Have you forgotten about your trip to Blackpool a couple of years ago? (For some cancer checkups?)

This thread might remind you. Blackpool Pier Nostalgia

And here's your medical trip thread.

Of course, it is fcuking freezing. That very decent and warm coat that I'm wearing was purchased from one of the dozens of charity shops in Blackpool for just 15 quid, even though it is almost brand new.

Blackpool doesn't seem all bad. At least there are many cafes and small restaurants and somewhere on the sea front to jog. It is of course DEAD, with only a few old coggers like me.... But it will suffice for my needs.

I have to return to the UK...

Its either total bollocks or he has Alzheimers he wrote about Lancashire Cyrpus Mandalay and some places in ASEAN, I am begining to think its an AI test bot

^^^^^

Aren't you an immigrant yourself, Simon?

The UK really is proof that the racists of the 70s and 80s never went away: they just got older.

No matter where they emigrated to in the world to shout about bloody foriners.

Glad your memory is ok

The Europe of our youth has gone forever whether we like it or not.
Sounds lik eyou could be a teacher or missionary in UK in retirement with no visa hassles. The new muslim Britons would appreciate your telecomms skills as long as you don't use the term ham!

I imagine that most of Western Europe is as you describe now.

Gone to the dogs.

I have quite an affinity with Peterborough. My sister's longterm boyfriend, not an American, was in the US Airforce (his father had been, his father's father had been.... etc) for 5 years in Alconbury. I spend the full summers of my 11th and 12th years around Huntingdon, St Neots and Peterborough, glorious sunny summers with swimming in rivers long before the internet came along etc. Lovely places. Or were, at least.

When there were 'No Blacks No Dogs No Irish'?

No National Express.

London is a shitehole, I unfortunately have to go there for a few days 4 or 5 times a year. The illegals are everywhere and there is nothing done by police to curb their activities, theft, drugs, mugging et al. That Paki Labour cvnt that has been I charge for years has let it go to the dogs. Still you can get an uber up the Thames to Greenwich which still has a semblance of not being a third world shitehole.

Glad someone else picked up on this. Thought I was losing it, as I clearly recalled how Simon basically defrauded the UK NHS. And that thread is only 2 or so years ago....

Cleaerly Simon is just full of shite...

Different to those who pay a monthly pittance and claim a full UK pension or foreigners who have never paid NI or Tax getting a free life off taxpayers Nid? At least Simon was born there and in his time I the UK has probably paid more tax into the system than most. I don't understand your animosity on this.

I was intrigued by most of the 'whitie' immigrants that I passed in the street were all speaking what I assume to be Albanian (best guess here, I'm good at languages and I guess Allbanian by eliminating the languages that I can reognise). But actually, maybe it's Polish

Had a good day so far. I was able to update my Halifax Bank OTP SMS mobile number to an international UK number (messages are received on a mobile app, so OTPs are accessable even when outside the UK).

I bought some Hobnobs!! God, I haven't seen Hobnobs for decades, (even when I was in Blackpool - I guess my dementia means that I forgot to look for them at that time).

To clarify my position on immigrants in the UK, I welcome immigrants who contribute for the benefit of the country, and integrate etc etc. But those who offer no beneift and leech off the social security system would not be made welcome by me. God knows, there are enough indigenous population leeches already - we don't need any more... Anyway, my POV isn't importamt 'cos I don't live in the UK!

Not even while you were conning the NHS to give you free treatment in Blackpool?

Never heard of the expression 'Thick as thieves'?

Corrected for greater honesty.

It is a question of character. Simon had to affirm that he was returning permanently to live in UK. He had no intention to do so.

I am old fashioned in believing people should live by their word.

Other abuses is just a strawman argument.

Wrong!

At that time, it was my intention to return to live in the UK permananently, because the opinion of the doctors from Bunrungrad was that I had cancer and the MRI scans seemed to indicate this. I was completely honest with the GP and the hospital staff about my residency history in south-east Asia, and at no time did anyone mention the rules concerning overseas Brits and NHS treatment. I was fully entitled to free NHS treatment because it was my intention to stay in the UK.

London is just as good as it ever was. I was there a couple of months ago and will be there within the next few months.

Vibrant, cosmoploitan and more things to do than ever. The capital city of the world.

isn't it?

Well, the last time that I screwed a local must be at least 15 years ago!

Additionally, I am contributing positively to that country, whether by imparting educational knowledge through my paid employment, or giving it for free with my charity efforts, or paying for it by funding educational resources for the students. And of course I'm not am immigrant, only temporarily in the country on an annual visa...

If I stopped one of these Albanians in Peterborough and asked how they have contributed positively to the UK, I rather doubt that a) - they would understand me and b) they would be able to give a good and positive answer.

I strongly suggest you re-read your own thread before further lying you ass off. From the first post in that thread:

I cannot afford to pay for the biopsy and subsequent surgery myself (around 1 million baht in total). So I must return to the UK and be treated 'free' under the NHS. Returning expats who state that they have returned to live in the UK permanently are able to receive free treatment immediately under the NHS. (If asked, they need to show evidence of accommodation, bank account etc).

Cancer treatment under the NHS is actually very fast - my previous doctor (20 years ago), has no record of me now, but after explaining my position to them, they said that they would re-register me straightaway when I visit them and will refer me to the cancer hospital where initial consultation takes place within 14 days and treatment starts within 1 month.

Will I remain permanently in the UK? Of course, I can't possible comment But this trip will allow me to also do some admin tasks, such as renewing my UK driving licence, opening a local bank account, registering with my doctor etc.

I have to return to the UK...
