Nice try at recovery but it won't mask the first fail.....????
Why not. You obviously know nothing about the UK becoming 3rd work.
Try google, Uk becoming 3rd world country. I'm not sorry for you as this was obvious 3 years ago.
Didn't think you would be able to google. So, here is what you get.
https://www.quora.com/Will-Britain-become-a-Third-World-Country
Exactly yes it will. I’ll tell you exactly how.
first of all England has a problem getting a grip with its borders. So many illegal immigrants are crossing through with very little police to deal with the situation. In fact, I asked the police to do a well being check on my son and it took 3 whole days to get a response from them. Their answer was they didn’t deem child protection to be a priority. It’s now been 2 whole weeks I haven’t seen my son. The politicians have withdrawn so much welfare here that they won’t even pay people to clean up on its streets. There is trash on every 4 corners of England. Canada is way cleaner than England. By a long shot. There are a lot of homeless in England being housed in shared accomodations and the rent to stay in a shelter is high. In Canada you could be homeless find somewhere to stay and get welfare the next day. And sort your housing out in a fair amount of time. What you have in England is junkies starving cause they can’t afford to buy food cause they have to pay rent in which they don’t. So homelessness is a epidemic in England which they can’t control. Next is the welfare system. Omg bro you don’t even want to know about the welfare system. Everything is automated. You will have run around 1000 times before you actually get accepted for welfare. And when you do you got a neighborhood office that has workers that literally sit there and chat away the day when there are line ups of people waiting to be served. They get all up in your business instead of actually doing work. Basically England is a set of run arounds and automated telephone numbers. Bro they can’t even pay people to sit on the phone to accept new claimnents. Honestly England has always been a third world country. They don’t have a electricity support program to help poor people pay for electricity. So some families actually live with no electrics in their home. The buses cut off at 12am. If your still in the town center your gonna have to hail a cab or walk home. The whole of England stops at 12 practically. Which is a shame cause there are shops that are open 24 hour but they are way out within walking distance. Their cars are limited to a certain amount of horsepower. Minimum wage is still what it was 10 years ago! Bro people in Canada at getting 14 and hour why is miminum wage still at 8 pounds? Ok I think I had enough here. England is third world. They have so much to learn from Canada. And it starts with the politicians in England. Greedy bunch of white collar crooks.

You got that right. In fact, it's a problem in small farming villages. Young people go right into locow whiskey (rotgut)--since they have no other low-cost alcohol available.
My wife'a mother makes Whiskey She imports her the flavorings Jack Danial and Johnnie Walker. Been doing it for 50 years. Not bad.

They can marry a local guy then asset strip him with ease.
That's always the best employment opportunity for women in the western world.
I think you should add something about the guy being stripped as regards mentality. There is a limit on Mentally challenged folks.

PLONKER! ????????
(a) You should have included the link in your previous post.
(b) You can't spell 'world' in your previous post.
(c) You are TOTALLY wrong - the article does not refer to the UK as a 3rd World country..... it refers to EU terminology of 'third country' ie a country that is outside the EU.
My gosh I'm a plonker now am I. I'll have to get out the big guns.

I live in a new 2br condo with infinity pool/gym for less then $600 usd a month, all my produce and meat/seafood is far less then the USA, I take a bus for less then 50 cents, fly anywhere in country for less then 50 bucks, I just had a plate of pad thai gai for $1.30 usd. My iced latte large - runs me $1.14, even KFC and McDonalds is cheaper here...and buying from Lazada they seem to charge me about a buck for shipping...Ive bought tons of stuff cheaper then amazon.... It's as cheap as can be unless Im buying peanut butter or vacuum packed NZ or AUS beef, and even that is reasonable. Are we both in the same Thailand? I save a fortune living here!
Consider the UK it will be a third would country in a few weeks and really cheap.

Every 2 or 3 months my wife and our neighbours take over the kitchen at the local first school and give all the kids a really decent meal.
I taught at 10 different schools. One was actually gourmet quality and another very good the other 8 were OK but nothing the local mayor wouldn't eat.

Have changed passports twice at CW and they never charged for placing the information in the new passport. The last time was October 2018.
I changed at Mataphut and there was no charge.

Had my glasses fixed for the 4th time free (I'm rough on glasses) in 2 years nothing but smiles.
Nice ladies they give me orange juice while I wait and ask me if I have a wife. Thai service. Never in America or Canada has any girl glasses tech in a short skirt asked me if I had a wife and winked at me. You guys can have the service in the West. I'll take Thailand.

