Dave the pie man has definitely become one of Bangla Road's characters, along with 'wobbly coke man' and Granny with the chewing gum. I was in The Ship Wreck back in November with Saa (No.2 wife) when we were able to talk to her for a few minutes. It would appear that she is 83 years old. I have always bought a packet of gum for 20bht just for her self respect and I don't use the stuff.
Whatever her background, all BMs could respect her age and part with 20 bht when you see her.
