Greetings from Berkshire

Post by Andrew »

Hi all, after many years observing from the sidelines i've finally summoned up the courage to register and join in the banter.
As a frequent visitor to Hua Hin since 1987 I enjoy reading (and sometimes I don't) of updates and challenges that Hua Hin faces as it continues to expand from what I recall all those years ago, to the sprawling town that it is today.
Looking forward to sharing and exchanging our many collective experiences and who knows one day i might even have some old photographs of the town that can be shared too.

All the best
Andrew

Welcome Andrew, it sounds as though you have much more to offer to the forum than many of us with those photos going back some 25 years - please start posting. :cheers:

Welcome Andrew,

I had a few beers with an Andrew from Berkshire here some while back. There again there must be many Andrews in Berkshire and a few will no doubt have been to Hua Hin :wink:

It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.

Hi Andrew,

Don't be frightened.
Sometimes the banter gets a bit inflammatory. :cuss:
But it's safe to stay on the sidelines and watch the show.



Where I live the TV is rubbish, so this Forum provides a nice alternative.

I have learned a lot.

Haven't been to Newbury since working with Quantel back in the'80s.
Those were the days.....

I know Andrew and I think you are trying to teach a chicken to suck eggs IMO

Thanks, I Should say that I will try and keep a low profile, but from the encouragement received so far I'm sure things will be just fine.
Sharing photos may take some further courage, but once I find them (remember these are the old fashion type, none of the fancy digital stuff around in those days) I will gladly share.

I'm further west (Berkshire)! The other side of Newbury.
