    You'd think she'd lived here all her life. If you ask her where the best place to live is, she will tell you England over Malaysia and Thailand. The cold doesn't phase her at all, unlike her mother

    As for the covid situation, she had that all last year with much tighter restrictions, so is used to it and the home schooling, although that along with her specs, dental and medical fees is all lovely and free now. Plus she's getting taught by proper teachers with degrees, not your average tefler chancer like Armstrong, Topper and Lu.

    That is a moan you will unfortunately have to get used to.

    Theres a bloke in our village who's son went to a private International school in Thailand till he was 11.

    Relocated back to the UK and found his child in all the lowest classes for every subject at a uk state secondary school.
    Not an isolated example imhe either.
    Shalom

    Good on her, and you all as a family. I genuinely think its for the best for her, she'll enjoy the trips back to Thailand and all the other travel outside the UK - once the chinky flu blows over. Anyway good on you. Now, at least being in striking distance you can teach Ch---Joe to cook,

    Hiya Mendy. Good Morning. Funny reading about all these guys freezing their ass's off in snow and rain and we are chilling in our pools with Pink Flamingos, Yellow Ducks and double drink holder floaters.

    Time for my bike ride and there is no poove Lycra gear worn by this rider.

    ^ Lockdown where?

    There's no lockdown in Korat but I think restaurants and bars just have to close a bit early.

    Rumour has it that Bangkok bars will be open from March 1st, which luckily coincides with my passport renewal trip next Tuesday!

    Most of them are uncertified and not equivalent to United K state schools. They employ unqualified teachers and NQTS.

    So was that.

    Maybe you mean 'turn of phrase'?

    But yeah, nobody says 'United K', wakey.

    I think that's what Armstrong means.
