Now i'm shortly gonna need my house exterior painted, its the Thai traditional rendered walls. I'm no painter/Dec and never do myself so i have no experience. When painting should a primer/undercoat be first applied then 1 or 2 coats of top coat ? I previously have had done by way of a recco from friends but i'm not convinced the correct process is followed as i'm seeing signs of wear ie not enough paint being applied. Many thanks guys for any help.

Thanks, my reason for asking is i intend using Wise as my bank account if HSBC ever dump me so i need to be well informed of any issues.

Now would you mind explaining that to me ?

I've never thought of that, what a great idea, thanks.

I sincerely hope that is the case, i have three pensions paid into my account every month totaling a sizeable amount (i dare not state the amount as it seems to upset ONE BM lmao)

BINGO

Now that is great news and i would dearly like to inform HSBC of my residency in Thailand but i just fear that they would close my account. Its a PITA when my cards are up for renewal and my son has to send out to me and then because of the postal delay they are harassing me to validate them. I am aware of the fact if you don't use the CC a couple of times a year they will eventually cancel because of lack of use so i oblige by buying stuff online. I've a good mind to call them and ask what their policy is with long standing account holders living in Thailand not complying with their UK residents only policy but of course not disclosing my name lol

They don't give a FF about being fair to us but they're quite happy to take my 10K a year income tax !!!!

I cannot believe that there is no tie up between the HMRC and the DWP over what state pensioners are receiving. I too get notice of codings every year by accessing the government gateway and sure enough they ALWAYS show i'm receiving a higher state pension than i am. I'm not receiving the annual increases as i'm resident in Thailand and they both know this as my address is on their records. Beggars belief the ineptitude of these two ???????

Different issue, what happened with Farage was downright wrong and they have paid the price for it. Banks stipulating that you have to be a UK resident is surely there perogative, i can understand why they have that rule, think credit cards/overdrafts.

Stupid law imo

Agreed there is no law but can banks not make there own T&C as they see fit ?

Well i have to say i've been taking the tabs for approx 1 week in different time scales and the reality is i've not noticed ANY difference in my sleep duration. In fact one night i forgot to take the tabs and slept for 5 hours, my best night ever for over 3 years lol

I'd like to agree with you but the issues are entirely different imo.

Tell ya what guys i've had a HSBC account in the UK whilst living in Thailand for 17 years. I've never told them about my residency in Thailand for fear of them closing the account but i've also got a credit card with a 5K limit and an overdraft facility of 15K. Now if they knew of my Thai residency would they not cancel both these arrangements for obvious reasons ?

OP, i had exactly the same problem. Nowhere does it say they only want the last three digits. I had to visit my BB local branch. Why oh why we are not made aware of this requirement is beyond me but hey TIT lol

Having watched the vid now i would imagine that he would be charged with a much less serious charge as the damage done is quite insignificant.

Thanks for your confirmatory post, and i am a retired UK magistrate. Yes indeed it might get diluted at the courts but certainly not ime to ''common assault or battery''

Now would that be a 12 volt or 6 volt ? A punch to the face would typically be charge as single-blow GBH. See the graphic above to find out where this sits on the scale of severity across all types of assault offences.Jun 4, 2562 BE

and so are me and mine lol

I believe it was that little rat George Osborne who initiated the change of the state pension from an entitlement to a benefit.

Time to use my VPN then.

I believe thats GBH in the UK, a very serious offence. 1000bht fine is a massive joke but TIT lol

Good post which i agree with in its entirety. I do just as you advise i say NO, having done ALL the the attractions i've ever been interested in when i was visiting as a tourist and was'nt aware of their racist practices (i now live here with my Thai wifey and have done for nearly 17 years) I found these attractions to be pretty crap tbh so a revisit is never on the cards, they can stick them where the sun does'nt shine. I think the next time i'm back in the UK i'll suggest to the authorities that they charge ALL THAI NATIONALS (not wifey of course as she's married to a British national) for enjoying the beauty of the New Forest which was on my doorstep when i lived there.

Yep i had to show them proof of my income by way of my private pension payslips.
