LOL. British house I lived was pants. Tiny rooms, pathetic bathroom, horrid kitchen, badly built. Hospital housing I lived in from brand new - rubbish. Badly designed, walls so thin could hear flatmate across hall snoring, shoddy construction, tiny rooms, tiny bathroom, useless kitchen, no lounge, pathetic storage, water heater that broke, lift that trapped people between floors.

Rubbish. I was registered with an NHS dentist and had to pay. It was cheaper than a private dentist, but still expensive. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=is+nhs+dental+treatment+free Does UK have free dental care? You can receive free NHS dental treatment if you're entitled to or named on: a valid NHS tax credit exemption certificate. a valid HC2 certificate – which is available for people on a low income. a valid maternity exemption certificate.

Good reason for moving quickly. My embassy didn't even know I was in LOS, unless immigration told them.

Other than sending a bill to the embassy my only advice is to do it old Thai style. Put body in a sealed box with drain hole for the fluid ( and to release the gases ), and leave it there till whoever is denying the cremation makes a move to resolve the situation. Depending on the importance of the deceased, they left the body in the house for up to a year before cremation. I read that somewhere, but don't remember name of book.

I don't need to tolerate your insults. Welcome to my ignore list.

Enjoy your illusions while you may.

You seem to be one sided in your criticism. While the Tories may not have done a good job it doesn't mean Labour were competent. Absolutely it is on the former government as well.

I agree, but it was 22 years of it, not just 12. Don't ignore the uselessness of New Labour. I was there, remember.

LOL. The crime of New Labour was that it could have done amazing things for the people of the UK with 2 large majorities and wasted it on Iraq. Gordon wasted at least 6 billion quid on the NHS alone. British people deserved better.

In London I worked with a nurse that lived in Scotland. She took the train north every weekend.

If it actually becomes non partisan, rather than a platform for anti conservatives, good luck to Musk. However, I'll never find out myself as there are not enough hours in the day for me to be on a different chat forum as well as this one and still have a life.

I could add something useful, but it would all be negative and somewhat scornful of those that buy property as an "investment" opportunity, rather than as a home ( which in the opinion of many is the cause of the house prices in NZ rising to insane levels ), so I will not.

I can't help with the US embassy, but my signature was witnessed by the consular official in NZ embassy. Surely that is why we have to pay for such?

Is any government elected by an actual majority of potential voters? Perhaps Australia where the law says voters must vote, but other wise usually a minority of votes as many never vote.

I think we disagree on some things, but we are together on that. I don't think people that claim we live in a democracy have any idea what a real democracy is. Are country's that have Democracy in their names actually democratic? I think not. Far as I'm concerned it's only a label to differentiate us from countries that are openly dictatorships.

I care nothing for people that have "concern" about people in other countries, as long as they don't DO anything about it, and how many that have "concern" ever do anything about it, beyond a few coins in a collecting box for charity? It's like the climate change warriors that demonstrate about it and drive to the airport in a petrol car and fly to a far away country to sit in the sun and get <deleted>. As for being conservative, the leftists have gone so far left that moderate liberals are "conservative" in their beliefs.

Everything is a good idea till it isn't. It might start there, but it won't end there.

I think you love Big Brother with your support for it. Ever considered moving to China?

and what could possibly go wrong with that? Have you actually looked at the mess of wires above you in the streets, or fiber optic cables that have trees growing around them?

Last time I visited the UK I bought a travel card- think it's called Oyster- at Heathrow. Used on buses and trains/ underground. I paid cash to load the card.

It's happening in China, NOW. Get a grip yourself.

I never keep all my cash on me in one place ( and it stays in my pants after I take them off - no chance of leaving it behind ), and if they steal my wallet, they don't get a card that allows them access to my bank account to drain it before I can get to the bank. Pay wave, a gift to thieves.

As usual, "netizens" commenting on things they know nothing about. Nurses wearing short skirts are schoolboys wet dreams, nothing more.

Load of rubbish about nothing IMO. Every nurse I saw in a Thai hospital wore long pants. Is there anywhere now where nurses wear skirts of any length? Local hospital nurses wear scrubs.

I agree with that, but the people to ask are the clerks at the amphur office. They will know, compared to opinions on here.
