    Cliveshep, I don't know if this is any help but I checked "Ancestry" and "Find my past". the only person I came up with was ~Frederick C. Sheppard born January 1946 in HITCHIN, Herts. Mothers maiden name 'GROUNSELL' Could this be you.

    This sounds like a non-British individual, working for HMPO, and probably working from home (?India?).I wish you luck in your efforts to avoid becoming a stateless person.

    Hamas does not care about nationality.They decide who and when releases will be made. The Thai authorities have no say in the matter. Sadly this Thai worker was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. My thoughts go out to his family.

    I haven't been to Thailand since the late 1980's but my favourite then was Hogs Breath, upstairs on the left.There was also one on the ground floor right but I cannot remember the name other than that of 2 of the girls (!). I used to go down to Soi Cowboy as well. Tilac bar. This was in the days when Golden Palace hotel in soi 1 and the stalls and bars in the area opposite soi 1 under the flyover and along by the rail track were still there.

    If it is sent back Trump will probably put a 100% tariff on it. Just ban any future imports of US rubbish

    Years ago especially in London, buskers used the power of their own voices to entertain. Now it seems that they need to have loudspeakeo irritate the public! They have been moved out of certain areas in UK and I would suggest that the same should apply in Thailand. If your voice is not good enough don't even bother.Pack up your speakers and go home.

    Possibly the confiscation order included VAT which could account for the odd pence

    As long as he doesn't decide that he should be King of England we in UK will be happy. However his petulant behaviour and hissy fits leave a lot to be desired of a man who thinks he is untouchable.

    As much as I have sympathy with the family at their loss I question the cost of repatriation.Homeland International quotes the following on line:Cost between £2000 and £20000 but average is £3000-£6000. Ashes~£1000- £3000. Repatriation of a patient is £200-£300 per mile. There are now a number of families using GoFundMe asking for in excess of £30000.

    Perhaps she went on the speedboat trip as well as the minibus trip.

    I do not think she was that naive to believe she was bringing back designerclothes and watches and her 'cut' was £18000. The judge should be ashamed of himself for the sympathetic sentence and the prosecution should appeal against this.Olga will probably sell her story to the Tabloids for even more money.

    The report says Ms Aom was critically injured, which suggests that sadly she may not have survived. Has her family accepted the 200.000Bt. ? I hope they will also fight for more. And how much is the damaged Porsche worth? Sell it and add it to the compensation already offered.

    My heart goes out to the families of those lost in this dreadful incident. If it is true that the door(s) failed to open this needs looking into on ALL public transport.

    I agree with you, no mention as to whether or not he got his money back, also i see no proof that this youth picked a pocket in the first place. A good pick pocketer would have been long gone!

    I bet he was not insured to drive in Thailand~charge him with driving without insurance, criminal damage and careless driving~ then kick him out.

    Nobody seems to have mentioned the timing in the CCTV shots. The incident took place in 5 seconds from start to finish. Very little time for any reaction by the lorry driver. Also the 15 year old motor cyclist appears to falter as he crosses because of the motor bike coming from his left. That momentary lapse could have been the reason for this tragic accident.

    XL" bullies" are banned in the UK after a number of deaths and injuries caused by the breed.To continue ownership of one here they have to be registered. No new ownership is permitted. Many were put down in UK after several serious incidents and the new law coming into force.They are NOT pets. Be warned.
