That is incorrect, some people may get away with it but to have a UK bank account the account holder has to be a UK resident. as the OP has just found out. A UK address that it not the account holder's actual address doesn't necessarily qualify if push comes to shove.

You do not need to prove your new address to BBL for an existing account, you just tell them what your new address is.

I'm not condoning his driving but why shouldn't he walk free with a few points, a fine and maybe a compensation order? He wasn't over-the-limit drunk, didn't kill anyone and his charge was only reckless driving causing injury. Is there a mandatory jail sentence for that traffic offence?

What evidence do you have that that is the case here?...Sad.

Two-door coupé Bentleys aren't exactly limos that would normally have a driver.

Why? Do you have any information confirming your assertion of his level of intoxication being over the legal limit?

so they are not worried about pregnant men being a health risk ? That sort of banal stupidity hasn't really got here...yet. I think that their distinction, though, was between pregnant women and non-pregnant women whose risks are, allegedly, less.

Probably not, but, because the meeting would be held on private premises, the owner(s, JP) can make their own rules about conduct during the meeting and would be within their rights to not permit recording if they wanted to.

not much humor isn't?? There's a big difference between claimed 'humour' (when called out about it) and deliberately, but lamely, trying to take the pi_ss by misstating what was actually reported (Thai bashing).

While we are talking about misunderstanding words - he wouldn't have gotten chicken at all if he ordered Khao Man Kai, just cooked rice with egg The original Thai article referenced chicken/gai throughout, not egg/kai. Probably an error on the part of whoever posted the OP, not the report.

huh.. over sixties and pregnant??? It did not say "over 60s and pregnant", it said the over 60s plus pregnant women.

Make up your mind! "Nearly two times the price" would be nearly 100% more, not 60%! 60% is just over half as much again, not nearly two times the price.

Where was it reported that was what happened here?

...that there may have been another vehicle involved, as per the OP?

I don't know why you would suggest that the airbag had been disconnected.

On the face of it, there's no reason why you couldn't get a bank loan, whether you could get one for just B10k would be up to your bank. If you've only been here five minutes, though, that would not help. Why have you not asked them, no one here knows how you stack up financially or what your bank's requirements are, do they?

The points come into effect when he's been found guilty of the charges, not when the accident happened.

What? "Pay up" for what?

Ever heard of a figure of speech? Of course I have but on Thaivisa most posters who use the term are not using it as a figure of speech, they irritatingly use it as a factual statement and, so far, with this case, most have been wrong with their "we all know" suggestions.

Please give me just 1 halfway reasonable explanation, why something as straightforward as a blood-alcohol test takes 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 days for results to be known. I underwent the very same test in Australia at 3am with the results coming back at 5:30am the same day. For f#@s sake get real just once for a change and take your rose-coloured glasses off. As long as the results are known what does it matter if they take a couple of days? He was tested, that is what is important. He was arrested, that is what is important. He has been charged with initial offences, that is what is important. How quickly a blood/alcohol test was done in Australia is completely irrelevant for. to quote you, f#@s sake.

You think that you know, "we all" do not. So far most posters have been wrong!

From his post He has plenty of funds but is not prepared to tie it up in a very low interest bearing account with only 50% available to use for 7 months of the year. Exactly, he didn't say that it "bothers" him, he said that he wasn't prepared to.

WRL's website says that they are brokers.
