Traditionally, women in Laos and Thailand wear the sinh. While it has become a piece of clothing mainly worn at official and special occasions in Thailand, the sinh remains more of an everyday garment for present-day Laotian women. Nevertheless, one might rather see young Laotian women wearing the traditional skirt in rural areas than in the urban centres. Also, combining it with a Western-style shirt is more common than wearing the entire traditional outfit with a special blouse. The latter is regarded as very traditional and remains for official and special occasions.
Traditionally, the fabric of the skirt is either made of silk or cotton or a combination of both and woven on a loom by the wearer herself. Although mass-production and synthetic fibres have found their way into the market, it is still common for Laotian girls and women, especially in rural areas, to weave their sinhs themselves or at least add their own twist by embroidering certain patterns and motifs onto the fabrics. The designs and patterns of the skirt distinguish various ethnic groups. A handmade sinh can therefore identify its wearer in different ways, especially regarding her regional background as well as her belonging to and identification with a specific ethnic group.

One can never see enough Traders and these look like a proper fleet like many operators started out with in the 50s and 60s and this fine trio belongs to McGoverns
Another Trader Horn in Butler. This one is in an area called Nixon. Oddly enough, the other Butler Trader Horn was just a few miles from here. This was previousy a "Warehouse Sales" (predecessor to Trader Horn) store. This Trader Horn closed in May 2016

Pictured outside Ken Appleyards Truck breakers at Leeds in the mid 90s, he passed away after buying this last lot in and the Trader was still around many years later until it fell apart, the Miles Seddon Pennine chassied Van was chopped in just a few weeks.
This long wheelbase New Zealand-assembled Ford Thames Trader 75 diesel was advertised for sale late in 2019 on the Trademe website. Whilst it was a fair distance away from home, I had to go check it out, so a friend and I made the journey up west side of the Coromandel Peninsula to the owner's farm .
The lorry had been with the same family for many years and whilst it had not been used in anger for some time it had been regularly started. Whilst a little rough around the edges it was in very original condition with little rust and ran well. I had a test drive and found it to be typically a British lorry that really needed another gear! It was comfortable at about 40 MPH.
Because of the distance from home and the fact that the lorry had not seen a WoF inspector for years, meant transportation/towing would be required. Realism set-in and I decided that this cost would exceed the Trader's worth (to me) AND I already have a Trader 55 tipper that has been waiting for attention for 5 years(!), so I left without making a purchase. It remained unsold, but it eventually did sell from a subsequent listing on Trademe, for a figure close to my own valuation.
A missed opportunity?.......maybe so, but interesting vehicles often turn up when you can least afford them!
I'm confident it went to a good home and that it will make it to the show circuit in due course.
Seen in the Fort Pitt Museum, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Shot it at Puskar, it's just 11 km. from Ajmer(RAJASTAN,INDIA) comes alive during Puskar Fair, when people from all over Rajasthan converge at Pushkar with their cattle stock. Pushkar Fair is regarded as one of the largest camel festivals in the world. Celebrated in the month of October-November, Pushkar Fair attracts domestic as well as foreign tourist to Pushkar in Rajasthan.
Pushkar festival is not about camels only but it is also about horses, cows, goats, sheep and most importantly about the lively people of Rajasthan, who come to the Pushkar fair in their best attires. The festival looks like a riot of colors with men wearing colourful turbans and women in pleated ghagaras (ankle-length skirts) of different hues. The festival offers a wonderful opportunity to see the people selling and buying camels, goats, horses etc. Bargaining, negotiations and transactions remain order of the days during the festival.
Sporting events are other attractions of the Pushkar Fair. One can enjoy the camel and horse races during the festival. Camel beauty contest is another highlight of the festival. The beautifully decked up camels are paraded and then the most beautiful camel is selected.
Pushkar is a religious town and is one of the important pilgrimage centers of Hindus. Pushkar is known for the holy Pushkar Lake and the many temples that dot the area. Puskar is associated with lord Brahma and is the only place in India, which has a temple dedicated to lord Brahma.

A camel trader at Pushkar camel fair looks disapprovingly at the bargain going on in the neighbouring tent. Early mornings and evenings are the busiest time at the fair, where annually more than a hundred thousand camels and equal number of other cattle change hands. Morning is occuppied by cleaning, cooking, grooming and preparing the camel. Bidding activities start early and goes on till sunset. The fair ground gets busy once again, cooking, cleaning, gossiping and preparing for the night, spent in the open, not always under even a tent.
Ive posted this for my flickr friend 'Ekawrecker' and is from the Film 'All neat in black stockings' and is not as sexy as the title suggests!
But there are lots of street scenes and a very long shot of this Trader coming out of the side road on the left and driving past the camera and you get the full six cylinder sound with hydrovac too!
Its cuts off before the FFK comes into full view though..
Not much of a story but its about a ginger chap who likes women and drives a Ford Prefect van!

We travelled from Luxor to Aswan on a Cruise Boat. In fact we cruised for 4 days and nights stopping along the way to visit some interesting places. During our trips we have to navigate through 2 locks as the water levels were different. During one of our stops at the lock, we were mobbed by these river traders. There were literally dozens of them. We were on the top most deck 4 storey above th waterline (where the swimming pool were) having afternoon tea while enjoying the views... they threw their wares wrapped in plastic bags to us for us to inspect and buy if we want to or throw back to them 4 storey down similarly wrapped. It was funny to see some of the wares being thrown back floating away in the Nile.
This store was built in 1970 as a Fisher's Big Wheel location then later became a Trader Horn store. Trader Horn closed their last seven locations in May 2016. Here are pictures from before the store liquidated.

A very hastily taken and, therefore, slightly blurred photo of a well-worked Thames Trader mixer, taken in Tower Road on the coast between Sliema and St. Julians in 1989. She belonged to Formosa Construction from San Gwann and when I next encountered her in September 1993, she had been taken-off the road and was laid-up in their yard. Today the villas in the background have been replaced by modern developments.
This store was originally a Gaylords store. It was apparently later a Grants store. This store was last a Trader Horn until the chain closed in May 2016.

Safely stashed-away in an open fronted shed in New Zealand's thinly populated Northland region, this lightweight 4-cylinder diesel-powered Thames Trader contemplates its future.
The Thames Trader was assembled in Lower Hutt near Wellington from kits imported from the UK and was a popular truck in its time. There are a good number of survivors here but not too many "on the road" currently.
