Today, I retrieved a package by visiting Chaiyaphruek Post Office. Apparently, if my phone number had been on the package, the postman/woman would have phoned me to agree the fee prior to delivery. I'm not quibbling about the charge, but I've never had to pay it with previous identical packages. The post office informed me that the fee represented "7%." If my maths is correct, then 100% would equate to THB500, which I think was the gram weight of the package. Is this fee something new?

According to Morningstar, Jason Windsor, the CEO of Aberdeen Asset Management company, doesn't hold any shares in his company. Is anyone able to throw any light on this? I'm tempted to invest in this company (it boasts a very impressive dividend yield) but, I'm concerned that a CEO doesn't have "skin in the game."

My Thai girlfriend is in receipt of a (very small) UK NHS pension, which she became entitled to following the demise of her UK husband. Last year, she got her village headman (who also happens to be her brother) to sign the PoL certificate. The certificate was rejected insisting the requirement of an endorsement from a notary public. This was subsequently complied with and the certificate was accepted.

Which clinic?

You will find that the usual endorsement required is certification from a notary public. These are frequently located in solicitors' offices. Cost: circa THB 1,000.

Oh dear. I'm still OK, continuing to use the Edge browser. You said yesterday, that you were asked to "Trust this device." I wasn't even asked to do this. It's got to be a glitch at Lloyds end.

Resolved!!! All by itself. Amazing! I logged on this morning, expecting to be given a OTP --- but was taken straight to the website. I logged off, and on again just to see if it was the same, and it was. I guess it must have been a glitch at Lloyds, and that someone at their end has just decided to rectify it.

Many thanks NowNow for your very comprehensive reply.

OK, scrolling back through my AIS messages, I see that on renewal I paid THB2,500 for 4Mbps for 12 months. Does this help?

As I said, I'm not very pc literate --- but thank you for your reply. I did as you suggested and the SMS which came back was in Thai. My Thai lady told me that basically, the message said that I had very fast internet speed for "anywhere", but gave no indication of the numbers which you mentioned.
