Thanks . I clicked on the link and they only showed Eva Air . So I went to the Thai Air web page direct and their cheapest on the dates shown came to GDP 1255 round trip . Eva were GDP 1337

But Corbyn will not go away . He is now an independent and will probably get re-elected at the general election and sit in the House of Commons where he will have his say and probably annoy Starmer . Revenge is sweet .

Had both eyes done for cataracts in the UK and was given eye drops as an anesthetic . But an injection into the eye would not be for me . Is that only done in Thailand ? Both my ops were done in private eye hospitals that treated only eyes . Including pre-op preparation , I was there both times for 3 hours and then on my way home in a taxi . There after , eye drops 3 times a day for 2 weeks and also a plastic eye patch that was worn at nights to stop any rubbing on the eye . Check up after 1 month . Thai guy in Bangkok had the cataract op and said he stayed in for one night and home the next day but had no eye drops . My local Thai government hospital does about 14 cataract operations a day , carried out by a lady eye surgeon . Free for Thai but farangs 25,000 baht per eye , including an overnight stay in a non V.I.P. room

K. Starmer has said that if Labour are elected they will retain the triple lock on UK State pensions and freeze the age of pension qualification at 66 years old . I for one would like to hear his reply , ( say on BBC Question Time ) , if asked if Labour would unfreeze pensions for those living abroad . At best I reckon it would be a political type reply without committal . The grey votes exceed 500,000 . so it is not to be sneered at .

https://frozenbritishpensions.org/jeremy-corbyn-gives-labours-backing-pension-unfreezing/ Will Labour honour the pledge of the link above , if they are elected ?

You are quoting agency prices . I will never buy from an agency having been ripped off once ( eventually recovered 1000 pounds ) . I buy direct with the airways . It maybe a bit pricier but it is far safer .

Thanks for the info . When you say the fridge , will that be cold enough or what about a chest freezer ?

The local ISP 3BB say they have a problem . Thanks for your help

Sounds good . What brand of evoo and where to buy it please .

Just moved the Wizz TV box to another room with a different Ethernet cable and the service is working . However the Internet speeds are not good and I could not get Ookla or Race Speed tests to connect

This is strange . I have just done 4 speed tests with 3 companies and leaving my V.P.N. connected . test my.net Download = 59.5 upload 5.5 race Communications , Download = 148.8 Upload 71.4 Fast , Download = 190 Upload = 110 Ookla , Download = 172.48 , Upload 78 All tests at the same time , what a variance . I am with 3BB and they use Fast.com for speed tests .

Thanks , I did a couple of tests , one with my VPN and one without . Not much difference but upload very low at 2 and 5 MBPS the download was 96 MBPS . I will visit my internet company today . I am paying for a V.I.P. service which guarantees no less than 200 MBPS , no matter how busy the Internet traffic is . Any idea why the upload is so low ? Wizz have told me that there has been damage to some sub sea internet cables by sabotage but that does not account for my service working one day but not the next .

Anyone having connection issues with Wizz TV . Keeps asking me to login but will not accept my details . However it came on last night , after resetting the router , when I opened the app but it is down again today . Normally no problems and a good service . My speed test has dropped from 200 Mbps to 76

You seem well informed . Would you mind sharing with us , which make of olive oil do you use ?

Many thanks . Are you a regular user of this brand ? Your opinion would be welcome .

If only we could find authentic olive oil , avocado oil etc in Thailand and not the fake oil that adorns most super market shelves .

If only I knew where to buy real olive oil and not the fake type .

Let's face it , sometimes arriving 3 hours early is hardly enough . I always arrive early and wait for the check in desk to open , clear security and have a snack and a beer . Suvarnabhumi also often has the long queues at immigration to content with . Hope you have a good flight

I agree . Have you ever arrived at Heathrow and faced massive queues at immigration . 3 years ago there was a report of 7 hours to get through Heathrow immigration .

I suppose they are trying to catch the over stayers ? Immigration on arrival , yes but departures ? I don't recall other airports having departure immigration , do you ?

You must be there at an off peak time ? Very quick but how was the security check ? I to have no problem with the Bangkok airports too . Accept that they did away with the smoking room .

Me too

So you have a good reason for wheelchair us . I have a spinal problem and normally have a wheelchair but flying tiger did not mention a physical problem and there are sometimes able bodied people who blag it to get a wheelchair because they are too lazy . That sometimes results in there being a shortage of wheelchairs and in turn a long wait . No different than fit people parking in a disabled parking bay .

Do you need a wheelchair or are you lazy ?

Most of us are not able to afford business class but normally the economy class and that is where the problems are caused at Suvarnabhumi . Immigration queues are often long and not enough immigration officers . I ask myself this , would it be possible to have Thai immigration officers onboard the long haul flight to Bangkok , 11 hours or so , to carry out immigration checks which would then allow uninterrupted passage to the carousels or transport on arrival ? Did you know that there is a " Fast Track " system for both arrivals and departures in Suvarnabhumi . Basic walking through the fast track lane costs around $66 or with an electric buggy $140 . These prices are for travellers who want the visa on arrival . For local Thais it is $ 35 and $112 .
