  1. The Remainers here need to be taken on a trip to France and Belgium.  Take a walk around the graveyards and reflect on the British boys who gave their lives to prevent the German domination of Europe (and beyond) during 20th century. Now it is for Great Britain to halt German hegemony in the 21st century. The EU is nothing more than a Trojan Horse for the Germans.

    Thankfully those of us with balls and a backbone outnumber the spineless knee-taker Remainers.

  2. The Remainers will be filling their nappies next week. Not only are we out of the EU but there is almost no time left for trade negotiation. It looks like NO DEAL guys!  Whoo hoo!  Let's go WTO!

    French fishermen will be going into meltdown and German car workers contemplating unemployment.

    2021 is going to be fun. Break out the popcorn, sit back and watch as the EU crashes and burns. There will be civil unrest in the EU countries that makes the French Yellow Shirt protests look like a kid's bun fight.

    Boris and Dominic have steered us out of the clutches of the Fourth Reich!  2021 will be the year we start to put the Great back into Great Britain!

  3. Up until this year my wife and I have been splitting out time between UK and Thailand - keeping an old Corolla for use in Thailand and doing maybe just 4000km/year.

    When the current crisis is over we plan to spend most of our time in Thailand and travel around a lot more.  The Corolla has done a huge mileage and I am thinking about getting a new car.  The latest Corolla looks good, but in Thailand it is really poor value.  I am thinking pick-ups are better value (consequence of lower tax).  I would actually prefer something smaller than a pickup, but you do get a lot for the money and a pick up has obvious advantages in terms of driving on rough or flooded roads up-country.  Will be a pain in Bangkok or Pattaya though.

     

    Anyway. I am thinking I could buy a new pickup at around 800Kbaht, keep for 10 years and it should still be worth 300k - so the cost per year is not too bad.

     

    My question relates to paying for the vehicle, which I guess will be around 800-900k  (Toyota double-cab).  Now I could pay for the vehicle outright, but I am thinking it might be better to buy on finance, paying a proportion in cash and financing the rest. If I die part-way through the agreement then there would be more money in my estate. What kind of agreements do the dealers typically offer (interest rates, guarantees) and do they ever offer 0%?
