    it is perfectly possible to be ordinarily resident here from the day of arrival, when it is clear that that person has, upon arrival, taken up settled residence. In each case, it is for the relevant body to decide whether the criteria within the ordinary residence description are met

    So I arrive at Heathrow after 10 years in Thailand with a bad disease (not Covid), and tell the Border man that I am here to stay. What criteria do I need to meet to be allowed in as a settled resident please?

    Have started resting the beer now.....one it costs a fortune (when accompanied by a lady drink) two I find I drink small bottles much faster than the equivalent amounts in a pint glass.

    Then why not pour two small bottles into a pint glass, and kick the lady drink into touch.

    Some vehicles brake down while crossing the tracks or another incident might happen.

    I know what you are saying and i agree but there is always something that could happen.

    How long in time, does it take a vehicle to traverse the tracks, should be about 10 seconds. But yes, BREAKdowns do happen, but why just as the vehicle is crossing the tracks. Sod's Law.

    It is to allow an escape route in cause you get caught in between closed barriers,hey it is a reason!

    I did not make this up.

    People have got caught in between,panicked and died.

    Should be part of drivers training,nevermind the damage you do get off the tracks!!!

    I can see your point about an escape route, but no vehicle should ever be in that situation as the lights & bells start well before the barriers come down.

    DA stands for duel action... you can google...plenty of videos on YouTube.

     

    Detailed... was eating breakfast at the time I wrote the reply...should have written ‘detailer’. Please don’t tell me you don’t know what one of those is... again google is your friend.
     

    Anyway aren’t you the grammar police guy? ????

    Of course I know what a DETAILER is, it is one who DETAILS. Or it could refer to a Military Officer who sends a number of troops ( a detail ) out on an exercise!

    And a DUEL is a fight between two contestants, usually over a woman!

    I have been known to pull up some members when their English spelling or grammar is bad.    LOL 555

    This kind of issue is going to become more and more of a problem for people who don't live in their home country and pay no tax.

     

    AML/KYC - making a nightmare process out of something which should be simple, unless you're moving millions at a time then people should not even know what AML/KYC is.

    Which the majority of us don't know what these TLAs mean!

    Brand name and model number of laptop? Will help to determine what kind of SSD it can accept or if it already has an SSD fitted. Full model number if possible.

    Will a 2.5 inch SSD of any make or capacity fit into and work with any laptop or PC?

    To determine whether or not an SSD is already fitted, put your ear to it on boot up, or while running.
