You are missing the point though. The WCK staff were literally hunted down from car to car over a period of time despite:

• Being in a declared noncombatant zone
• Having had their exact movements, satellite coordinates and location communicated clearly to IDF
• Clearly marked cars with WCK's large logo on the roofs and sides of all cars in the convoy. 
• They called the IDF after first strike but were subsequently hit twice more.

The point is this was not an accident at all. 'People die in war zone' statement is just a smoke screen to justify a heinous cowardly attack which has zero justification or room for error.

I didn't say it was an accident. I'm not putting up smoke screens.

Innocent people die in wars. It's not a shock. Isn't there zero justification for all the deaths in this conflict?

Regardless of who did what, who started it, who retaliated, who didn't look before firing, etc....the aid workers entered a war zone. People die in war zones. 

The headline make people dying in war zones out to be a shock. It's not.

Corruption only works if people are prepared to pay it.

Our daughter asked to not to attend the top school in our district as she new about the fees required 

The issue with paying the fee is your child might not be in the class you want. An extra fee is often required to be in "King's" class or "Queen's" class. This results in not so clever kids being in the top classes dragging the clever kids down.

Our daughter's primary school often had "borigan" on the receipts for payments. I paid the food bill, the books and computer class. I said I'd pay "borigan" when I could see receipts for the work that it was going to pay for. Things like new playground, plants and trees. They never got back to me.

Should create a nice bit of over time.

At least those coppers that have overstretched themselves financially can earn a bit extra and save themselves from, allegedly, missing meals and using food banks.

The ‘war babies’ raised on rationing are living longer.

 

You can see them in the UK, while old and naturally frail, they are still not over weight, still active in their lives.

 

Not so later generations.

 

The argument that people are living longer based on the evidence of the ‘war babies’ while ignoring the obese generations that followed is very clearly flawed.

 

 

As is not recognising major advances in medical science and medications.

I find it ironic that when at school in the UK all our books were supplied free, by the school and collected up and reissued to the next year, while in Thailand you pay and throw away.....

 

Oldest book i was issued was an atlas in the 1960's which was printed 30 years earlier - many countries had changed their names and borders since it was printed.

That's because in Thailand most of the books double up as exercise books.

The prior comment being responded to was:

 

"Never seen a forklift drop a pallet in the aisles, where does this happen ?" It wasn't a location limited comment.

 

And the answer was quick and obvious from several posters here -- Makro in Thailand for starters.

 

And yes, they do tend to cordon off the aisle and use large forklifts with "beeping" alerts.... But they're still closing off store aisles temporarily in the middle of the shopping day.... which seems not ideal.

 

I've also seen customers in Makro walk past the cordons set up and go shopping down the aisle where the forklift is moving heavy pallets -- something that would give OSHA a nightmare if Thailand had anything functionally resembling OSHA.

 

 

I wasn't responding to the prior comment.

i'd like to know how many supermarkets back home operate their Forklifts throughout the day at the busiest times, depositing pallets full of product along the aisles.

Just doesn't happen, H&S would have a baby.

It's true most restocking is done over night, stock required to be replaced during the day time is bought in, in smaller mobile cages that do not block aisles.

Supermarkets in UK don't have stock stacked high enough or in large enough quantities in store to warrant using a fork lift.

Wickes and B&Q certainly use fork lifts in store during opening times. All cordoned off with bleeping warning sounds. Just as they do in Makro in Thailand.

54 minutes ago, it is what it is said:

In other countries they have staff to resupply when the shop is closed.

 

not true, in the uk supermarket shelves are re-stocked during shop open hours

 

try not to see criticism through the lens that if something is not right it must be because it's thai/thailand. 

 

Not true.

Most supermarkets have a night shift.

if you have Breaking News on the web,go back a couple of days.

Done that. Still nothing. 

Seems you made it up.

Keep them. Get your kid to read them.

In Thai schools, subject matter learned in one grade is never revisited. Once they have tested at year end, that's it. Forget and move on.

Keeping old books will ensure your kid will not fall into the trap of learn, test, forget. Rinse and repeat.

It's cost saving. Savings that can be passed onto customers.

In the UK, Lidl and Aldi stock up during the day. Look at their prices. Always lower than other supermarkets. The stores are always busy. It obviously is a business plan that works.

So, no comparison.

Makes your comment rather inane.

You have time in your life to read every post on this forum, judge them, evaluate them and then put them in some kind of order.

And you say others are dumb.

And this, is this a quote from the article?

 

“Worried officers have proposed setting up food banks for police recruits, The Independent can reveal, as one in 10 admit to relying on handouts.”

 

Yes or no?

 

How about this:

 

“Worried officers have floated the idea of establishing food banks specifically tailored for police recruits, underscoring the severity of the situation.”

Since 2019 there have been just over 15000 new recruits in the police force. Each year they receive pay rises and move up a level on the salary scale.

At best, if we take all recruits since 2019,  one in ten, of those on the salary figure you quoted, would be circa 1500.

Salaries of the remaining, at least 4500, unknown. As I said.
