Does your dad have money in any other bank accounts here? If so, he may be able to show that his total available money did not fall below 800,000 during the first 3 months.

Current UK pension is 221.20 GBP (11,502 pa). If you delay your claim by 5 months, until the annual adjustment is made, you will have lost approximately 4,800 GBP that you could have been receiving. If the pension increase next year is, for example, 10 GBP per week you will gain 520 GBP each year until you pass. So you will break even and start to profit after about 9 years. If the increase is 20 GBP per week, break even will be around 4.5 years. I hope my maths is correct.

My sincere apologies to all Kiwis.

Your 90 day report is due 90 days after your entry to Thailand (notification of a foreigner being in the Kingdom for 90 days). Maybe your agent was talking about your TM 30 notification (notification by the house master, of a foreigner residing at an address), which some Immigration offices require every time you return to Thailand after being abroad.

A duck goes into a DIY store and selects a box of duct tape. The cashier asks: "How would you like to pay?" Duck says: "Put it on my bill." ... I'll get my coat.

If the car was in full sunshine during that time, and he passed out drunk, it could be a combination of sunstroke and suffocation. Similar to the awful reports of deaths of kids being left in school buses.

That sounds like self defence.

If the driver knew that the station attendant was holding on to the truck, but acted recklessly regarding his safety, IMO that would be an assault.

If you were working abroad during any of those "missing" years, you can pay Class 2 voluntary contributions - very much cheaper than Class 3. The rates for the 2024 to 2025 tax year are: £3.45 a week for Class 2. £17.45 a week for Class 3.

Class 2 gets you the same benefits, just cheaper. If you were contracted out of SERPS at some stage you may have been able to buy an extra 2 years to make up for some of it.

I remember my very first driving lesson (50+ years ago). Pulling away from the parked position and joining the traffic: Mirror, signal, shoulder check, maneuver. But, in all honesty, I'll admit to a making few mistakes in those 50+ years. Thankfully, just close misses and nothing worse a couple of angry honks!

I expect there are many skeletons hidden in the closets of those old fossils (politicians).

The Official Monster Raving Loony Party is campaigning on the motto "The only wasted vote is one that isn't used". Their manifesto is: We are fighting this Election on the basis of CHANGE..

I hope you are correct, but I fear that the "old guard" are still in control and will quash any attempt to reform/modernize this Kingdom.
