I'm sure I read somewhere that you shouldnt put a thai in the position of saying "No" and in turn, with a refusal by a BG for you to barfine her, using a lie, shes saving you and herself "face" in that situation?

Not a daft question Paul; I think the two concepts are very close to each other and, whilst I don't like the 'face' thing (please don't prove me a liar because I will be embarassed) I do understand it.
I never underestimate the power of the concept either; face is very, very important.
