  1. ม5 is M5. Matayom 5. 2nd to last year of high school.
  2. Of course it does. I'm sure the scientists that did the tests know that too.
  3. What the article doesn't say is that testing was done over many days with " excellent" results. It also doesn't say that the adverse test was taken in a different area to that where the events took place. It also doesn't say the cause of illness to swimmers is still under investigation. https://www.sunderlandecho.com/news/investigation-launched-after-athletes-fall-ill-following-triathlon-championships-in-sunderland-4243333
  4. If you read his post, he said " if it's true I'll help". He also didn't mention it being a loan. Seems to be a nice friendly person who wants to help someone out. If it turns out to be a lie, he's made it quite clear he will walk away.
  5. No. That is not the definition of a scam. A scam is when someone knowingly sets out to relieve you of your money by lying. You are involved in an error. A big, long term error but, an error none the less. When did you inform them you were moving permanently to Thailand? You did inform them, didn't you? Then you checked? Then you checked your tax payments?
  6. Not a scam. An error. When did you tell them you moved to Thailand?
  7. No. You can quote as much scientific blurb as you like. I posted facts to prove there is affordable housing in many places in UK. Much cheaper than averages posted.
  8. Like I said, I doubt most people would have linked it to surgery, that was until those who did started to protest. Kids certainly would not have noticed.
  9. Had you noticed it and what it stands for before you read the article? That's my point. Most people will simply not notice it on the wall of a coffee shop. They're too busy playing with their smartphone. I've just looked at the image again. I would not have linked it to surgery or anything mentioned in the article. Not that I frequent Costa anyway.
  10. I avoid big brand coffee shops. In most town there is a plethora of privately owned coffee shops. Locally run. At the same time there are those that are closinging down. Get into your local coffee shop and support them. Use it or lose it.
  11. Most people would not have found it graphic, most wouldn't even have noticed. Only because someone with such thin skin decided to post it on social media do people now notice it. Why can't people just stop complaining at the slightest thing?
  12. You've summed it up very well. The words "BBC and "Bias" together in your replies hits the nail on the head.
  13. Just had a quick check using a few home towns of family and friends. Great Yarmouth, Kings Lynn, Milton Keynes, Sheffield, Retford and Shrewsbury. All have properties for rent, with at least one bedroom, at under £600pcm.
  14. And yet on other threads I'm told a survey of 1000 people can prove a point. Can't have it both ways. I posted about SW England and Blackpool as one is where I live and the other was in response to untrue claims by another poster. There are plenty of other places where there are properties well under the UK average. Not to mention the report today of the largest drop in property prices for many years.
  15. As explained previously, a comment you agreed with, average figures do not paint the correct picture. By using real prices, prices of properties currently on the market, the figures paint a more accurate picture. I initially use Rightmove, sometimes Zoopla, then I also search the websites of agents advertising those two sites. It really isn't difficult.
  16. No. If you look at my posts, I was using information from research. I've also provided links. Do try to keep up.
  17. Thanks for pointing out it is a matter of economic issues personal to you and not the norm.
  18. It's bad reporting. Simple. I have worked in rehab hospitals. They are very good, caring places. Residents, notice the word resident and not patient, get very good care and are extremely well looked after. Nothing about that in the article. Now, when there was something in conversation regarding engineering, you decided to use your experience to prove some posters were wide of the mark. Now it's me that has the experience. Just let others that know explain.
  19. Regardless, it is misleading. It's a tactic used by the media to grab attention. Attention to something that, to the trained eye, is not what it seems.
  20. I agree. Alzheimer is a form of dementia. As symptoms worsen, care and support is much better at a place designed for such care with trained carers. There are protocols to follow such as SALT, DoLs, Mental Health Act, Safeguarding. If either of my parents develop such symptoms, our family will take care the best we can for as long as we can. However, and we have spoke openly about this, all parties agree there will become a point where the health and safety of all involved will mean, eventually, needing to seek care in a residential home.
  21. I didn't say 12 hours with no breaks. As you pointed out, carers usually only stay 1 to 1.5 hours. That's 3 to 4.5 hours a day per client. Usually carers would visit 2 or 3 clients in a day, depending on their shift. Domicilliary care is very flexible. I've supported clients for full 12 hour shifts. I've also supported 3 or 4 in a day. It's totally up to the carers what hours they work. Even with the pay rise theyve received, which I apologise for missing, Asda staff are not on £13 an hour.
  22. Having research further, the facility the lady was/ is in is a rehabilitation centre. That is basically a government run and funded nursing home. Like a halfway house for someone who has been in general hospital, is too well to stay there but not well enough to go home or the home where they are going to is not suitable for their needs. Often the wait is for hospital style bed to be fitted, wet room conversation, hoist installation, wheelchair specific to her needs. She was getting the necessary care she needed including; Physiotherapy Occupational Therapy Podiatry Speech and Language Therapy Dietitian Again, thevarticle was misleading as this was not mentioned.
  23. Having read the full article once again, the lady in question mentions she has no family. Therefore, the last part of my comment was not relevant. I also noticed this in the article: " I've just been in bed constantly apart from being hoisted sometimes into a chair - I haven't had my feet on the ground at all," she said.". If she is being hoisted, she has had a full assessment and has been deemed non load bearing. Even if she was at home, her feet still would not be touching the ground. Therefore, her waiting for 12 months for carers cannot be totally to blame. If she needs to be hoisted then her home will need to be converted to accommodate that. Bathrooms particularly need a lot of work, often being converted into wet rooms. The article is misleading on several points. Easily identified by someone with experience in the field.
