    How thick do you have to be ?

    After moving from the big house into the one we have rented for the next six months whilst we finish all our business here I am having a clear out. it is amazing just how much you accumulate over the years. Sold quite a lot of the furniture items and that on baht and sold and while going through the garage stuff today came across the pressure washer. I bought it with the intention of cleaning the cars and the bikes with it etc but it has hardly been used as it is just as easy and for mwe more relaxing to do it by hand. it is one of the mid range models with the detergent bottle and I think I paid around the seven thousand for it. So I banged it on the internet and then thought I would stick it outside the house as there is quite a bit of passing traffic.
    I made up a little sign, " For sale 3,500 Baht " which I zip tied to it and stuck it outside the house by the road and then for some added security I chained it to the bike to stop anyone simply pulling up and throwing it in the back of the truck.
    Now I know the shopping trolley isn't the newest of things but it is still a tidy three year old Yamaha nouvo elegance 135cc.
    It has only been out there an hour or so and yet I have had about twelve Thai's stop to look and as I am walking down the garden I can see they are walking round the bike kicking the tyres etc. They all thought the bike was for sale at 3,500 Baht FFS
    Treat everyone as a complete and utter idiot and you can only ever be pleasantly surprised !

    Air compressor to fill the tires...hence the casual kicking of the tires.
