Yes. A couple of cling on ladies in my early days. I suppose after thirty years of marriage to my Thai wife I suppose she falls into that category. But maybe me more likely.

 

The only one that Klinged on to me was the one I met 25 years ago and married 18 years ago.

 

She is still Klinging on.

i beat both of you being married 39 years.

How does the Thai government manipulate the Baht to keep it strong?

 

Buy Baht with dollars and change interest rates.

"The lowest UK pensions come from the North East of England where they get on average, after tax, £269 a week."

So UK's got its Issan?...

I don't know how you come to the conclusion that the North East has the lowest pensions. My pension is 127 quid less than what you've stated. Must be some **oody rich Geordies in the UK. Not in Manchester I can assure you of that.

I was married once for what felt like 60 years albeit it was only for three.

Fair play.

A marriage if that length is rare.

The problem in the financial world is that money (as opposed to currency) simply doesn't exist.

 

The countries that are either outside the world's banking system or trying to do trade in gold or other worthy substance are being constantly demonised and on the list for regiem change.

No. However, China and India are the two biggest importers of gold. Maybe they know something we don't.

I think the answer is in the population densities and numbers, perhaps a reflection also of the confidence the population has in their governments' ability to manage their respective economies.

You mean the governments importing gold, yes?

As I understand it, Indians can’t import gold without significant taxes and or penalties.

I wonder how much good is used used in 200 million iPhones a year?

In any event, importing gold and being on the gold standard are not the same thing.

Where does Switzerland get $90,000,000,000 to buy gold?

It looks like about $300,000,000 in gold is used in 200M iPhones..

They are not nett figures so pretty meaningless unless you balance it with export figures for gold.
