Safety for solo travellers in the Philippines
BritManToo replied to coralia's topic in Philippines General Chat
Can't say I eat Thai food either. -
I've always made my own rules for everything! And as far as I'm concerned, a man who doesn't take what he's owed isn't a man.

I paid 20% of my income to buy my state pension and NHS entitlement. As far as I'm concerned I'm entitled to any pension payments other pensioners get, no matter where I live. Maybe you should spend more time worrying about Tony Blair's sudden millions and David Cameron's offshore accounts, these guys are crooks, I'm just claiming what I paid for..

I paid more taxes than most of them.

Safety for solo travellers in the Philippines
BritManToo replied to coralia's topic in Philippines General Chat
Potential dangers, More worried about the danger of dying on Thai islands than being mugged in PI. Beggers, The occasional kid or granny outside 7-11 or walking in the road. Generally much less begging than from the Rose ladies walking in Thai bars or tuk-tuk drivers in Thailand. Food, Every meal was great, although I mostly ate at Mexican, German or Oz/Brit restaurants. Did have Pork Adobo at a local street restaurant, which was perfectly acceptable. Alcoholic drinks, A fraction of Thai prices. Beaches, Much nicer than any Thai beaches I've ever visited. About 8 trips in the pre-COVID 4 years. Zero problems with anyone. Here's the Pork Adobo, Essentially pork and potato stew served with rice. -

Been there lots of times, walked through the Barrios after midnight in Manilla, never a problem of any kind. Everyone very polite, they actually seem to like foreigners (unlike Thais). Saying that as a large white male. -
Why would you tell any government agency where you were or what you were doing? You got yourself no 250 pound winter fuel allowance, no 10% pension rise and no NHS treatment, pointless!

I use the last UK address I lived at, I don't know the people that currently live there and nobody ever checked.

4bht/gm doesn't seem expensive to me. My kids get 50bht per school day, they can easily afford cannabis. As for hospital admissions, I'd be more interested in the actual numbers of people admitted with serious problems, doubt there's be 10.

Renewing Insurance for a Friend's Motorscooter
BritManToo replied to Barley's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
You're wrong! My pal toppled his m/c over in his driveway and broke his hip. 3rd party insurance paid his 40k(?) government hospital bill. -
Sounds to me you're just a bad loser. The people voted and your side lost, I call this democracy. Brexit happened, get over it.

.... or for how long.

Cameron was trying to save the Tory party from the Nigel Farage white supremacist movement. It gave the Conservatives another 8 years in power. But it was the UK voting population that voted for Brexit, not any political party, not any MPs. The MPs and political parties all wanted to stay and take their turns at the gigantic feeding trough which is the EU.

It was the British voters that voted to leave the EU, not Tory MPs.

The only MP that supported Brexit was the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. None of the Tories ever wanted to leave. And the current Labour leader has firmly stated Labour have no intention to rejoin.
