IMO - This has been the best April Fool prank since ...

Maximum pension is 2/3 of final salary, so he/she must have been earning 150,000 a year. There are not many police officers earning so much - maybe Deputy Chief Constable, or Commander ranks in the Met.

It's their ghost-white skin and weird pink eyes that puts me off albanians.

That's in seine?!

The police investigation was unsuccessful - they had nothing to go on.

Made me laugh at the end.

I expect that this is the only correct advice she could be given, as these speed traps/cameras seem to be locally administered. I have had a few speeding fines over the years. Each time I (well, my wife - as the car is in her name) received a letter containing the location/date/time/speed. I don't recall whether there was a photo. Generally, I am a law abiding driver. My only excuse for breaking the law is that some highways seem to have variable speed limits (120/80/60) which are not very well posted, and not easily understood. For example: 60kph in a school zone at 19:00hrs. My attitude is: Pay the fine and just accept it as part of the overall cost of the journey.

I have the same problem as the OP. Your idea sounds like a great solution, I will try it. Thanks!

We all know that the justice system in this country is FUBAR. A 13 year old is raped but the police are not motivated to act - maybe waiting for an "incentive". My first thought is - where is the father of this child? And (in the absence of lawful justice) maybe he should arrange some "justice" of his own.

Sometimes it's more advantageous to allow suspects to leave the country. Thaksin, Yingluk, and Boss come to mind.

A photo of the cat and a nice message on the vet's facebook page.

More than half a century ago.

Doesn't sound "nice" to me.

And the Phuket News article has the same photo as the OP. We are not permitted to post links to Phuket News.

If it was self defence then it wasn't murder.

A golden oldie ...

Glad to see our taxes being put to good use.

And, if he doesn't win, what an auspicious date for an insurrection.

It's the same photo, just reversed ...

Would it be possible (and less expensive) to book your return flights to the UK then book separate flights UK/France in between those dates. I.E. - Thailand to UK - UK to France - France back to UK - UK to Thailand. The UK to France return can be a cheap ticket and not too much lost if cancelled.

Toyota ran a red light according to the full article.

This is the Q&A, Ask the Consular Team forum, but I don't think the consular team are still reading it, although (AFAIK) it was them that started it. Nothing more recent than 2020 on its pages. EDIT: Correction, the consular team has posted recently.

Kids? 36 and 38 years old.
