I thought that with people always stuffing things around the laptop case which is a soft case, there could have been problems.
-
What about the 12 kg on your carry on which is allowed on KLM? Surely that would need wheels even for a fit 6ft 76kg guy like me.
-
I don't think anyone with any sense would put a laptop in the overhead locker even if it's in a case. I would always want my laptop in my case except when I was using it.
-
I always thought that the top lockers were for carry on cases, not for all the other delicate things like bags of doughnuts etc. On my last flight there was no room for my case so one of the cabin crew took my case away and I had to go looking for it when the plane landed.

I just followed behind an ambulance with flashing lights navigating three new speedbumps on a road on the outskirts of my village. it must have been held up a few mins between the first and last speed bumps. Surely that's eventually going to cost lives.

Frozen pension policy turns British expat's dream into a nightmare

That is true, but what if he did not pay it? I would not have. -

But does it say what country you are going to? -

These websites contradict each other you do not know who or what to believe. The DWP says, and it is there in black and white, and I am not going to look it up again, that they cannot take any debt owed to them from the UK state pension. Then another person shows a link (not sure where its from) saying that they can deduct any debt owed from the UK state pension. -

I also moved to Thailand in 2005 and never knew about the frozen annual OAP increases. It is not a thing you think about, if you read or heard about it while still living in the UK you would not believe it despite knowing what liars and hypocrites UK governments are. -

Get what facts right? I agree with you, but I would be trying to find a way around paying so much tax, It's ridiculous. -

I don't believe that Trans, I think there are things you have not been told. No one can take 1000 Quid from your state pension, as myself and others have said. -

So is mine. If you have been in the same job all your working life, even working for different companies, you could easily end up with about 12000 GBP a year state pension. -

No one can take any money of your state pension. See the DWP website. -

I think there is a lot more to this than what's been said. -

Even with a stinking rich multimillionaire "Sir" as a First Minister?? Dream on. He will be too busy looking after his own. -

Yes two weeks out of the full year if you are lucky. -

If he moved back to the UK he would soon lose out by having to pay extortionate power bills. Or he could stop eating or even end up being one of the thousands of old folk who die from cold related illnesses every winter. -

If they are living solely on a UK pension ask them what would have happened if they refused to pay any money back. They cannot take any money from their state pension. -

No one has been prosecuted yet for living abroad and "fraudulently" claiming the annual OAP increases. -

"Surely finding a Philippine address can't be that difficult." It would need to be a real one for the DWP to send the Proof of Life forms. -

"There isn't the money to pay for overseas pensioners". Really!! There seems to be enough to pay for all these immigrants, legal and illegal, MP's "expenses" etc,etc,etc. -
That was my first thought but Mrs Jones says nowhere to get that in village.
-
In a village?? Good idea in a large town or city.

It is a small clinic with a green cross in the main side street of my small town/village staffed by a doctor and two female assistants, one is I think a nurse and the other at the front desk. Any signs are in Thai.
