  1. ????...... So you cannot see how the UK has moved on, 86% has a passport because they NEED one to go abroad for holidays, etc. Yes things can change, UK folk have to wait a lot longer for a passport , NOW.... I think you are blowing things way out of proportion, which I expected... Here's a picture of my uncle, at a time of real poverty in London... But, folk now may not be able to splash out on an Indian takeaway, very expensive now.....????
  2. Obscured...
  3. 86% of UK folk hold a passport, how is that if the populace, according to you, is in poverty........? Do you need one to get into a food kitchen, is it mandatory to sign on at the dole office...?
  4. Most phone to make sure you are home, so they don't waste their time. Even Lazada and Shopee delivery agents phone to see if home....
  5. Well it won't have "Chinese spy rig" painted on the side, will it............????

    spanner size?

    You've never done a corroded thread one, then....?
  7. Using an agent like Key Visa Service saves all the headaches and travelling, all done by EMS post.......
  8. So did I, it was turned down at the interview..............????

    spanner size?

    I reckon the tap nut will be the same problem. My suggestion will cost may be 200bht, I have done a few for folk with my cheap fix....
  10. 8 years out of a battery here is amazing, even if your type of battery usage was ideal. Battery replacement in LOS is a biggish business, your area will have battery outlets, you can even use the Net to get a battery fitted at home. https://www.google.com/search?q=Chiang+Mai+car+battery+replacement&rlz=1C1CHBF_enTH1036TH1036&oq=Chiang+Mai+car+battery+replacement&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l2.22297j1j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
  11. We may not be here in the 2030s, plus, nobody knows what the future holds regarding anything in the 2030s, except death....????

    spanner size?

    At your DIY store, you can buy a replacement hose with a plastic floating/sliding finger spanner on it, cheap as chips, buy 2. The first one cut an end off to get the plastic finger spanner. Then cut the end off the one you want to remove. Slide the finger spanner up the hose you want to remove and see if it will undo with your fingers, if not, get about 12" of 1" plastic water pipe, cut slots in one end of the pipe, so the ears on the plastic spanner fits in it, now slide the pipe up the hose to locate the ears on the spanner and turn the pipe, if still tight glue a 90* on the other end of the pipe, job done. If you want to replace that plastic tap nut, cut more slots in the pipe to undo it, use it to tighten the new one...
  13. Bringing deaths into this subject is daft, you don't know what would happen if there were another referendum, which I doubt will happen anyway, unless the Lib Dems get in............ Which is as doubtful as another referendum.....
  14. In Thailand the 230v service cables are low, the Net and telephone are at the near same level on the pole. The hi-tension stuff are the 3 cables much higher up, you can see them in the OP photo on the right, and yes these are cover too.. Don't think the sub station supply cables are covered.
  15. I doubt the RTP are interested more in vaping than anything else. The smoking/vaping thing is a gov. Law that the RTP know about, and can act on, if they feel like it.....????
  16. Pay the 15bht a month for SMS messages for cash input and withdrawals from your account. But, a high ranking bank official can probably override anything..
  17. Dunno, but have a read here in English..... https://international.thailandpost.com/faq_cat/rates/?lang=en
  18. EMS air mail does, just checked mine from this morning, don't lose the P.O. receipt...
  19. A Thai wife now gets sod all from the husband's UK state pension.... If a Thai widow has paid N.I. in the UK, she can claim it when 65 years old, but only a % of 35 years, with a minimum of 7 years N.I. contributions. That is how I understand it....
  20. EMS will cost 250bht, I did it this morning, the bird made a mistake as I said "bor ems", I just swallowed it, basic Air Mail is about 50bht, which is all you need..
  21. I thought I got reprimanded and had to start again...........
  22. Unfortunately, means running around sorting it.....
