    He learn,t a valuable lesson if u buy lady drinks and refuse to pay you know what will happen next time

    We don't know the full story? Was he charged for 6 lady drinks when he thouht he had only bouht one?

     

    Were there 'depth-charges' in his check-bin?

    Many on here are jumping to the conclusion that he was in the wrong, very many years in Thailand tells me that this might not necessarily be the case. We are only getting one side of the story here, that of the bargirls.

    Also the UK laws adequately laws to protect every citizens human rights who needs another country or conglomerate of countries telling you what is right or wrong, that is the reason long term Brexit was a good idea - screwed the pound up in the short term but no pain no gain!

    Unfortunately I have been living back in the UK since 2018. Brexit in 2020 made no difference to my life at all, there has been no change in my everyday life.

    Although I do hear business people who import/export to the EU saying it's a major pain.

    The ECHR was passed into British law. But it isn't just about immigration, the Good Friday Agreement is dependent upon Britain being signed-up to it.

    Think that is called denial, obfuscation and whataboutery.

     

    Supermarkets were claiming the official population figures were utter garbage at least 15 years ago.

    Was it Tesco that estimated Britain's population to be around 80 million rather than the official figure of 67 million?

    Also, if illegals aren't counted in the official numbers, it puts London's population at close to 10 million rather than close to 9 million.

    Not to mention the sizeable contingent from the CIA, and several dozen Navy Seals.

     

    Sadly there is almost no representation from the 43rd Water Bottle Cork Repair Workshop, a little known logistical unit which served gloriously. They spent lots of time in 'Nam, Cheltenham!

    A guy was once overheard saying that the unit that he was a member of was so secret that even the government didn't know that it existed!😁

  6. I'm from Hereford born & bred, but often feel like saying that I'm from Gloucester instead. Why? Because if you say you're from there, or mention the place, you could get all the SAS blah blah blah BS.

    I've never claimed to even have been in the army, but have known quite a lot of of SAS or ex-SAS guys, my sister nearly married one, back in the late 70's, he always carried a pager device.

  7. I lived in Thailand for 20 years, but I returned to the UK at 53 mainly because I didn't want to run out of money in Thailand.

     

    Over the years I had quite a few older-than-me retiree-friends who returned to their home countries, whether it was UK, Aus or USA. The one common reason (or it was a factor)? Healthcare issues.
