Yes I manged to exchange them at a exchange booth attached to a bank. The main reason of my post is to warn anybody who has these notes to exchange them as soon as possible.

Have no idea if i am in the right forum but here goes with a warning to people. This afternoon I took 200 pounds 10x20 in MINT CONDITION paper sterling notes to the Bangkok bank in Nong Khai Tesco Lotus branch to exchange them for Thai baht They refused this transaction and I was informed that the policy of the Bangkok bank is to no longer accept sterling paper notes, only the new ones made out of polymer.. On further investigation the paper notes cease to be legal tender on the 30th September 2022.

Thanks to all. Which is the quietest for bedroom both inside and out

Just a good reliable very quiet unit for bedroom Have got a Econo 3 18000 btu evaporator in living room coupled to a Mr slim 18000 compressor and very happy with it. The matching long throw adjustable width Mr slim 18000 btu evaporator circuit burnt out and nobody up here could repair it so it got binned. Can you buy separate compressors and if so where.

Sorry have no idea where to put this topic but here goes. Anybody know if this air con is any good?? https://th.sharp/en/products/air-care/ah-x13yebh-sharp-j-tech-inverter-13000-btu?v=1549

Interesting I was not aware of this. I worked all my life up to 60. In total I had 44 years fully paid up contributions and was contracted out for a maximum of 10 years working for MB encouraged at the time by Thatchers government. It states serps is £10.17 per week but because |I was contracted out I loose £7.17 of that. It also states that serps was applicable to earnings from 6th April 1978 to 5th April 2002. After this it was replaced by something called the second state pension.

Even without being contracted out I do not think anybody on the lower state pension receives anywhere near that amount. They can tell you anything they want on the phone so I have written to them by registered post. I have asked them to please clarify why the incorrect amount of £11622 has been deducted when my state pension amounts to £5367,70 a year which is a difference of £6254.30 a year as per your calculations. I will post the results of this letter if or when i get a reply to help others in the same situation. Thank you to all those that have contributed to this thread

Like you I have had no pension increase for 10 years whilst living in Thailand. I also know nobody or have even heard of anyone that receives 11.622 pounds a year UK state pension. Thats 223.50 a week I wish. Just were they have got this figure from god knows.

Hi thank you for your input. Its what I suspected. Its very hard to make right.. Having a devious mind do you think it has been done deliberately, knowing full well how hard it is to correct to artificially inflate the figures they are actually paying in pensions. We are after all one of the lowest paid in Europe and would probably be the lowest if it was not for this.

Have just had a letter fron the HMRC for 2022-2023 informing me of my tax code. It states I recieve 11622 State pension (I wish) which in reality I get just over half of this amount. Has any other citizen of the UK recieved similar and if so what did they do to correct the error.
