1980s the Baht was pegged at 25 to the dollar? It was not just another century but another planet.I had a lean-to on the beach in Samui in 1980 cost 20baht a night I asked the owner why does a beer cost more than a bed for the night he said it was because they were an island and the beer was imported.

But whatever the baht was pegged at then did not concern us just as it does not now. Everything you buy in the LOS is paid for in baht not dollars.

 

In the UK we used Sterling back then and we still use it today. We could change our Pounds directly into baht in the 1980s just like we can today.

 

The value of Aussie dollar does not enter the equation neither does that of the US dollar.

You are not asking because you want to know  though  , you are using the question in an attempt to gloat and to abuse people , like *You wanted Brexit , now the Pound is 39 Baht and going down to 32 , ha ha ha  ,* , so you are indeed baiting, trolling or just being confrontational .

Some people can't post anything humourous, informative or of interest so they resort to sitting at a PC and sniping at people who they imagine can afford to do what they wish they could.

The underlying basis is that LIB DEMS had bugger all support until recently. They have benefitted from the Brexit-related protest vote from the remain elements of CON and LAB and that benefit will largely disappear at the next GE.

The underlying basis is that the LIB DEMS campaign focused on REMAIN, and farage's party on Brexit but the other parties didn't. I think that at the next GE, when the Greens almalgamate with LIB DEMS, they would hold off Farage's party leaving both Tories and Labour trailing in their wake.  

 

Regretably, this polarisation split will continue through decades, whatever happens to Brexit - which IMO, should be binned as the biggest folly ever undertaken by a UK government. And before Brexiteers start responding, I feel exactly the same about staying in the EU without a conscious  move by government to bring about a sea-change in EU's policies and practices akin to a EU structure revamp - but from within, where the UK has power, a seat at the table and a veto vote.

 

The worst outcome of all is to do nothing.

Of course the Lib Dems have benefited from the clearly non-committal stance of either of the two big parties, in a similar way to the brexit party.

 

To look on the bright side, perhaps we are looking at a change in uk politics for the future?

The EU will only change for the worse. the best outcome of all is to get out now.

Whatever happens, I think two-party domination is over, at least the share between LAB and CON. But I disagree that the LIB DEMS would take the lead in a GE. Brexit has to be resolved before domestic politics stabilizes.

Did not Cameron,try to make some changes to the workings of the E.U. admittedly small ones. And were they not just ignored. That is why the British people did in fact decide to do something “Leave”.

That's happened to every Prime Minister since Maggie.

Not any more.

  99 % of posters will not be able to understand that , what the spoony bomber is saying is that President Donald Trump likes to include urination in his sexual activities .

Not for one moment did I consider that posters would consider that Trump playing with a jet-ski in his bedroom was a sexual activity. I don't think 99% of posters are as naive as you believe. Its like saying after banging around on his jet ski he then enjoys a nice golden shower. I am sure many will reply with their understanding of that.

I wasn't aware the video was ever on the net, I though Putin was keeping it so he could carry on playing him like a puppet. Maybe I got mixed up there, different video - no showers?
