Re: "Curbs sought on drivers using cheap LPG fuel," (BP, Feb 14).

How much more is needed to demonstrate that there seems to be no clear-cut policy regarding fuels and vehicles?

So LPG vehicles now exceed one million. No big deal. Why is the government planning to ban new registration of LPG-fueled vehicles? Was it not this Pheu Thai government in the first place that kept encouraging and coaxing us to switch from benzene fuel to gasohol, LPG and NGV?

Andrew: I have found that both North Face and Columbia clothing stores offer some items worth checking out. These two outlets are also here in Thailand. IMHO

Very true "Bulldog". Moderation in ALL things is the way to go mate. Whether you are a vegetarian or a carnivore watch not what you eat but how much you eat.

My only vice ? Now and again I love a serve of fish and chips.

It seems people enjoy making it hot as possible by blanketing the ground in concrete which reflects heat,driving cars which drive up the temperature even more and finally cutting down every tree possible eliminating any chance of shade .Enjoy the heat .

Fortunately for me I am now retired and my usual daily attire is shorts, a thin shirt of many colours and sandals.
Mnay years ago while serving in the military in the Arab Gulf area and in Singapore I was issued with tropical uniforms of KD shorts, shirt and knee socks. no tie was necessary.
If you need lightweight clothing in Thaialnd there are many tailors in Bangkok who will make it to measure with a large range of materials to choose from. There also quite a few shoemakers too.

Andrew: I well remember Tropicadilly, and after their closure I too bought my lightweight clothing at Baron's of Piccadilly, but sadly they also closed a couple of years ago. I guess the concept of smart, stylish tropical clothing has gone out of fashion.
