A quick, 30 seconds search online. Same day, today, London to Liverpool.

They clearly did not shop around. The first tickets I bought for 22 years. 2 Brighton to Victoria returns. £7.50 each. Bought online. Soooooo much cheaper than buying at the station. For travel, always look online. It's simple and cheaper.

Some good points. The issue with Brexit, through no fault of anyone, was the timing. Soon after Brexit the biggest health issue for over a century occurred. Worldwide economies were struck down. Factories closed, output down, governments paying out billions to help the public but collecting minimal tax back, retail sales collapsing......everyone gets the point. Then the war in Ukraine and the energy crisis caused by it. Had there been a clean run of a few years following Brexit we would have had a clear view of the effects. As we didn't, we don't. Brexiteers and Renainers can argue until they are blue in the face but, at the end of the day, nothing can be proved either way.

I returned to UK after a 22 year sabbatical in 2019. I was given the doom snd gloom out look by some. To be honest, nothing much has changed at all. Sure, there are a few foreign languages being spoken on the street, there are certain groups of people that deem it necessary to demand equal rights (when mostbof the time they get them anyway) and things that we thought normal back in the day (you mentioned clipping kids around the ear) that in some eyes is deemed abuse. The job market is good, prices are a bit high at the moment but manageable to those willing to get off their a$#ses and work. As has always been the way, keep yourself to yourself (with family and friends of course), don't worry about what others do (unless it directly affects you), don't worry about what others can earn or buy that you can't and you'll be fine. I hope you get your medical issues sorted. Sure the NHS are having a few issues right now but it's still the best healthcare you can get.

The life and soul of any party. That's for sure. ????????????????

He has already said the photo needs to be sent by post.

We will never know. Corbyn's Brexit policy was all over the place. Starmer only ever criticised Covid policies after the event without offering his own ideas and now he and his front bench spend most of their resources going over and over events after they've been done and dusted. Some elections coming up in May. Labour might, only might, come up with some ideas and let people know what they are and how they'll pay for them I truly hope they do. Iw will be nice to weigh up their policies before I decide where to put my X.

The OP is asking about extensions based on marriage. Therefore, 400k in the bank for 2 months before application. Many immigration offices require the money to remain in the bank during condlsideration period, which is usually about a month after application. After that, do what you want with the money. Just remember to get the balance back up to 400k 2 months prior to next application.

I guess you are in Isaan. I think you'll find approval now comes from Khon Kaen.

Not me. I have made no such posts.

News Flash Asesn now poster has a humour bypass.

Exactly my point. Polls should be done across a wide demographic of the population. The demographics should also be published. The problem is, a poll amongst people who don't have issues, have little to complain about and just get on with life, would not have the desired effect.

An article based on a poll with no demographics. No hint of how many people polled either. I've just got back from the pub. 100% of people having fun, drinking and spending money. None cold and none hungry. Not once did I hear anything about the economy or hardship.

That's interesting. However, it is illegal. Only takes an over zealous hotel owner/worker/manager to make a call in order to make a few extra Kip. Laos is cheap enough. If I were the OP I'd get 2 rooms. No hardship to sleep separately for a couple of nights.

Had our bathroom tiled with cement as an adhesive. 10 years now. Still no issues.

A poster on a forum for expats in Thailand Vs Gov UK? I know who I'd rather take advice from.

From Gov.UK website regarding travel advice for Lao: "The Lao government prohibits sexual relationships between foreign and Lao nationals, except when the two parties have been married in accordance with Lao family law. Permission for marriage or engagement to a Lao national must be submitted in a formal application to the Lao authorities. Penalties for engaging in prohibited sexual contact or failing to register a relationship range from US$500 to US$5,000 and may involve imprisonment. It is not unknown for Lao authorities to demand entry into hotel rooms or guesthouses where they suspect this regulation is being broken."

There you go then. It is they that did not report it or suppressed any announcement for security purposes.

No. I have always maintained Johnson reported it. I have never suggested he did so publicly.

I have never implied what you suggest. I pointed out that certain groups of the media have known about it for some time. Hence the documentary. I also pointed out it is, therefore, the media you should be questioning for not reporting it sooner.

The story was realeased about 8 hours ago. That seems to be the average on Google. When he first reported to the media is something I don't know but long enough ago for a documentary to be filmed.

Oh dear. I've tried to explain. You are obviously having an off day.

Need I say no more. ????????????

Well. The report is in a BBC documentary that has already been filmed. They must have known about it at time of filming or else it would not have been included in said documentary. I believe it is the BBC you should be questioning.

The article is promoting a BBC documentary. How long does it take to film, narrate, edit and broadcast a documentary? I don't know. However, it is quite clear that Johbson reported the threat some time ago.
