Im not surprised he’s vexed by the factors fundamental to exchange rates. Not even a mention of inflation,the biggest issue facing the economies of much of the world and the impact on expats.

Watch yourself!

Do you know the definition of a cynic? An optimist with experience. ????

"Oh Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz My MPs all have Porsches and I’ve a meeting to attend" ????

Would that be the 'win' of (pre pandemic) BA making £2 billion profit while Thai airways went bankrupt? It’s pretty clear BA's commercial managers are in a different league to Thai.There is reduced capacity on air travel and BA have realised there is more profit and reliability with other routes rather than the flip flopping uncertainty of Thai officials. They’d long ago switched their Australia stop over from Bangkok to Singapore which indicates a trend.

I still make my missus wear her old school uniform.. ????

It’s since emerged that it was a careers advice teacher preparing the child for a future as a sandwich board operative.

That’s a weird diet … ????

'Depreciation of the property' ?? What you really have to watch out for is the CGT (Capital gains tax) liability when you sell the house as it is not exempt by virtue of now not being yoir principal residence and over several years that could be substantial(U.K. ) . You could,as I do,fill in your own tax return deducting legitimate expenses which are listed. I think you’re on shaky ground re travel expenses home. Regarding frozen pensions,it is unconsciously egregious by the U.K. government with no justification ,so morally , anyone that 'cheats' is simply repaying like with like. Next April the U.K. pension is budgeted to increase by 10% (£960 per annum) so the impact is even more accentuated.

Murder requires premeditated intention to kill. This is manslaughter which can also carry a very high tariff sentence based on the circumstances (drunk is very high tariff)

Most (All?)European countries will have jail time for causing death while driving drunk. U.K. recently increased the maximum penalty (death by dangerous driving = being drunk) to 14 years . You’ll find it very difficult and expensive to get insurance after a drink conviction too,probably impossible if you’ve killed some one.

Don’t worry,you’ll very quickly forget the sleight… ????

This is exactly my understanding too. My rental income ,private and uk state pensions are uk generated income which I have to pay uk tax on despite living outside the country. My BA pilot friend living in France is able to avoid paying most of his uk tax only on the basis that his income is being generated outside the uk (while flying) but even then calculations are made based on his rosta for the time on each flight he’s in uk airspace when taking off /landing for which he’s liable for tax !

I stopped teaching because I had the feeling I was teaching alzheimer patients.... They forget, don't think, copy but don't know what they copy and after 6 years English as a Thai English teacher told me they still don't know the ABC... So sure there is something missing A few of my friends and I jokingly christened it the "Thai Thick gene", but increasingly I don’t think it is a joke and more of a sad reality .

That would be a very,very short article! Try Googling Thai scientific achievements…

Maybe send a probe. Into Saturn’s ring… ????

The rationale is that over time witness memories become unreliable and evidence corrupted or even lost. The exceptions to this are usually murder where new evidence can surface many decades after an unsolved crime (dna)or rape ,especially of a minor where the victim only comes forward to complain when an adult.

Oh him again ? He wrote an ill informed financial article here showing his complete economic illiteracy for which he rightly received excoriating criticism

No he has to go via thailand to add to the tourist statistics!

He wants them for his feet ! ????

Then you haven’t understood HS2 objectives which is to do with increasing overall capacity and moving more freight off the roads. Please inform your opinions better.

They’ll market it as the Lop Buri of the south .

We’re they the same guys who left the fourth brother behind when responding to an advertisement " Tree fellers"…

Another clue which you’ve overlooked is that it is wholly owned by a SPANISH company IAG. You may with some merit decry the passenger experience but pre pandemic it was highly successful commercially making very good profits. So that rather pulls the rug from under most of your argument..

I would think this really only pertains to the current peak of European summer holidays season and they would have largely sorted this issue come November (winter) . The vast majority of BAs cancellations related to European short haul,so I’m inclined to think that their commercial managers still think that Thailand is not going to be worth the effort for the country’s usual high season,or is still too unpredictable based on its behavior over the pandemic to be worth the risk /investment of reopening (and I’m inclined to agree) . Do many here imagine that compared to normal November- January tourist figures Thailand will not only attract a fraction of those numbers ?
