This article may be about Heathrow but I can assure you no airport in the UK is untouched.
Expect to see more press releases.

You were warned often not to get into bed with Russia as far as your energy needs were concerned and you ignored all of these warnings.
Too many eggs in one basket.
You are reaping your rewards now. Stop bleating and find alternatives..... Quickly!!!

Not much going on there except for locals maybe. I got a massage there after a long day at my motorbike, and the girl started to rub my thing, but I was not up for it, and akward situation since she did not speak english. If you search for massage you might find it downtown not far from marked.
You might have better luck with dating apps or dating sites there.
What in deleted are you doing up in Phetchabun looking for ladies? Nobody goes outback isan without a lady in hand?
Phetchabun is not Issan.
There are some karaoke bars on the way to Dong Mun Lek, just as you get out of Phetchabun Meung across the river.

We used to get approximately 24,000 miles between services for our E-Class Mercedes. Because the service interval indicator used to extend according to your driving behaviour and we were sat on motorways at 70 miles per hour most of the time.
The local dealerships, which had spent so much money on their shiny glass and metal showrooms complained to Mercedes that people were not bringing their vehicles in for servicing as often.
Mercedes then capped it at 16,000 miles.
You can run a car further than the service intervals suggest. This was corroborated by the CEO of Castrol oil, who said oil these days can run a lot further.
I am intrigued to know why Thailand service intervals are so much shorter, is it due to the extreme heat?

At the beginning of the pandemic in a bar behind the triangle bar in Pattaya, we've been served by stunningly gorgeous waitress.
My friend even took pictures of her. She took a break, she took her mask off so she could have something to eat and drink.....OMG!
We left and went to another bar ????

If it's 5,000 baht then I would get it done. I have a fleet of Mercedes in the UK and they were laid up in the pandemic, Mercedes have turned around and told me the 3-year unlimited mileage warranty is null and void because I didn't get the cars serviced when they were sat there stationary ????
Manufacturers will wiggle out of any warranty if they can

Some of my clients find first class cheaper than business. It is to do with supply and demand and the price matrix airlines use. It is if first is empty and business only has one seat left scenario

He’s a spokesman, he’s paid to say what he says.
I don't think he was, he said he never has to go out of the room and talk to the government (alluding to what other people have to do, allegedly) that he makes the decisions for his own company.
-
I saw an interview with one of the train companies spokesman, a Scottish fellow I can't remember his name. He said that he can't talk for the other companies but the government does not get involved in his negotiations with the Unions and he does not know who is spreading the rumours.
We can all speculate on who it may be and we could all be wrong.

Nonsense.
The unions did not destroy British Industry, that was done with government policies and decades of underinvestment. You might recall Maggie’s ‘post industrial age’ speech.
Workers rights were indeed won by union action, and are being stripped away in the absence of Union action. Rights won can and are being removed.
Unionized workers and collective bargaining are a perfect example of the ‘Free Market’ in action.
Yes there are about 1.3million vacancies in the UK right now, there is also inflation.
Workers are in a very good position to bargain for better pay and workers in unions are in an even better position.
And for the record, inflation has arrived before pay increases, pay increases are not the cause of inflation.
I do not agree with all you said.
The Unions certainly helped in bringing industry to its knees although I do agree with you that under investment and bad management were key factors too.
There may be one or two workers rights being stripped away but equally there are other rights coming in to help them. The minimum wage being a welcome addition.
I am surrounded by people who do not want to work even though they could and are happy to sit on social welfare. There is no incentive for them to work as they get as much for doing nothing.
Immigrants in the UK work so much harder than the indigenous population, and yet the Brex<deleted>eers wanted them out, now we have food rotting and our fields, not enough truck drivers to move things and a lack of nurses to look after our sick... The list is endless.
"Yes there are about 1.3million vacancies in the UK right now, there is also inflation."
I don't understand why you put these in the same sentence.
I also don't understand why you say inflation came before pay increases. Inflation is with us most of the time, except when there is a recession, so are pay increases ????????

Had a very interesting conversation with a retired colonel of the British army.
He stated NATO could obliterate the Russian army in Ukraine without setting one boot on Ukrainian soil.
NATO is not worried about Russia, their focus is on China.
He also stated if Putin was to press the button, they're taking bets on how many of his missiles would actually take off ????
The problem as I see it, it only takes one missile landing on a major conurbation to be tragic

Boris is a lying cheating buffoon. And that's coming from a conservative voter.
Unions had their place 100 years ago and were very welcome giving workers rights.
They are an obsolete dinosaur in today's day and age. So many industries in the UK have been brought to their knees by unions and we lost those industries because of industrial action.
Market forces are the new leverage. If somebody doesn't like a job they can get another job. There are around 1.3 million vacancies in the United Kingdom at the moment.

I doubt if it will be for much longer. With interest rates rising around the world due to inflation.

All the health workers I talk to would probably agree with him. There is so much wastage in the NHS. Morale is a problem as they've all been working so hard.

So that is $1.32 a litre?
Equivalent to £1.09
We are paying £1.80 a litre

Can I Visit Ireland with a Schengen Visa?
A Schengen Visa covers you for longer stays within the Schengen Area and can be used to study and work in the region. However, it is not valid in Ireland.
Don't confuse people, the Republic of Ireland is not part of the Schengen visa treaty You cannot get into the Republic of Ireland on a Schengen visa.
Here is a list of the countries in the Schengen visa treaty.

Even though they will stop being legal tender they still retain their monetary value and can be exchanged for the new notes at any UK bank after 30 September. Just means you need to take a trip to the UK.
Just to clarify, you can't exchange the notes you can pay them into a bank account and withdraw money. This started about 5 years ago (anti money laundering laws) an absolute pain in the ass if you are self-employed etc and the tax man takes interest in your bank account seeing money going in and out

The old £50 note ceases to be legal tender on the same date. They have a new £50 polymer note also.
As mentioned above, the bank of England will always take their notes back, and your UK bank will normally take the notes even after they cease to be legal tender.
