to say, 'everything in its place and a place for everything.'

I only post responses to those who have already opened a non-Udon thread in the Udon only sub-forum... then I report them and the Mod moves them. I don't start threads in the wrong place.

I don't have neighbors

Now go wash your hands
