Well, well. 

Unless this is an elaborate hoax, Simon Patkin has a brother living in the New Territories who (1) has a blog, and (2) is (in his own words) a "40’s wannabe treehugger" with a keen interest in environmental issues.  Needless to say, he doesn’t agree with his brother on the merits of Lights Out.

I like to learn things from blogs, and I now know that there is a farmers market in Tai Po most Sundays.

    Yes, you guys are right! I am the younger brother. I run a recycling workshop in Fo Tan trying to make money from the rubbish created by greedy capitalists!!! http://www.again.hk I do have a sense of humour and I like jokes, however there is nothing funny about this situation…
    Come visit me at the Farmers’ Market any Sunday.

    have been prowling on your blog for a fair bit.
    now, out of personal need, here’s my first comment:
    My company needs a Blog writer to write for our boringly corporate blogsite. Any wordsmiths you know in town willing to peddle his craft for a few bucks?
    email me at bichishort@hotmail.com or just leave your reply here amongst the comments. thanks a ton, OG.

    You guys probably have more chance of convincing him. I can’t remember the last time we talked and I can’t remember the last time I saw him in the flesh.

    TH – I note from your blog that you are British-born. Is your esteemed sibling also British by birth?
