Perhaps you should try to read correctly my response to the original poster and the simple fact of his eligibility for NHS treatment, if he does not have an address in the UK. I did not at any time make aspersions regarding PENSION adjustments. What is wrong with you people, you do not read the the multiple replies from people who are only trying to help a poster with a genuine question and then you jump down our collective throats and stab us in the back because you have completely missed the original post and gone off on a tangent entirely of your own making. My original response was that if the poster sold his house in the UK he would lose immediate help from the NHS in an emergency and would have to pay for treatment because he would be deemed non resident and would remain so until he proves by rent or purchase of a home and payment of council tax, water, and electricity that he has been resident for at least 6 months. when registering with a GP surgery you are asked for an address and the appropriate documents for proof of who you are and where you live, most surgeries are run on an area basis so they want to know if you live in theirs before registering you. I did NOT at any time mention PENSIONS. DO you understand now or are we still talking to pork I see no point in any more discussion with you so will not respond further.

Renting is sufficient to confirm that the person does live in the UK as long as a council tax bill is provided with the application to register BUT the person will still have to wait at least 6 months before registering with a GP surgery so if the poster needs urgent treatment he / she will not get it without paying for it.

Yes it is, if you do not have an address with your name on a council tax document in the UK you will find it very difficult to sign on with a doctor because you will have to declare that you are non resident and that’s a whole new ball game.

Why do you think Rabbit is a poor man’s food? Caught in the wild they are 100% organic, full of the correct vitamins ( unlike much of the factory farmed Beef, Pork and Chickens masquerading as GOOD food ) and delicious to eat in different ways Rabbit has been a staple and in many cases a lifesaver forever and still is to this day in various countries across the world, there is nothing poor man about it, and whilst a dead rabbit is not good for the Rabbit it sure as hell is good for us humans In the UK it was the norm to see Rabbit hanging up in butcher shops and the only thing that stopped it was the widespread use by landowners of the heinous and cruel man made disease myxomatosis, this caused pain and suffering where the animal went blind and started rotting from the inside, this could take up to 14 days of acute pain before the animal died.

You have hit it in one. if you keep it you can use the NHS easily but if you sell and you need the NHS you will have to pay for any treatment. You probably already know that the pension is crap so anything that adds to it can only be good. Pensions rises are not passed to you if you do not have an address in the UK. my advice as a retired property landlord is to keep it because if you shoot yourself in the foot the only thing left to you is a limp

Depends on where the brain is located, shoe leather is cheap, for others a condom covers it, but both items wear out leaving some vulnerable to brain damage.

Simple, check at immigration to see they have the documents appertaining to insurance and if they do not then send them home the airlines will soon deal with it if they have fly them home for free.

Because it is the responsible thing to do especially as full insurance cover is very cheap when placed against the cost of medical treatment without insurance. Why should others contribute to those costs when the cheap Charlie who travels without it doesn't give a smokin turd about it or the reputations of those who do. If you are a traveller you have a responsibility and a duty to yourself and every other traveller but of course as has been espoused by one or two others ahead of my reply there will always be some moron who believes it is everyone else’s duty to take care of them when their personal s—-t hits the fan.

Certainly something dark

IF this was even remotely the reason ( and we should not speculate ) are you saying you would be happy to disfigure a woman who has been your wife or Girlfriend because of it, instead of discussing with her why? Some so called men regularly beat up their partners largely because they blame them for their own immaturity doing it time and time again no matter what medical or other attempts are made to stop them but at least they are given the chance to correct themselves.

Perhaps you should learn to read correctly and try to understand the written word, please do it slowly as you obviously do not understand that no one is on a rampage, simply expressing a proven point of view. Try getting into a taxi around 7 in the morning to go to the airport and they refuse to turn on the metre instead giving you a price that does not include the first leg of the highway. But of course I realise that your comments are born entirely of ignorance in stating that you have never got into a taxi where the metre was not working, firstly how would you know if it was working properly, secondly I did not say the metres were not working, I mentioned a trick that the drivers use, one amongst many. One can only hope that your ignorance will not lead you into riding in a taxi which becomes involved in an accident and you find that the person driving it is NOT the person registered to drive it resulting in him having no insurance to pay your hospital fees. i have no wish to respond further to you as you are quite obviously a lost cause with little if any understanding of the points made or the principal espoused. Good luck in your taxi journeys with an always correct metre reading, what is it now 35 baht, 37baht, or 39 baht per kilometre or whatever the number is when they turn the metre on, the honest ones will have the correct amount as instructed in law by the government.

Perhaps you would care to enlighten me on just what the majority DO comply with, the rules are there and rules are to be broken so the Thai taxi drivers break them completely. Over the twenty two years of being in Thailand and the extensive use of taxis I can safely say that for every one driver who is honest and gains a sizeable tip from me for being so, there are hundreds who do all they can to overcharge. One trick is to stop for the toilet when coming off the highway but leaving the meter running just to add a meagre 20 to 30 baht. whilst to we westerners this is a paltry sum there is a point of principle within, and if they get away with one they will get away with all and scam considerable amounts during the week. Be honest do the job properly charge me the correct amount for the journey taken and get at least 50% more as a tip, but this of course to a Thai taxi driver IS rocket science.

Thankfully I am 100% never able to get past the first two words of such drivel and that’s just the headline

Oh noooooo. Will someone just give him the click bait championship right now PLEASE, it might just shut him up for the rest of the year and give us a bit of peace from such inane posts. 555

What ever it is they will charge for it with each ride but will not comply
