I was 13 or 14 when I had those - which was considerably more than a decade ago!
Also they weren't "Engineer boots", they were platform shoes, made from real plastic - and you forgot the trousers were purple corduroy.
And finally, I was in Nice Boys in 2016

I'm sure he has, paborn; unfortunately his edition still says the Earth is flat.

' made from real plastic '
What is synthetic plastic made from then?

' Also. this remark "Most Americans seem to prefer the PI scene - which can be done in one leg from the west coast at least.."
I love the way some people use "most" or "seem" in place of any fact - it is 3,000 miles from NYC to LA - "most" at least from the west coast. God, such pure drivel. By the way , what the hell " PI" anyway. '
Excuse me, but YOU were the one who threw a hissy fit without thinking first, and I did no more than politely put you in your place.
Look at Pattaya - American headcount 5% at best - look at Angeles - American headcount around 50% if not more..
Bit of a no brainer where you guys like to party - No?

There is no point in even discusiing most of this as your ignorance is quite clear. Just one thing - ( I now realize you are discssing the Phillipines ) although the US has returned soverignity of military bases to the PI government - Americans remain in vast numbers accross no less than 5 huge bases. Tourists???? The number one country of arrivals to PI is South Korea, second China . I try to be polite so this ends here - change your name from Old Git to Dim wit.
Re: A new travel option for UK members?
Besides, my post concerning your remark had NOTHING to do with amounts of tourism it was in answer to your assertion that one could just pay a bit more for a direct flight. I do , however, agree with one of your remarks - yes, what you say does, indeed, have no need for a brain.

When I was flying West Coast - Bangkok it was always a one-leg flight, with the break in Tokyo. I was tempted when I worked in Texas to use Continental's Dallas - Tokyo. United flies direct from Chicago to Tokyo. Everywhere from North America to Bangkok is "one-leg" except when Thai flew direct from LA
