Re: Walking stick.

Thanks to all that replied, unfortunately the size I want isn't on that lazada list andI can't find one in the DIY stores. I am not sure where the main Mc Donalds is to try that. I really think I need a shop that specialises in mobility aids.

Thought you might like to see how the monks in Issan manage to spread merit amongst their flock in such a widely spread area, where walking between two farms could take half an hour.

Re: Note re frozen pensions for retired Brits or Brits approaching retirement age

Though having an outstanding apprehension warrant will rather restrict travel options, since in that case the accused (cheeky bugger) will be liable to a fine, or imprisonment for a period not exceeding five years or to both by not appearing. So not only is the DWP cleaning out your pockets but you...

Re: Richard Jensen Had a Stroke....Needs Help!

Just a thought, how do these seemingly penniless guys get a visa? If we all stuck to the rules no one would ever be in this position. So if you use an agent, there's a higher risk of getting a stroke?! I must look that up... where do you suggest I start? The British Medical Journal? I simply don't ...
