t_coffee..

you are and that's a compliment..

i've been reading your post and replies and i know your one of the known QL member if not one of the mods..

how would i put it..

let me try this one..

before: pork and alcohol not allowed in qatar.
at present: pork and alcohol are sold in QDC.

before: qatar is very strict on the said issue..

using logic and proportioning..
*** if pork and alcohol that is not allowed in qatar
before are being sold in QDC*** then maybe, i
said "maybe" i can equate that (if i may):
at present: qatar is not that strict as before on
this matter..

i hope this would help..
