But any money you have coming in like a UK state pension or private pensions won't be any use to you with Smile Bank "Smile" is of no use anyway unless the applicant is a UK resident.

Did you read that link? That is information for foreign non-UK residents opening accounts while they are temporarily in the UK, not for British citizens who are non-resident in the UK but living overseas. Just in case I misread it, an indication of which UK banks will currently permit new accounts opened remotely, i.e. online, for Britons, non-resident in the UK and living overseas.

If you buy a street address in Poole they won't know it's a mailing address. Until and unless they ask for verification with utility bills!

Basically, that's what I said, except that now it is impossible to open a new account for a new customer unless they are UK resident. If anyone knows of any UK bank that will open an account for non-UK residents, remotely, I'd be delighted to know which because I need one again!

I mean what store? Big C and Lotus show out of stock for me. Just checked my order, didn't realise that a specific store was nominated - Big C Extra, Rama 4.

He wasn't over the limit so what was there to admit to when he did say that he'd had a couple of glasses? I hope that you're not "too cowardly" to admit that you have no idea whether he was drunk or not.

It wasn't black!

That was my point, Google Translate, not your ar_se sounds.

From where please? I ordered online for a Bangkok delivery, no idea where it comes from specifically, does it matter if what you want is delivered?

I know that there is a difference! "Having a usable UK address" on it's own, if you are not UK resident does not make you UK resident for the purpose of opening a UK banks' account opening regulations and all UK banks require current applicants for accounts to be UK resident. You're getting away with it and good luck to you, I hope it continues.

Which parts of my comments have "failed"? The parts where I claimed that no one has been able to provide any empirical information that the hospital's blood test was wrong? You are aware that he has been charged with drunk driving, regardless, yes?

That would override a blood alcohol test that's already been done? I don't think so.

Yes. From the OP... "The South Bangkok court accepted charges of drunk driving with the court accepting that by refusing a roadside DUI test there was a presumption of drunkenness. He has also been charged with negligent driving causing serious injury and damage".

They've all gone to the trouble of going through qualifying, why would they not bother to turn up?

I never get one single ad. Can't tell you why, though.

Available right now for online delivery, just ordered one.

Not haters but Truth Tellers. There you go, the first of the completely irrational posters.

With which he has been charged... "The South Bangkok court accepted charges of drunk driving..."

I’ve had a jolly good laugh at seeing your facile comment eviscerated by Richard Smith and which saved me the job of compiling a similar reply. " If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck ,it probably is a duck " I'm glad that it amused you. Do you have any information about the actual blood/alcohol test that you can share or are you just posting, to use your words, another facile comment for the sake of it? And I think you need to look up the meaning of "eviscerate" as he sure didn't anywhere near do that.

Choice. Why did you rich uncle have a farm and a Timex?

Did your uncle ever consider the investment aspect of his Timex, i.e. none, versus the future value of Rolex watches? Many do and the chances of a Rolex "breaking" are fairly remote.

The haters will be here shortly ranting abut him being a rich Thai so deserves to lose it and demanding to know how he could afford it and whether he's paid tax on all his assets. There will probably be at least one suggesting that the Rolex was a fake and that it's all an insurance fraud. Fill yer boots!

That's exactly what I have posted, they're lucky. That situation can alter at any time the banks' decide to fully implement their own UK residency regulations.

I am sure you do. Not. I do. I know is that the vast majority, if not all, registered, licenced and regulated insurers are trustworthy regarding claims. If they weren't they wouldn't be able to remain in business for long. What I also know is that there are many claims made by policy holders who are decidedly not trustworthy and it is those people who cause insurers to examine the veracity of every claim in order to avoid paying fraudsters.

Something the OP wasn't asking about!