The only people who could know the real figures are Thai immigration, as they have everyone logged into their database. However, it would require a modicum of intelligence to bring up those figures, so I very much doubt if they know!!
For your sake I hope they don't know how to read Thai Visa

Can you prove they can’t charge 600 baht?
Probably no one at the office has the authority to sign it off, which is why you have to wait.
Should be easy to check. I'd imagine Ubon Joe would know

I do live here and I do use the aforementioned Bum Gun, However one needs to dab ones bits dry after use as does my Mrs, don't assume anything until you know the facts sunshine, something you are prone to do - along with bragging of course
I always link posts and never tell lies about another. If you know of any posts where I bragged about anything feel free to link it. When dabbing one must look at the paper before using. Pray tell how you miss the cockroaches? When I buy toilet paper it is always sealed. How to the roaches get in? Or do you have roaches in the house?

The crafty little b*ggers are lurking in the bum wipes because they know it's a free ride to their favourite holiday spot.
Visit Thailand and not worry about toilet paper - use a bum gun like the rest of us who live here.

Vietnam is not just a competitor to Thailand for tourism. They are an acceptable alternative for retirees. Vietnam actually WELCOMES retirees, while Thailand does everything to drive us out.
Does Vietnam offer a 2 year visa for 1900 baht?

@Marcusarelost: Weird, because I want to buy a f.... printer in a shop? No Mistah, you are weird..
I did buy it at Lazada, but prefer a shop instead of waiting for the stupid delivery boys, who can never find my humble abode out in the sticks.
If you want bad service go to places with bad service (shops) If you want good service go to lazada or Invadeit. Clearly putting the burden on you to tell them how to get to your home. Who is responsible for bad service if you can't tell them how to get to your house?

- and "no hab" - like when I wanted to buy the last HP printer in Tesco. Why? - I asked, it´s right there on the shelf in front of me.
"Lat one for show only"
Weird people..
Everybody knows Lazada has hundreds of them. Methinks you are the weird person. I bought a new one last week 2 days from order to delivery. Hp printer and it works great.

You are lucky not being severely beaten for a loss of face. "Mai mee" means "leave me alone" in case you did not know.
Mai mee does not mean "leave me alone" it means "don't have"

I have to disagree here as the majority of things we've bought over the last 5 years are still working mostly fine. The exception are brooms which all fall apart after about 10 sweeping sessions. For everything else I make sure that I stick to 3 rules when buying stuff:
1: Read the reviews online. Easy to do on your phone. Browse around a store, get gf to chat to sales staff if they don't look like a total moron, choose a thing you like and then briefly put the model # into google + "reviews". If its not 4 stars or up I choose something else.
2: Opt for the more expensive option. You get what you pay for. Plenty of quality stuff available here. Yeah, all of it is probably from overseas but it's here and you can buy it and it lasts.
3: No Thais allowed. This is the most important one as I think most things can last a long time if maintained properly. But we all know what the attitude to that is like here. After I purchase something I make sure that nobody other than me and my gf has access to it.
That last rule is key. When I first moved here I took a look at the non-stick frying pans they were using and found that the coating had shredded off and was flaking onto the food. Told them that non-stick pans are great but as soon as the coating gets so much as a scratch you're introducing heavy metals into your food. Threw it into the bin, bought them a good big Teflon and said "no contact with metal". Nods all around.
The first Teflon replacement was scratched to hell pretty quickly by using metal cooking tools. "No contact with metal. Use a wooden spatula." Into the bin she goes, bought new pan.
Second Teflon replacement was damaged almost immediately by scrubbing with steel wool. "No contact with metal. Use a soft sponge." In the garbage, new pan.
Third Teflon replacement scratched up again by storing all sorts of crap inside it - other pots, utensils, etc. "No contact with metal. Line with a towel if stacking stuff". Into the bin again, bought pan #4.
Fourth Teflon replacement scratched again. By this time I was moving out so didn't care anymore.
When you have the choice of teflon or forged steel in Asia take the forged steel. Most Asians know this. And any decent cook. But that precludes most posting on Thai visa

Did you feel the same way before the pound crashed and the GF problems started?
Try one of these money can't buy a better one - Lucaris made in Thailand.
Due to the Exchange Rates - have you changed your spending habits?
