  1. If you are from the UK and have access to the government web service you can download a National Insurance number letter. This worked for me.
  2. I have had mine with Krungsri for a number of years and cannot touch the account that backs it. It is linked to Homepro so was good when setting up the house, select offers (fee fwn with washing machine) and a discount at the tills.
  3. It is good that they publish the info and let the public decide what to do with it. If they said nothing another group would be getting their knickers twisted about the secrecy. Covid got me thinking about hygene and now carry sanitizer to spritz the hands when I feel like it. I have noticed that hand washing after going to the toilet is now at pre-covid levels. I assume that those in fast food uniforms that do not have a hand cleaning procedure that thay have to do when they return to work.
  4. The head line and picture references streetfood but the article is all about the big chains (KFC, The Coffee Ckub etc). They must be worried after flooding the market with outlets when people are feeling the pinch.
  5. England has always been a brutal place for most of its populace with the exception of the post-war period ending sometime in the 1970s. Can anyone else think of a golden age? The Victorians despite incredible progress most peoples life was a grind (slum conditions, gin alley). People going on about the Irish & Jews and longing for Georgian times. The inter-war years when the promise of a better life was soon forgotten. People still going on about the Jews & Irish and thinking about Edwardian times. Since the 1970s we in the west have grabbed as much as we can for ourselves. With some being a lot better at it than others. We then tell those that have not done well that even though your share of the pie is less than before you have to share it with more people.
  6. Try Hargreaves Lansdowne they may allow you to transfer your pension pot into a SIPP. You will need to jump through a few hoops to proved identity. Charges on a SIPP are capped at £16.99 a month.
  7. Did you mean '11 Trump hatted nutter'?
  8. The truth is worse, Thailand is just not that important to the USA.
  9. They need to complete the submarine deal otherwise the money spent on the submarine uniform patches will hwve been wasted.
  10. Should be fun, SIM in Mrs name, the bank uses christian name and surname for savings accounts, christian name and middle name for credit card.
  11. Hit the Talat Thai fish market yesterday as do not plan to go out this weekend due to polution and traffic (events at Thammasat University and Dhamakaya). Yesterday fish (Snapper), chips and mushy peas, today baked Black Pomfret, potato salad and a green salad. Steer clear of Talat Thai this week traffic only gets worse in the run up to Chinese new year.
  12. So with the Chinese population 4X that of the USA if they increase per capita CO2 emissions to that of the USA they will be over 50% of world emissions.
  13. In the UK you can join any organiaation/religion/club you like and chose to follow their rukes/law, provided they do not break UK law. Sharia courts are no different to the long established Jewish courts that deal with mainly family matters. If you do not want to be bound by its decision you do not need to be.
  14. Many organisations have similar bodies to handle civil matters between their members. Members agree to abide by the decisions being made, they are not enforcable in UK law, unless covered by a contract. Besides Moslems, some Jewish and Chritian organisations have similar 'Courts'. Also do not forget Masonic organisations and golf clubs.
  15. Flaunting it is very big here, even if you have not got it. The new car kept on a red number plate for months. The multiple gold chains with designer bags and top of the range phones. Debt keeps the merry-go-round turning. Currently flaunting it in Starbucks Reserve @ OneSiam with coffee and a egg butty.
