My son comes out and tells me Mama is going ballistic inside, intrigued I head back and there she is giving it to them.

Seems the security have found goods not charged correctly, pork loin and pork ribs.

Wifey is blowing off, I've just paid for goods and now you're making me look like a thief, she is asking other customers around her if they thought it was right that these people are shaming you after their own employees can't do their jobs.

We'd just spent around 9,000 baht, and she giving it large telling them ok give me all money back and you won't see us here again.

She got the money back.

Whilst I agree with her 100%, we now have to drive to Ubon now.

Must say I was really proud of her.

my son, on the other hand, ran a mile.

Well done Mrs Hornblower. I don't know you but I am proud of you too!

Welcome back Yaso.

^^ Entirely your choice Yaso.

In November 2000, a delegation of about 20 visitors, including professors from the Auburn University (Alabama) and catfish raising and processing companies went on a fact-finding tour in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam.
They made detailed surveys of the actual conditions of feeding and farming, for fish both in floating cages and inland ponds. They also visited various processing plants. At the conclusion of the tour, they praised the farming technology and equipment applied for fish breeding, feeding and farming; and found no grounds to lodge complaint about food safety and hygiene conditions throughout the processing cycle. At that time, if the Pangasius processing industry in Vietnam had problems, the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) would have banned the import of our Pangasius products, but this was obviously not the case.

Needless to say, we all know the culprits that stand behind this propaganda campaign. This is the same old story of an unfair attack generated by competitors from other countries that have conflicting interests.

Interesting, and I'll stand corrected once I look into it further. I confess I may have been a victim of propaganda.

What's a yaso? Seriously, what is it?

No way dude.
A Gravy for sure - but not even slightly a Yaso.

Propaganda or not, we changed our fish n chips to white snapper. Too much talk of the fake dory being a Mercury riddled bottom feeder. It does taste good but the snapper is better imo.

Is this the same fish they call 'white river cobbler' in the u.k? Very cheap and tastes ok.

Yes it is.

Tests by Asda and Tesco in the UK have found no trace of toxic contaminants.[16] Test from AQIS found trace levels of malachite green, but no other contaminants.

It may take a while, but people will learn that I never lie. And I realise the possible paradox in that statement.
Thanks for the vote of confidence.....indeed am am not anyone's reincarnation. I do not pretend to be someone I am not.
Actually, when (if) I go back to TVF I will make a point of making sure the even slightly astute know my former identity....come to that, my nick here tells that story, lol, if you know a little Thai language.

Back to the fish...seems like I was a sucker for the propaganda. Perhaps I will buy some frozen pangolin pangasius next time I'm in BigC.

Yes as per the link in post #113

Whatever become of the art of self-sufficiency [catch your own fvcking fish] instead of the dependency of the proverbial "supermarket" to supply....??

Very reflective of contemporary Western conditioning.

Don't think they're gonna pick up on your subtle innuendo, Strolls.

Nonetheless, nicely done.....

I'll play.

Thanks.

Thought they're farmed freshwater fish, bit cheeky to use for Brit style Fish&chips.

It is a freshwater fish as far as I know. Irrespective, a lovely tasting fish IMO.

Yes have to agree there R.s.
I get sublime enjoyment watching asians (in whatever country) tieing the smallest hook available onto the thickest line that goes thru the hole to set and feast upon whatever illegality snags its unfortunate nostril.
. Damn Asians.
