How do you imprison a hospital?

No deal= dramatic fall in the £ possibly to $1. Exports plummet and the economy goes into recession. Many jobs are lost as companies pull out of UK or go bust.

A good deal = £ recovers a lot of it's lost ground. Exports resume and the economy recovers most of it's lost ground. Jobs are safe.

Remain = £ recovers most, if not all it's lost value. Exports continue as before and economy has potential to expand.

Brexiteers are either too stupid to realise this or have loads of dosh offshore in foreign currencies so stand to make a killing as the £ drops further.

This IS the fault of the EU. The reason I say this is because in the early days of negotiation, UK wanted to discuss a trade deal alongside the financial negotiation. The EU refused, stating that they would only talk about trade AFTER UK had agreed to part with billions of £s. If a trade deal had been agreed at that time, subject to satisfactory financial arrangements there would now be no need for an Irish backstop and the deal already negotiated would have been passed. Job done.

Guessing you'll find it's an intermediary bank charge. You'll also likely find HSBC can't or won't give you any information about what bank it was. I stopped using them around 2 years ago when they changed or lost their partnership arrangements here. As you say, their £4 transfer fees suddenly weren't anymore. That was when I was sending to Kasikorn.

On the 31st I tried a test transfer to Bangkok Bank of £50. Was quite pleased when the whole £50 turned up. Thought they'd maybe changed and had an arrangement now with Bangkok Bank such that they were no longer using an intermediary bank. Less pleased to read this. Makes me wonder if the whole £50 turning up was a fluke and that normally there'll be an Intermediary charge. It may be that your charge was a one off, especially as you've been using them up to now with no charges transferring to Bangkok Bank. I might try one more transaction later in the month, see if it gets hit. Don't plan to put HSBC back on the the list of options if they're regularly using an Intermediary bank still.
 

I think you might find that they use Barclays as intermediary. OFX use them but NOT as intermediary, their main account is with them so there are no charges.

Check out ofx.com I've used them for years with no problems. No commission, no charges BUT they transfer THB so the exchange rate is not quite as good as you can get here but not far off.

No, they are ordered years before at set prices

I don't think that applies with food items. Farmers cannot guarantee availability that far ahead.

Wages are not the same now as last year. And the items may have been bought 2 years ago.

Notwithstanding "Best before" dates, "Sell by" dates?

I have problems when using Chrome or Firefox. However, with Internet Explorer ( which was initially the only one which worked) all works fine.

Aussies and Poms.

Aussies are the original Poms (Prisoners of His Majesty).

 “stable in the past five years”   but remains at an unhealthy high level which has not been reduced.

So, if somebody who hasn't lived with a smoker develops asthma,lung cancer etc, can they sue the government for the filthy polluted air which caused it?

and at what cost? It's easy to meet targets like this if you don't care how much the consumer has to pay, also pay odious amounts of cash to the senior managers of utility companies and destroy the natural environment with millions of ugly wind generators that do bugger all when the wind doesn't blow.   Meanwhile, India, China and the US continue to pollute the earth with impunity, while good old tiny UK lead the field. No well done from me, more like 'get real folks and let everyone else do their bit first'.  

Sounds like ignorant jealousy. Clean energy is much cheaper to produce and is kind to the environment. 3% of UK energy now produced from polluting coal. Asia please take note,

Hate to break it to you guys, but they have gone. Highly unlikely they left a copy of their ID behind for you to find, or coming back for an encore.

Given that pretty much every massage shop across the country offers "extras" not really sure what all the fuss is about, apart from "image" which is a waste of time. Everyone knows what such places are about, so pretending otherwise is somewhat futile, especially since publicising the video only exacerbates the matter.

Clearly a job reserved for Thais.

Thais are sadly incredibly insecure. If they feel they have lost face, even to a minuscule extent, they’ll push to have you gaoled.

2000 baht. In the video which, I'll admit is not conclusive, it looked like only a single banknote.

Hmmm, would this mean the removal of the 100% import tax on lots of goods?

Airbus build spec and materials superior to Boeing.

So, why are prices of imported goods not falling?

Cost of leaving the EUSSR - priceless. As for the 6 million signatures ha ha, most were signed by cyberbots or people outside the UK.

Leavers made this claim which has been proven untrue, like their claims pre 2016 referendum. Read the UK press and the government's own website.
