We often leave a tip for the cleaners when leaving a hotel room.

If you stay more than 1 night you can also leave it on the first day. A nice tip can also help to get your room really cleaned for the duration of your stay.

No landlord wants a tenant who's struggling to pay the rent though. He probably just say good luck and goodbye.

I think looking for something cheaper if money is tight shows great responsibility.

I know that in my condo building in BKK there are a lot of advertisements at the reception. Prices went down at least 1/3 in the last half year. Owners know that. You have something with 1/3 discount in a minute. And moving means just putting your things in the elevator to another floor.

The owner knows...  If he lets you go he has to give the discount anyway, and probably also lose a couple of months rent. Because despite the discounts a lot of condos are for rent already for months.

asking landlords for huge discounts, as much as 50%

You can also do it in a different way. Tell your landlord that you are having a difficult time at the moment, and that you will probably cancel the rent because you have to look for something cheaper.

It is like asking for a discount, but in a different way.

My bill came to 170. I gave them 200 and told them to keep the change. 

That made their day ????

The business can be a money laundering operation.

But can my Thai Better-Half get to Cambodia and back? 

Land borders are closed. But heard about people just walking through the forest, crossing the Thai-Cambodia border, and back.

How coincidental that the illegal leak of Trump's tax information is released just days before the 1st presidential debate.  Almost as if they had nothing going into the debate and sorely needed something . . . anything.

Something? Anything?  It seems Trump supporters just don't want to see the truth.

Trump is a scammer, a liar. Where is the successful businessman?

Investing half of that, $500,000, I could get a retirement visa in the USA. Not sure about a WP.

$1 million will give you a EU passport in Malta. After which you can live anywhere in the EU, and work as much as you want, for the rest of your life.

Still controls 40% of the worlds finance..........  From one square mile !....... Still the largest land owner in the world......  Go figure that one....    Strange how all those so called refugees are all heading to Britain as opposed to Europe...... I wonder why ?  Etc,etc,etc,......

Controls 40% of the world finance?  It means that they are allowed to look after Russian maffia money?

Just check economic figures like GDP, economic output and compare the UK with other countries in northern Europe. The UK is poor, compared to other countries in Europe. It is a FACT. 

Also look at the figures about refugees. 99% of them don't go to the UK but stay in other countries. They are not heading to the UK. Again another FACT based on numbers.

Better to argue just based on facts and numbers. And not on false statements.

You quote "poverty", well, can you show me UK's poverty, or have you been reading tea leaves or even...

 

 

 

Yes. The UK is a poor country compared to most other northern European countries.

Compare economic figures of the UK with Germany, NL etc and you will see yourself.

And you can also see it when you leave the center of London. The center looks nice, but once you leave it you see the desperation, the poverty. 

Fortunately you can dream about a wonderful past when the UK ships ruled the waves and the UK still had some industry ????

Your point is.....?

After Brexit everything will be better for the UK. They can blame nobody for their poverty anymore. They will have control over their own fishing water and the UK industry will florish like it never did before.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha ????

Losers.

Is that a Polish pilot in the cockpit?

I don't know ????

But you can be sure that the factory where the airplane was made has German or Chinese owners now. Little is left of the UK industry.

Which facts did I misrepresent? Has the EU not been asking for full access to UK fish/waters, a level playing field (in which the EU make the rules) and ECJ jurisdiction?

Yes, they ask this. And they are allowed to ask this, and much more.

But this doesn't give the UK the right to violate treaties.

And there is also not much floating there.

If you do not want to pay you can follow the road, pass the paid entrance at the right. After a couple of minutes walking you will see that there are more entrances, where you can go in without paying.
