    Your correct in thinking that thick in this saying is not "stupid, portly, etc...". I think "thick" in this context is referring to the other meanings where it is implying that there is a lot between them and implies the closeness. There is also a lot of history behind thick being used. But in the saying thick as thieves "thick" implies the closeness between the two and "thieves" that they tend to get up to mischief together.

    Hello,  


    I would like to talk to you about my travels. Firstly I'm living in Algeria (Eastern fringe) and I'm studying in the Western fringe. The university is so far from my town that it takes a long time to arrive at the university. Sometimes it's more than fifteen hours! I travel by bus as we don't have a train in our region. If I am asked about travelling by plane, I will answer it's too expensive for me. This is my life of travelling.

    Usually you want a sentence to have no more than 2 commas. Otherwise the sentence gets too long. (Exception being lists) If you speak the sentence out loud, note where you naturally want to pause for breath. This is the use of commas. For long pauses it would be a full stop. There is more complexity and rules than this for the use of commas, but as getting a basic grasp, you should see improvement in your punctuation. Second, she explained that although it took ten minutes for wood to catch fire, there are sticky substances in on ships named pitch, which catch fire in seconds. In order to reduce the commas I would get rid of Second and start with "She then explained that".

    What is the minimum quantity of this product that could be delivered within 3 weeks? With starting with "Could" the answer would be yes. Not the answer that you are looking for to the question you want to ask. I hope this helps with your learning.
