In Scruffy Murphys.. Bangla Rd this morning at about 11.30.... going in for a big glass of Heineken for 100 bht and to see if their wifi was working again ( it wasn't... that's 3 weeks now!!)

In come 3 Antipodeans.. 2 blokes and a girl... ask for the menu and drinks list....

and their choice..... 2 bottles of water and a coke.... OK... no probs with that...then the questions start.. is the ice made with filtered water.. Huh?... maybe no....OK no ice.

Then 2 of them turn out to be veggies..... and additional questions start... how do I know it is really vegetarian, can I see in the kitchen...

Are these really the descendants of people who fought the bush, the climate, the diseases and the hardships and went on to form the current nation of Australia?

Maybe they were just Kiwis or Tasmanians.....
