This topic title (and some comment) is misleading. You DO NOT have to do a TM30 if returning to your registered address from out of province/country.

In my case my partner will get 50%, less 5 percentage points for our age difference of 19 years. She will still get 45% of a tidy monthly sum. In fact she will be a lot better off when I an dead............................I don't intend making her aware of that! ????

Sounds like you know an awful lot........

I think you probably mean Isan Lawyers, based in Korat. I used the 15 years when it was owned by Sebastian.

... or superficiary...

To be fair Thai wives never got anything from Their husband's state pension......they did get bereavement benefits - but they stopped (unless they are resident in the UK). Occupational pensions are different and there is invariably a widow's benefit attached. I have nominated my GF to receive a widow's pension when I have gone. I suggest that you contact the NHS pension trustees to nominate your missus - you won't have a clue hat to do when you are brown bread.

Far too subtle. There are none so blind as those who do not want to hear.

There is no place for mannow in a decent gin and tonic. Get lemon or don't bother at ll.

Wot! The girls are honest in Shepton Mallet?

Sounds like the war on drugs........................only less brutal.

If he is your mate, and from down the pub, he will probably fail the “persons of good standing in their community” criteria...????

A Thai has no idea what they are signing ???? (many police, bank staff and Immigration have refused to sign). They are eligible though (see above)

Someone in a recognised profession* can witness your ‘LIFE CERTIFICATE’ if you’re claiming State Pension abroad. They do not need to live in the UK, or have a British passport. Please note that Consular Officials at your local Embassy are no longer supposed to act as witnesses for this purpose. Examples of people working in (or being retired from) recognised professions resp “persons of good standing in their community” are:  accountant  airline pilot  articled clerk of a limited company  assurance agent of recognised company  bank/building society official  barrister  chairman/director of limited company  chiropodist  commissioner of oaths  councillor (local or county)  civil servant (permanent), but not someone who works for Her Majesty’s Passport Office  dentist  director/manager of a VAT-registered charity  director/manager/personnel officer of a VAT-registered company  engineer (with professional qualifications)  financial services intermediary (eg a stockbroker or insurance broker)  fire service official  funeral director  insurance agent (full time) of a recognised company  journalist  Justice of the Peace  legal secretary (fellow or associate member of the Institute of Legal Secretaries and PAs)  licensee of public house  local government officer  manager/personnel officer (of a limited company)  member, associate or fellow of a professional body  Member of Parliament  Merchant Navy officer  minister of a recognised religion (including Christian Science)  nurse (RGN and RMN)  officer of the armed services  optician  paralegal (certified paralegal, qualified paralegal or associate member of the Institute of Paralegals)  person with honours (an OBE or MBE, for example)  pharmacist  photographer (professional)  police officer  Post Office official  president/secretary of a recognised organisation  Salvation Army officer  social worker  solicitor  surveyor  teacher, lecturer  trade union officer  travel agent (qualified)  valuer or auctioneer (fellows and associate members of the incorporated society)  Warrant Officers and Chief Petty Officers https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/814507/5_Life_Certificate_Witness_Options.pdf

Unnecessary Bill. Certainly anyone who can countersign a British passport can sign a DWP life certificate; I believe it has been downgraded further to:- Who can sign your Life CertificateYour countersignatory must:have known you for at least 2 years for example they’re a friend, neighbour or colleague (not just someone who knows you professionally) be ‘a person of good standing in their community’ or work in (or be retired from) a recognised professionNo need to have a stamp.

Oh please.....

It's not about standards... I imagine that yours could be easily topped Culture and 'the time' provide context for me. Warren Mitchell, the Comedians (in general), Churchill (obviously not a comedian) , Frank Carson, Jim Davidson et al .....none would be acceptable today.

Watching bitter idiots keep squirming is thriving enough for me.

Gets my vote as well. Stayed there 4 times.

YAWN!

No

Typical of the period, and class. I can't believe that you are someone who wants to see someone hanged for cmments made half a century ago.......................

Another who has yet to get over the result of the vote......and himself.

Thriving is about more than just the economy. Anyway.......the Leave vote won, get over it.

No.....the big red bus said "Let's fund the NHS instead"

Everyone voting "leave" knew that there would be a negative affect on the UK economy........that isn't rocket-science.
