@Victor-Meldrew I had PoA over an old guy some years back and at one time the police had picked him up on his mobility thing tootling along the A30 Dual Carriageway on his way to buy a dog...

Yeah, that can be sad.
On the other hand, was once walking to a client down a steep-ish hill and found a seriously huge, fat, obese bloke (think 30-40 stone) had fallen off his mobility scooter and was being picked up by three police officers.
Fuck, it was funny to watch.

@voodoo yeah, fair cop.
I'm kinda still in the phase of settling in.
To be fair, I'm drunk because I've been at 3 craft breweries this evening.
And already have 1 of those nodding at me when I enter, and several other "dive bars" greeting me by name.Is that a world record for establishing oneself as a local?
I'd like to think so, but in seppo-land, with the whole "tipping culture" - I suspect it's a lot easier.
And the whole "sitting at the bar" thing.
One of the bars I refer to - greeted me by name on my third visit. And those visits were spread over a couple of weeks.Were you waiting at the door for opening time?

Not on that occasion, but I have done that. I've got a photo somewhere of the expression on the bar-owner's face as he turned up to open his bar in Quito, and I'm sitting on the step waiting for him.
I shouldn't confirm nor deny whether "Bolivian marching powder" could have been a factor. -
