Topping up UK State Pension
Concerns over a rush of last-minute enquiries mean anyone who requests a call back from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) on the issue will not be regarded as having missed the 5 April deadline. People can currently make voluntary extra contributions to plug National Insurance gaps back to 2006. But, after April's deadline, this will be limited to the previous six years only. Some people may have spaces in their National Insurance record if, for example, they have lived abroad or taken time off for caring responsibilities. In general, people need 35 years of qualifying contributions to get the full state pension. Top-ups have been permitted, as part of the transition to the flat-rate state pension, which was introduced in 2016. Currently, these can go back for nearly 20 years, but are due to return to the normal six years after April 5th. If you currently click 'view details' on any years for which you might want to make voluntary contributions, you automatically get another month to pay. People wanting more breathing space to buy top-ups should therefore request a callback as aforementioned, or click on 'view details' on years they might want to buy on their NI record, or do both. -

US Tariffs Threaten Thai Economy with B360bn Blow
The USA backed Thailand when Thailand was threatened with reparations for it's cooperation with Japan during WW2. The USA continued to support Thailand in the following years when the threat of a communist takeover was imminent. Now Thailand is cosying up to China and appears to have forgotten the long term friendship and support it has received from the USA. Not surprising Thailand was specifically mentioned as an offender in the tariff debate in the US, and has been hit hard accordingly. And there could be worse to come.. -

'I need change for the phone.'
Exactly; always when I arrive in Thailand, needing change, I go to the next 7-Eleven, pay, say, with a 1,000-baht note, then turn around, and buy some more with the given 100-baht note... Easy way to get some needed 20s and coins. -
