+1 The evidence (or lack of contrary evidence) suggests that you are right.

If you bothered to read the thread you would know . That would have avoided you looking stupid

It is called a Life Certificate and virtually anyone can certify it. It doesn't need to be a 'professional' and they don't need a stamp. You have 16 weeks from the date of issue. If the pension payment is not received (for any reason) call the International Pension Centre on https://www.gov.uk/international-pension-centre

You didn't read the thread then?

Thailand

Would you comment on the suitability of the proposed treatment?

I agree that you can't just isolate smart phones in an age of significant technological development. An intransigent, Luddite approach to technology developments is as bad as the blatant misuse of smart phones. The difference is that if the Luddites want to sit at home, not travel, and barter for their purchases, they are not going to have an impact on culture or society. They are harmless. Saying that you have an ATM card so you don't need a smart phone is ignoring the fact that technology brought about ATMs and plastic cards. Technology introduced cash. The big difference with technology is it's misuse. A smart phone can be a useful tool in daily life but the cultural impact through social media has been a disaster. There is a thread running about the Thai smile - IMO smart phones have been responsible for it's decline. Pattaya bars are as good an example as you need....attention diverted from providing an attentive service where the girls would rather spend time on their phones than interact with customers. Any technological development is great in the right hands....take the simple Thai digging tool, the "jorb" ..... an essential building/gardening tool that makes life easier, but misused it can be a deadly murder weapon.

Oh, a slight note of envy in that comment perhaps.

Was there a query? I think that you meant to say "They are not payable when residing outside the U.K. EXCEPT certain countries with which the U.K. government has reciprocal social security agreements (notably the E.U., the U.S. and Turkey; and, in S.E. Asia, the Philippines).

Your post received 3 'thumbs down'.......surely o God he cannot have two more aliases.

Correct. Everybody pays in some shape or form. We just pay less in Thailand.

They also provide these details under 'call history ':-

Given that I have seen the plastic bags full of cash being passed over at Jomtien, I would also say that it entails no risk.

Movie

I would largely agree except that I have had better steaks from Friendship than Makro, and cheaper liquor from Best. But, overall, Friendship would be my go to store.

Everything seems to need a label these days. I share Thailand's protectionist views but if I expressed them in the UK I am sure that I would be labelled racist.

...... and that is your investment rationale for buying now ?

Emergency

As I said, pointless then.

No. That is nonsense thanks.

It used to close when the princess went shopping...................I doubt that she needs all day though.
