You said to have to go to Bangkok to find the food you want. That's incorrect. The fact that you go on family trips suggests you want to go. There's a big difference between "have to" and "want to".

Exactly my point. Ingredients cost the same regardless of how you cook them. I wouldn't use bottled sauce. I'd make my own using fresh tomatoes.

No need to go to Bangkok. I can't guarantee the Beaujolsis (maybe Tops or the off licence in town opposite Honda bike showroom) but, all other ingredients to create your meal are available in Buriram ,

Lamb is most definitely available in Buriram. I've always found OZ or NZ in Makro. Cooking native or foreign does not change the price of raw ingredients.

"Italian style" pizza consists of the base plus mozzarella, basil and tomato sauce. The rest, you just made that up.

So, if you cook top quality steak and chips, is that more expensive than cooking top quality steak Thai style? Is baked beans on toast more expensive than baked beans on rice?

I love posts like this. They always make me laugh. How do meat and veg become more costly just because they are going to be used in a foreign recipe? Fresh veg, pork, chicken, fish, herbs and seafood in fresh Thai markets are all good quality. Why is it not possible to create low cost foreign dishes with them?

They don't represent. They are not there to give advice, reject applications or issue any visas. They are a centre for receiving applications.

No need to find a language school if you are living in Thailand. Every time you go outside your home you are stepping into a,language school. Everyone you meet is a potential teacher. I learnt to speak a good level of conversational Thai by going out on everyday business and speaking, listening and watching. I learnt to read and write with a bunch of 4 year old kids in a Thai class.

It's taken you several posts to get the subject where you wanted it. All that time, and you are so out of touch. Brush up on your knowledge of immigration in UK, then come back with a sensible, accurate comment.

Can't miss them? A large percentage of illegals are EU nationals. Dare i say "white" EU nationals. They came prior to Brexit, worked without paying taxes, couldn't produce the forms to stay, and went under the radar. Unless you hear them speak, then ask them for proof of immigration papers, how could you not miss them? For that matter, how can't you miss any illegals? Do they look different to legals?

That old chestnut again. You clearly know nothing about succession in monarchy.

Taxing the working people wasn't in their taxation plans either. Unfortunately for the workers, Labour's definitions are as unclear as yours.

You've not given a definition of what you consider rich.

Being Non Dom doesn't make one a tax dodger.

As usual, you have failed to answer my question.

How much salary/wealth would one need to have to fit your idea of "rich"?

That's up to you. I haven't watched either for decades. Still lots to talk and joke about while having a beer or three.

I've always stood by the " no talking about sex, religion and politics" in pubs. When I go to the pub I want to enjoy myself. This new law won't affect me.

I've always thought the biggest dicks in the world were on AN.

Do it yourself. Speak as you go. Learning by doing.

Why would I? I'm just saying, if you have issues, complain to the people you have issues with.

Irrelevant to your original post. You're yet to post a link showing rates around 9% for 90/91.

The original poster you quoted said his mortgage rate in 1990 was 15.4%. You said that was wrong. The link I posted shows he wasnt wrong. You now say only new mortgages would pay that. The link I posted shows the rates as variable rates. So, no, not just new mortgages but those on variable rates also. If you read the link fully, you'll see fixed rates were averaging over 13%. Well above your unsubstantiated figures. Once again, the poster you quoted is correct. You are incorrect to question him/her. As my link proves.

"SVR peaked at 15.40% in 1990 — throughout the year the 'average' SVR was 14.30%, but the average fixed rate mortgage was available at a lower amount of 13.75%."
