In fairness, swimming lessons and cycling proficiency are rarely funded by LEAs these days. Swimming lessons and cycling proficiency were part of the curriculum in primary and junior schools (UK), but that was back in the 70s. Notwithstanding, I could already swim and ride a bike by then, but the lessons were invaluable, nonetheless.

One emergency at a time, surely? First is immediate survival.

Look at the annual drownings in the UK and more than average percentage is Indians and Africans.

Appreciated. I'm a strong swimmer, but I avoid the sea. Too many variables that can lead to death. Simple as that.

Nonsense.

It's fair to say a lot of Thais can't swim. This also includes a lot of Indians and Africans. An adventurous non-swimmer can soon find themselves in a life or death situation and invariably involves cooling off in the heat where they're lured to their deaths.

Any stats on the hostages?

Digital is the way forward.

I don't think the bank is interested, as long as it's delivered by fax.

I note you edited your original post to remove go annoy someone else. Okay then, I've tried to help as have many others on this thread. Good bye and good luck. Ignore.

You were provided that information already in the form of use the local internet cafe. But it's not free.

...or our age. Haha. Joking aside, millions of kids viewed these PiFs, particularly as there were only three channels back then, so captive audience (in between Grange Hill). Wasn't a member of Tufty Club, but was in the Cubs, Scouts and Army Cadets with their strong emphasis on health and safety. I also passed my cycling proficiency in juniors.

Strange OP, to be honest. The answer has been provided in various forms but you're still not happy. Why didn't you mention your reluctance in the OP. There's no helping some people.

... and not forgetting Charley Says.

RNLI (UK) provide good advice here: https://rnli.org/safety/float The PIFs back in 70s and 80s were certainly educational and mildly entertaining at same time. Atomic bombs to crossing the road with Darth Vadar. It was good stuff.

So you'll have to pay a small fee either way whether using a digital service or going to the local internet cafe. What is it that you're actually looking for? A completely free service?

Probably panic.

That's interesting, but like you say, your bills do appear quite high for a very small 1-bedroom home. Two quick questions if I may, a) when was the last time the units were cleaned by a professional; and b) how long and at what temp(s) are you running the units?

I recall the first fax service provided after the OP offered the first three pages free.

I suspect the other eight injured were in the Isuzu pickup truck? No mention of the deceased wearing helmets, but you never know.

I work in London, though WFH majority of time since lockdown. I send and receive faxes all the time on behalf of my employer, but there're no physical fax machines in the office or my home. Fax is now a hybrid of digital and analogue technology. I can send and receive faxes to/from a traditional fax machine with no issue. Alternatively, I can send and receive faxes to/from a digital service. There's a misconception these days that any mention of a fax means a dusty old machine spitting out A4 paper all day. All I see is an on screen pdf.

What was last month's bill? Has the monthly bill been increasing since then? As previous poster mentioned, aircon units require regular maintenance.

That's a royal pain and it's not like it's optional either. I suspect at least half of these so-called needier people are pulling fast ones and I've seen it with my own eyes, although I've never experienced anything of the sort in business class, which is surely down to available space, i.e. business class customers have no need to pull a fast one because there's no discernable benefit, whereas in economy... Not sure falling over on the travelator is EVA's fault, although appreciate you were obviously wound up by the earlier game of musical chairs.

Sell them in the UK on your next visit. Not bullet proof, of course, but less chance of getting ripped off if you follow more reliable methods of security.

Not a criticism, but the fast up button doesn't appear to add much to overall navigation. The 'Home' button does same thing, although appreciate not when the cursor is in the reply field. I subscribe to many online forums, and a fast up button isn't high on the list of upgrades for most.
