And which shops you buy from?

Not at all. As quoted elsewhere, 'Not when I have Thai Baht on My debit card.

Not when I have Thai Baht on my UK debit card.

I use my own countries debit card. Never had a problem, and don't anticipate any.

Could it possibly be, someone is being very economical with the truth?!

With many goods, I believe its called shrinkflation.

Which 39 articles might they be?!

Last time I used UK coins was over 20 years ago, although having been back there twice in the meantime. Still a bloody nightmare!

Not forgetting, I don't see many in my dealings, as I use a card in most cases.

Thai coins are simple. 1,2,5 and 10. Try UK coins, they are more than an annoyance, they are a bloody nightmare!

Tourists! I believe they are referred to as Grockles, where I come from?

If nobody can steal your money, please explain how these scams work. It would be interesting to know?

Life gets tee-jus, don't it!

Maybe, but the King has cancer!

Plenty of angry monkey's about, without going to rain forests.

If I were you, I would look elsewhere than Google for information. It is not always your friend.

Can't tar them all with the same brush, there's too many of them.😁

Like any other country, the UK has its good and bad points. Agree, I am happy to have been born and grown up there, can't and would never deny my heritage. Unfortunately, it is not now, and hasn't been for a long time, the country I remember from my younger days. I can honestly say I do not miss it, and have no intention of ever returning. Reading the UK news is very depressing and that is reason enough.

I have to admit my knowledge of British history is somewhat limited. History was not my strong point and still isn't. Accepted that the UK has been invaded by many, and in fact still is, encouraged by the present government no less. The UK has had a great past, it's the future which has a problem. I'm just pleased I am not associated with it.

Not bad for a small country. It could so easily have gone the other way?

Unfortunately, the King cannot speak his mind on these matters. It would be classed as an interference in government matters. I do believe a UK King lost his head for doing such.

It certainly appears to be in your case!

More to the point, he is not virtuous!

GOOD. That would save the UK millions. Bye, Bye.

Can I correct you on the Duchy of Lancaster? I do believe all income from said Duchy goes to the treasury, and the King is given income to cover his and other Royals expenses for travel and accommodation for the usual duties they perform.
