So what comes next. One of these or an electronic version

Gove said No Certificate will be issued - but that seems a daft move - surely a vaccination certificate would be a good thing, especially for air travellers and immigration.

If so, my age group (sort of Elderly), should put somewhere in that first batch, with a chance of receiving shot No 1, by end of January 2021 . One can only hope, assuming the first batch caters for around 100,000 or so. pipoz4444 The time scale published in my area says UK target is - 1st no later...

Hopefully the threat of No Access to our waters will be enough for the French fishing industry to bring Macron to his senses, after all, a Deal with some access is better than a No Deal with none. If it does go to Jan 1st, then I hope the French fishing fleet stay out of our waters - no one in their...

Post by papafarang » September 1, 2020, 10:36 pm A strange thought , as children can't have bank accounts how would you give them pocket money ? Asked my daughter about this, and it turns out that my granddaughter (11 years old) has a card ! - loaded by my daughter each week with her pocket money, s...

"Maybe I misspoke on that. Here in the States, the merchant is charged a fee by the credit card company every time a customer uses a credit card at their establishment. No doubt it is convenient for them, but for me, I would not want the credit card company, be it Visa or MasterCard, to take any of ...

It's on it's way, make no mistake about it - and it's a trend that I personally do not like ! I'm stuck at home in the UK, and my local bar only accepts contactless card payments due to this pandemic. Last night I was chatting to the manager and I asked if they would ever go back to cash, and got a ...

I always bring cash from the UK, but be aware, I was stopped at Manchester Airport when a drug dog picked me out. The dogs can also smell cash ! (A bit like my TGF ! ) . I had £3000, and they wanted to know where I had got it from. They were OK as I am still working, but they did do a background che...

Having seen the video, Gary's behaviour seems inexplicable. In UK, everybody was brought up with "light at arms length, and NEVER return to a firework that has not gone off". For some reason, he remained bent directly over the firework even though the video clearly shows the fuse burning. Whatever, ...

"You quite clearly have not traveled to all the beautiful places in the Philippines, your comment is controlled by the bar scene and not the scenery on offer, easy to converse with people that have a good command of english, this allows humour and conversation, something Thailand lacks unless you ar...

Thanks for the info lads, but .... as I'm sure you will all have experienced .... the GF has changed her bloody mind !
She wants to go somewhere else - not sure where yet, but anything for a quiet life.
But the info is there for me now, if (and it's a possibility) she changes it back again

Some good info there - thanks Lads

Hi Guys, My GF wants to visit Chiand Mai for a week ... it's never interested me, especially with what I've read about the air quality and influx of Chinese, but it looks like I'll have to spend a little time there, so - Any recommendations for which area to stay in ? She will want things to visit d...

I fitted PIR's separate to the lights, reason was that most light fittings with them integral have PIR's that have approx. 90deg detection angle, leaving some areas unprotected. You can get separate PIR's that are 180deg. and even some corner ones that are 270deg detection. Wire these in parallel an...

In my experience the Leading Edge Dimmer Switch is the one to use with (Dimmable) LED lamps. Also, unless you go to a specialist LED Control Supplier, you will find a maximum LED load that can be dimmed. LED lamps are not as consistent in dimming as the old incandescent lamps due to the differences ...

But Mally,How would they KNOW That YOU/WE are an EXPAT ??? As AlexO said, they are doing checks, my local hospital went through a question list when I last visited. What I was advocating was, if you went back to UK for treatment, then immediately register with a GP saying you had returned PERMANANTL...

I'm more concerned about NHS! Because I'm not a "resident' I dont qualify for my eligible treatment. I have never been out of a job in my life, always paid tax and National health contributions. Now, They stop my NHS treatment! - Choi Choi read below, it may be a help to some UK expat - There does s...

Done. I get the full pension, but cannot agree with this policy.

In my experience, if it's crackling then somethings wrong, and as someone already mentioned, it could cause a fire - not as uncommon as you might think ! Also, these things don't last forever, and the fact that the Test button works when pushed is no guarantee that the device is working correctly. H...

Well if the Baht goes up any more then a lot of UK tourists will look elsewhere, given that the £ sterling has taken such a pre-brexit knock. I've been coming here 3 times a year for the last 10 years and this time the prices have hurt. Though I'm a working class man, I don't class myself as an Econ...

Well, 5 years since the last post !
A mate and me are thinking of a short stay here just before Christmas so any update on this place would be appreciated.
Are there any Farang friendly bars around the place for a night time drink ?
