    Every time I make an internet transaction with SCB, I get an email to say x number of baht has been deducted from the account.

    The app sends an email every time it id openned. Unfortunately many Thai's are not that familiar with email as the use line and messenger for communications. My wife asked me what the emails were for over a week after she had the app installed.

    I'd check your account if I were you. An ATM card PIN is not used in conjunction with an online account. Rather, a one-time password (OTP) is sent to your mobile phone to confirm the transaction. A bank cannot identify an ATM card via the PIN number, hence why they would NEVER ask for it.

     

    I can assure you it does. Have  you installed the SCB Easy app?

     

    "1. Registration
    - Download SCB Easy app via App Store (IOS) or Play Store (Android).
    - After completing download, open the app, and you will see the tutorial page.
    - Select the language (English and Thai).
    - Enter your ATM number or credit card number.
    Note:
    If you enter the ATM number, you are required to enter your PIN ATM.
    If you enter the credit card number, you are required to enter your credit limit."

  3. There are many cases of European countries ignoring ECJ rulings

    Germany 'ignoring' ECJ ruling on refugee reunification

    Polish deputy PM: Warsaw will ‘ignore’ ECJ ruling on justice reform

    Germany now 'biggest breaker of EU rules', according to official figures
    Numbers provided to German newspaper Handelsblatt by the country’s economics ministry show the country’s government is subject to 74 infringement proceedings by the European Commission for failing to implement EU regulations properly in German law.

    Not sure what your point is.

    The ECJ will only rule if the UK can unilaterally reverse the Brexit decision. Should they decide we can’t then ignoring their ruling would be a tad difficult and, should they rule we can, the decision is still down to us so not exactly something that we can ‘ignore’ unless you are arguing they should tell us we cannot leave.

    I'm not sure many politicians are acting like politicians, right or left, such has been the non-midas touch of Brexit.

     

    I think Corbyn appears to be the one out of line with Labour policy.  Still, he was asked to give his opinion and he honestly gave it. Generally, the problem for Labour remains sticking with its Socialist principles whilst attracting broad electoral support.  

     

    Both parties are damned if they do, damned if they don't, hence both throw out seemingly paradoxical messages- it's tedious.

     

     

     

    Not sure how relevant Corbyn's statement is since the ECJ will now be deciding this before UK parliament get a meaningful vote as UK court has blocked UK govt appeal regarding this.

  5. The Tories you all hate have constantly put the minimum wage up above inflation each year!
     
    There is a EU flaw in the minimum wage widely abused so:
     
    Romanian company wins contract to replace glass in large building. They arrive with staff who will be paid effectively. Romanian wage rates as are excluddd under the minimum wage directive. Bit like if you worked in the UK but moved around you are still employed in the UK.
     
    This scam is wildly used on big construction sites in London.



    If they are doing the work in the UK, even if employed by an overseas company, they are legally entitled to UK minimum wage.

    Seems like something the EU would be promoting.

     

    No - just a reality of what happens when we choose to remove ourselves from EU controls and the EU directives that govern them.

     

    A deal needs to be reached to resolve this and many other minor issues that effect many industries that have been intimately linked and entwined with the EU over several decades.

     

    Gone are the days of solving these things on a nod, wink and firm handshake - one of the key (and valid) reasons for leaving the EU is the overbearing buearacracy and regulations since it is, in essence, a construct of law and rules rather than one of culture and history but that will not go away when we leave.

    .... and why would there not  be?
     
     
    The reverse also applies.



    Yes, but the concern of the RHA is that under a no deal scenario or unless it is specifically written into a deal agreement then mutual recognition will cease on Certificates of Professional Competence which affect both transport companies in that a company’s transport manager must hold an International CPC to operate trucks on the continent (I hold one) and all drivers must hold individual ones which are different to the managers ones.

    Yes it would cause chaos both ways without that recognition but that does not stop it from happening. The contingency is to operate transport hubs at either end of crossings to transfer to different drivers/trucks/separately registered business in EU/U.K. but will incur heavy costs and handling delays.

  8. Criminal investigation started into Arron Banks:

    “Mr Banks was not the true source of the £8m reported as loans
    The parties to the financial transactions that led to the £8m being paid into BFTC’s bank account included a non-qualifying or impermissible company, Rock Holding Limited, which was incorporated in the Isle of Man
    Leave.EU, Elizabeth Bilney (the responsible person for Leave.EU), BFTC, Mr Banks, and possibly others, concealed the true details of these financial transactions, including from us, and also did so by knowingly making statutory returns/reports which were incomplete and inaccurate, or false
    Various criminal offences may have been committed”

    Yes dolphin man was hilarious!! he had a real chance of winning though this time, but lots of resources put in to stop him.

     

    To be fair Farage looks quite reasonable compared to UKIPs current leader who takes incompetence to a whole new level. Interesting that fishing is back in the conversation again as we have seen here today, just a shame that Batten slept in when he was supposed to be talking about it in front of the fishmongers at Lowestoft yesterday.

  10. Sorry forgot to add. Remain had twice the funds of Leave so if there was some miss spending leave still had the financial advantage.
     
    going back further it seems the Tories miss used campaign funds or Farage would have been an MP. That could have made the leave vote even bigger?



    Given that Farage has failed to be elected as an MP seven times including on one occasion being beaten by a man dressed as a dolphin, I am not sure it is his level of funding that his making him so unpopular in U.K. parliamentary elections

  11. Very well done a succinctly written response. The original post was refreshing to actually show real genuine news rather than the project fear stuff that remain keep peddling. Unemployment down, wages fastest growth in 10 years, less immigration, tax cuts.
     
     Looks like Brexit is really working well already!



    “Real genuine news” ?

    The article is two years old.

  12. Will be interesting to see just how far it goes. As well as Leavers, I think a great many others never, ever, want to see another referendum as long as they live.
     
     


    At a guess they will announce it will be debated which will be done in Westminster Hall rather that the main chamber headed up by some junior minister with little or no publicity or press attention.

    The deadline on it isn’t until 1st Feb so unlikely to see anything scheduled for while.

    Another Brexit petition which has gone over 100k ends 18th Nov and they announced yesterday it will be debated on 19th Nov which will probably go unnoticed as well.
