    It was announced months ago masks were not required even in schools.
  2. Jumbo1968
    I wish some at my sons school would read that, they were having races in the play area the other day in the sun of course with masks on !

    So why are all the kids at my sons school wearing masks all day, he has now developed catarrh in his throat which I assume is down to wearing a mask 8/9: hours a day.

    We’re any selected for a random Covid test ?

    If the car is registered they will know who the owner is ?

    I worked in Kaz, Kazakhs tend to be more different facially more so their eyes, a bit more ‘shanty’ with out being too rude.

    Rules a bit different from Thailand but still a few hoops to jump through, https://www.solicitorsinspain.com/articles/living-spain-after-brexit

    An Entry Authorisation is required, ETIAS, https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/etias/who-needs-etias/

    The galling thing is U.K. Passports are made in Tczew, Poland I believe, the actual personal details are added in the U.K.

    Always use the Thai when I am with my Thai lady and son.

    Because you probably submitted your PP details when you cashed it in or the Pension company informed HMRC.

    I do my tax online, HMRC are aware how much my State Pension is and how much my private pensions are, I don’t have to inform HMRC, they issue a tax statement informing me how much tax the private pension company has to deduct from my private pension. If I have any additional investments I have to inform them by completing a tax return.

    No one receives more State Pension than their tax allowance, the U.K. State Pension is that poor. the equivalent of around £4/5 an hour.
  15. Jumbo1968
    If you only received the State Pension with no other investments you wouldn’t pay tax on it, there will be a 10% increase this year due to the triple lock, unfortunately that decreases the amount left on your personal allowance meaning you wil pay more tax on you investments.
  16. Jumbo1968
    HMRC will be aware how much State Pension you receive, your tax allowance means you should not pay tax on it albeit I don’t know where you stand if you live in Thailand permanently.

    If you are over 70 years of age you can use the Fast Track lanes at the airport.

    The whole sale gas price is at the same level or less than before the Ukraine conflict, I appreciate it takes time to filter through, will the price come down when it does.
  19. Jumbo1968
    I agree, haircuts went from 80 to 100 now 150, businesses have to make money but that’s a big percentage increase.

    Why, are people paying an agent to arrange a Driving Test when you can do itself for free ?
  21. Jumbo1968
    Do you mean an agent to ‘obtain’ a licence with out taking the test ?
  22. Jumbo1968
    Crossed 3rd Road in Pattaya, earlier, lights in my favour, motor bikes ignored the red light then again how can you deduct points from a licence when the driver doesn’t have a licence ?
  23. Jumbo1968
    If a driver of any motor vehicle/motor cycle etc is stopped the afore should be impounded and only be returned when the owner shows a valid driving licence.. Same with some not wearing a crash hat, they are driving illegally therefore the bike should be impounded. In the U.K. when a vehicle is impounded there is set time to recover it, if not it’s crushed.

    The business is currently still trading, the manager who did most of the leg work is running the business, she has been there 15 years.
