Use of excessive force not allowed in a war. OK.

It's been used since time began. It's how wars are won.  Try reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loughgall_ambush

I know people who drink milk every morning and never got Covid. I know someone who doesn't drink milk every morning and did get Covid. I am scared to post this alternative view and be labeled a conspiracist and being oppressed! The truth about milk will get out!

Lactoferrin, a glycoprotein in mammal milk, displays an antiviral effect on different types of viruses including SARS-CoV-2 which is the main focus of this review (10). Additionally, milk also contains other glycoconjugates that are potentially involved in antiviral mechanisms and human immunity.

I'd recommend, here in Thailand, a Credit Union if you can find one that you can join. Teachers Credit Union in Buriram currently paying 4% per annum.

IMHO the use of agents should be restricted to the truly difficult things in life, like renewing your passport from Thailand if you're a Brit.

I'm a Brit and I use my wife to go to BKK and renew my passport. She's done it twice for me in the last 17 years or so.

but surely that rule  book clearly states  all that.......surely

No it does not, hence why the disagreeing. The only way to settle things was by mutual agreement and compromising. Saving face for the Thai.

I still say I have provided clear written facts from a credible source, gov.UK, that is in plain english and states the UK state pension cannot be reduced or stopped if you commit benefit fraud.

Quote

Your benefits can be reduced or stopped for up to 3 years if you're convicted of benefit fraud. The amount of time they're stopped for depends on how many times you've committed fraud.

Why has my post been deleted? Please. All okay. Back up now.

What were you claiming to be a bank that the IO was disputing and why had the question of what was a bank arisen?

I'll keep this short as I already did a thread regarding this. Way back I was offered an account at a 'Credit Union' paying 6% interest. The first year immigration accepted the 'Credit Union' as a bank and accepted my 400,000 Baht invested as being acceptable for my 'Marriage Extension' deposit. The following year they refused saying a 'Credit Union' is not a bank. A 'Credit Union' definition is open to question along with a 'bank'.

Thankyou, and well done and good luck to your daughter. I wish her well. And you for supporting her.

Thank you. I hope you can teach your grandson to stick with his music. I'd recommend private tuition one on one. Learning at school has too many distractions in my opinion.

We have a lukrung16 year old daughter who is signed up to https://www.gmmgrammy.com/th/index.html  How she started was to learn the guitar first privately. Government schools do have music teachers but our daughter had it all mapped out that she wanted to go to boarding school. Whilst there she joined, with a few other musicians, and formed a band in which they participated in talent contests out and about with the assistance of the boarding school. She was later approached by GM Grammy(Bangkok) and they signed her up with our permission. She now lives in Bangkok under the cover of GMM. They teach her singing, music and acting etc. 

All I can say is it took a lot of hard work by herself to get where she is and hopefully the OP's grandson can do the same. Good luck
