Had a power cut last night just after I went to bed. Switched the aircon CB off just in case of a spike or similar when the power comes back on. When the power came back I switched the aircon CB on and could hear a sizzling sound. Decided it was best to leave it off and check things in the morning. Took the CB out this morning in order to show the shop what I wanted (not helped by the contractor leaving no spare wire length) and got a new one. Decided to take the old one apart just out of interest. Couldn't believe the amount of crud in it. Pic of CB and the extra crud that fell in the sink as it came apart.

Mine do and were accepted as proof of address for UK passport renewal. Colour copy required but I just gave them the original.

I recall it as I arrived on 31 Dec 2013. That was the last normal cool season. Since then all the cool seasons have been unusually warm. Rare for the minimum temp to drop below 20C for more than a day or two. Ruins the fruit production on my marian plum trees.

I bought a carton of duty free cigarettes in Heathrow duty free for an extortionate price only to find there was no smoking anywhere in the terminal. The cigarettes were half the price in Bahrain airport duty free.

More like the life of Walter Mitty.

A lot of dashcams have a motion detection mode to record when the car is parked. You can buy hardwire kits for them to use the car battery for power as the camera battery won't last long in that mode.

He seems to be concerned that UK authorities may notice he is not resident in the UK. If he is claiming he is UK resident for some reason then he may have an issue if Thailand are showing him as tax resident here.

Does anyone know why the price difference between 91 and 95 seems to be increasing? Seem to recall it used to cost about half a baht more for 95, now it is almost two baht more.

If you are spending more than 180 days in Thailand you are more likely to have a problem when Thailand starts sharing your tax information with the UK next year.

My local observation it that the ones that could afford more don't have more and the ones that can't afford more keep having more.

Put Phanoen Thung into a YouTube search.

It can be that quick but the last envelope I sent to UK using Thai registered post, about six weeks ago, spent 12 days in customs at Heathrow according to the tracking. The letter previous to that had no tracking information updates after leaving Thailand until delivery 21 days after posting. If you want guaranteed speed best to use a courier service.

Not too many surprises in the list. Singapore and Malaysia were both British colonies. Philippines had a significant American presence. Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia also had years of foreign influence. I'm sure the education system has it's place in the poor rating but is far from the only cause.

Agree with LS24, 1.3Mb failed with error code 200.

Trying 1.2Mb. Getting error code 200 for that size. Sorry but haven't got time at the moment to search for images smaller than that. Thanks for your help George.

Would appear to be a size issue.

I will try to upload the same image as you below.

Works for you but doesn't for me, strange.

Nothing has appeared in my posted message. I got the same error as ravip posted. Maybe you could try to upload an image to this topic from your phone and see the error message yourself?

Image attempt below. Size 4Mb, jpg.

I tried to attach two images using the add files option and got a "sorry there was a problem, error code 200" message. The images were just standard photos taken with my phone which have always been acceptable before.

Thai Post is not the problem. My last set of documents sent to UK via Thai Post registered mail spent two weeks in customs at Heathrow.

Posted 21 hours ago. Bit of a lightweight if you have only got two pints down by 11am.

As I said, I wish to buy my spectacles online. The only thing I need is a new prescription. Thanks for your help.

I took your advice and used Google. All the answers were spectacles shops. You had a test yesterday last week? Did they hand you the prescription? I can get an eye test in every spectacles shop in town for free but none of them will give me a prescription.
