I am 78 years old and on a state pension which is probably less than yours but I put money aside to pay for my travel insurance which all comes out of my state pension. And just to enlighten you it is known as managing one’s money to achieve the things one wants in life without denigrating others or being a burden to others, ( you millionaire lot indeed ) and as for entitlement, some of us get off our fat A’s and do, but other just find it easier to do nothing more than bitch about their self created lot, if you want better you should DO better.

I agree with you 98% with the other 2% being taken up by the reality that insurance companies apart from bankers are probably the most corrupt companies on the planet, every action they take is underhand and designed to remove themselves from the responsibility that we all trustingly pay them for. I myself travel with £10,000,000 cover BUT trying to get a definitive answer from them when it comes to ALL of the things they will cover and take responsibility for is not easily forthcoming, so one lives in fear that in the event of something untoward happening one’s insurance company will be for armed with a way of getting out of it that it did not impart at the time of taking out the insurance. I have commented here in the past about travellers duty to themselves and others regarding 100% foolproof insurance but on reflection I would dearly love to know how one can find it.

Sadly it is one of Amazons many anomalies, I like a large cup of coffee to sit in store to drink it but it is an impossible request, resulting in a blank stare and no matter how I explain and pointing to the large mugs they have on top of the coffee machine my request always results in a complete disregard and a small cup is delivered, WHY? I have not got a clue ! Apparently the large mugs are only for tea ????? And so to get round this I order2 cups and request an empty mug which when the coffee arrives gets filled up to bewildered gapes from staff who find it impossible to comprehend my actions to obtain a large cup of coffee. Quit obviously the brain dead moronic jobs worth who trains the staff suffers from the same lack of understanding. I to have knocked Amazon coffee on the head and gone elsewhere, which is sad really because the coffee is not bad and it is not rocket science to put a little more water in a bigger cup is it AMAZON

My opening statement in my reply to to the original poster said “ someone is bound to knock this” and you did, it went on to say that it was the way I did but it may have changed now, which you missed on both point obviously to suit your own agenda. You state that the IMO have nothing to do with it, really! It was my understanding that one had to go to immigration with evidence of residence which they then gave you the correct documents to present to the DLT in order to get the licences. I have absolutely NO confusion in my words because that was the way I had to do it to get my licences, however I do feel that perhaps the confusion is entirely yours because reading your reply it appears that you are saying one goes to the DLT first to obtain your licence and then go to immigration to prove residence, Really ! If that were the case do you honestly think that anyone would trouble themselves with going to immigration when once they have the licence WHY bother with doing anything more. Perhaps you could benefit from a proof reading course so that you may be able to properly read replies instead of picking out bits that suit you but missing all of the salient point. In this I retain my original point that I did all that I did before Covid and it may have changed now but as I have not heard of any major change I think that the process will be exactly the same now as then. So just to clarify the way I did it. I first went to a hospital to get a medical report I then took that report along with a letter of residence to immigration who then gave me the correct documents needed for the DLT. I then took all of those documents to the DLT who then gave me my licences, It was then that the issuing officer told me that both car and motorcycle could be on one licence. Right or wrong that was what I was told but as I had both applications I was given two licences.

At the root

Someone is bound to knock this but when I applied for both licences I did submit two applications to Udon Thani immigration but when I went on to register them I was questioned as to why I did it when one would have got me both motorcycle and car on the same licence card. This was before Covid so it may have changed in more recent years but I have not heard of any changes, However it may pay you to contact various departments to clarify before you commit. Departments such as the Thai consulate, or immigration in Bangkok. Interpretation differs across Thailand and you may have come up against someone who interpretes for gain instead of in the correct manner. As for using an agency WHY! If an agency can do it so can you. DIY is a great learning curve and immigration can be very helpful if you are respectful to them.

Surely if they are committing sex crimes they should be arrested, and it should not matter who carries out the arrest

Once again in Bankruptcy just like the 70’s all over again. When will the British public learn that voting for Labour means high taxation and hardship for every household in the country, this time it took them barely a week to begin frightening investors and now six months later those same investors are so scared they will not invest at all and companies both large and small are shedding jobs like rain, because of excessive taxation with at least one closing down a business that has been running for a hundred plus years. They have even instigated a legal land grab by making farmers pay inheritance tax on farm land knowing full well that the average small holding is valued much more than a million £ thereby placing it into an inheritance tax situation that the majority cannot afford to pay so the government snatches it all for free, echo’s of Stalin abound. But of course the nay sayers and those who believe entirely in Labour rhetoric will not accept the above, perhaps that’s why they decide to move to another country, you know who you are and I hope that when your pension gets thrashed by taxation under Labour you remember who did it

My girlfriend told me her brother has tried3 times now to get into the police academy but despite passing the test each time he was not accepted because he did not have the amount needed. I make no assumption here only passing on information given to me from a person I have been with for 7 years and who is very honest.

Who daily threatens the lives of any passenger he carries in his bus and every other road user who is anywhere near him on the road. Take him off the road and lock him up immediately.

Radiation from the TV combined with the same from the WiFi is frying your brain, one of them has to be moved or at least as someone has already mentioned go wired. You are obviously receptive to radiation in all its forms so check also if something you wear, sit on or walk on is causing an electro magnetic field in your body ie static electricity. If when you touch a earth grounded metal item like a shower water pipe, metal kettle or whatever you get a little spark or tingling in your hand for a millisecond it is static and will attract radiation which your room currently has an over abundance of.

Really ! I live in rented accommodation in the west and I will be 78 this month, I have a 32 year old girlfriend who loves me deeply, does everything for me and wants to do more, never asks for money, clothes, shoes or anything else. She say's I am a handsome older man so I bought her a pair of glasses and she insists they are perfectly clear not clouded in the least I am not a millionaire, far from it, mind you I do eat at the higher end of the organic food chain !!!!!

Well yes, they said they thought about being the hub for telling the truth but it was a lie.

One can only hope fervently that no one from around the world wants to learn English.

Why Not, they deserve all the bad press we pensioners can give them, they are all a bunch of thieves with one difference, the Tories just ignore everything but Labour covers it up by paying lip service and then lying by saying they make it up in different ways but never do. Politicians and civil servants get the best state pension payout in the UK and it is index linked
