Re: Baked Beans

I've just had my 'beans on toast' for lunch in Luxembourg and enjoyed it immensely.

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

Maybe that's the output voltage of the charger? I'll have a read about it when I get the chance. Incidentally, my partner picked up my BYD Atto 3 from the dealership yesterday but I won't be back in Hua Hin for a couple of weeks, so I can't say much about it yet except I'm happy with the price.

Re: Baked Beans

Yes, I haven`t lived in Nottingham since the nineties but at that time we used to drive to a Morrisons in Newark.
Back on topic, I`m happy with the Ayam brand beans in Asia, I used to get them when I was working in Indonesia.

^I've never seen a porcupine outside of a zoo, or a TV nature documentary.
I've spent quite a bit of time in Issan but never saw one there, the locals had probably eaten them all!
