Except I’m SA one guy will pick all the fruit, then sell them on the street corner.

 

True. I passed a guy on Boyes drive who has effectively dammed one of the mountain streams and is filling 50l Bottles with water which he then loads onto a bakkie which his driver then takes away for sale. 

No water makes it down past him.

I suppose everyone has to make an extra buck here and there. It's like the okes at the robots trying to sell Avo's - they probably picked those avo's off someone's avo tree, but I assume they're out of work or need extra dosh to survive.

Same thing happened in Spain: There are lots of Sour Orange trees the streets of Saville. Some Spaniards picked it and sold it in England where the buyers made marmalade (according to my Spanish citrus farming friends).

is he:

a)a coloured kid from Cape Flats

b)a white kid from East Rand

c)a black kid for Joburg

d)an indian kid from Durbs

 

 

first paragraph rules out pretty much all of those options

 

 

A 16-year-old boy was arrested by the Gauteng traffic police on Tuesday for driving at 168km/h in a 60km/h zone.

if the streets are lined with free fruit trees, then there would be no market to sell to

I meant without reading the article!!

it doesn't matter...but people who fool around in cars and get caught need to be laughed at.

Agreed, i was caught once when i was young and stupid, except i was caught by a tree and a written off car...

so here's the headline:

.............

Reminded me of yonkers in the little town where I grew up.

 

One morning the (just about crime free) town woke up and found that nearly every car that wasn't parked in a garage, had one or several of its' tyres slashed with a knife. Altogether something like 20 cars. Moerse gemors!

 

Of course rumours flew thick and fast, most of it blaming delinquents from the "onderdorp" (wrong side of the railway tracks in city terms).

 

A week or so later the culprit was found to be the NG dominees' son! Yes! Little angel from the front church benches himself!

So which one are you?

 

Seeing as you think it's acceptable to stereotype and point fingers and laugh at other people.

 

Just take a moment, and think of what you are busy with here...(here's a tip - think Penny Sparrow, Vicky Momberg etc. etc.)

none of the above, and this is miles from penny sparrow.

Taking dad's car for a joyride is a well trodden path.

Getting caught is embarrassing.

 

now poking fun at who does this is not that offsides.
