Happy Birthday MK
« on: June 26, 2016, 02:40:40 AM »
Have a very happy Birthday :)
Listen to the advice about not getting drunk making a fool of yourself or misbehaving in any sort of way.....then ignore it completely and do whatever you want >:D

Have a good one and wishing you many more to come

Dragonman
You are UNIQUE....just like everyone else

Sorry this is late, but yet another trip with little 'net availability...

But I hope it was a very happy birthday, MK!

Thanks, Birdy and all others who welcomed me to septuagenarianship!

It was a nice day, but I could have done without the unwanted present from Mr Brexit!

I've had my eye on a birding holiday in Peru. It's run by a Peruvian company and priced in US$. Helpfully it shows the price converted to £. In the two days after the referendum result was known the holiday went up by £225.

How will the referendum result affect you, Mike, living in Thailand?

My pensions are paid into a UK bank account, so, to quote Harold Wilson, the 'pound in my pocket' is not affected by what has been effectively a 10% devaluation in the value of sterling, until I change it into another currency.
A week ago, one pound was getting me 50 Thai Baht; today it gets me 45.  Let's hope it doesn't get any worse. Obviously, if I buy goods here with my UK debit or credit card, they'll be 10% more expensive when the bank does their conversion.
In theory, British goods should be 10% cheaper abroad, but the question is 'What British goods?' What do we make and export these days?
Anything you buy in UK which originates abroad is going to be 10% more expensive - in your case hotel accommodation in Peru, aviation fuel etc etc.

They've opened Pandora's box, and God knows what is still to come out

Yes, it's a complete and utter shambles. And made worse by the fact that a lot of the Leave voters did so on the basis of out and out lies borne out of one man's burning ambition to be prime minister. I sincerely hope that that person is 'anyone but Boris'. At least it can't be that nasty racist, Nigel Farage.
