was first "advertised" on here by myself back in either 1997 or 1998,I think it was sept/oct 1997.It was after the military had pulled out of organising a lot of the beach sellers (read selling them a licence)and the local banjar had taken over.Originaly s/s had been in front of the legian beach hotel boardwalk and when the military had pulled out sammie was not working due to him having had a motorbike accident and the banjar would not allow people who lived outside legian to have a licence and when alternate arrangements were made they would not let susie have a drinks licence (it is not a job for women)and she ended up with a licence to sell"jewelry".
Sammie,once he was fit managed to get a licence off the next banjar down,he was roughly outside the southern cross restaurant and wasnt doing very well and somehow he managed to get a licence from the banjar they are with now and the only position he could get was where they currently are and so I started to arrange with different people who posted on here that I would meet them at s/s and it took off from there to being as well known as it is now.Obviously I still go there most evenings when I am in bali,but someone has to look after my little brother lol.
