    Scampy's double gusseted Loakes held hostage at Bang Na post office.

    I paid about 25 English pounds for postage when I ordered them so why were they not delivered to my apartment, or at least the post office opposite. They were not even at the next nearest post office. Instead I had to take a taxi to Bang Na central post office where I was met with a faux friendly Thai smai of the usual default insincerity and told to pay a further 1,200 baht before I could receive them.

    I know this is wrong and greedy but is it standard practice when receiving goods from overseas which have already had the postage paid for?

    Perhaps the 25 quid was just the delivery fee from Kettering to LHR, in which case Royal Mail have inflated their prices outrageously since I was last back in Blighty.

    "I'm an outsider by choice, but not truly. It's the unpleasantness of the system that keeps me out. I'd rather be in, in a good system. That's where my discontent comes from: being forced to choose to stay outside.
    My advice: Just keep movin' straight ahead. Every now and then you find yourself in a different place."

    For any item valued at more than ThB 1,000 the recipient should pay 7% VAT plus any import duties.

    IF the shoes cost you ThB 17,000 or thereabouts then ThB 1,200 would be correct.

    The price you paid in the UK should not have included the UK VAT.

    The way this works is that VAT should only be paid in the country where the goods are used. Thus when they are exported from the UK in new condition the UK VAT should not be charged. Instead you pay VAT in Thailand where the goods are used.

    Loakes eh? They should last a while. I have Church's Oxfords which I bought around 20 years ago; just get them re-soled occasionally and they're fine.
    I see fish. They are everywhere. They don't know they are fish.

    Okay so perhaps I should address this issue with Amazon. Thanks Thomaturge.

    Rupert, Sandra is working in a nail salon in Doha and it was her birthday yesterday. That's all I know.

    Since 2008, with the exception of a Taffy and a Spaniard, I have only dated Yanks and Japs.

    Were you given a white printout sheet that had to be filled out on the back with your passport details and signature ?

    Long time no see my friend. No I wasn't, the Thai man did it himself and got me to sign it after inspecting my passport.

    Nice boots but won't they be a bit hot and uncomfortable in Thailand?
    Or are you doing the colonial mad dogs and Englishmen thing.

    Yep, he was banging her.

    Ice Maiden is a really nice young lady and we had a good night out in Bangers with Norton in tow.

    She told me she was heading back home to complete her studies and I hope she has reached her dream.
