The St. Georges cross is the official flag of the Church of England and cannot be deemed racist if flown in that capacity.
It is unfortunate that it also has been used by ultra right wing organisations such as the BNP, which is where all the problems arise.

I brought a DVD player 2 weeks ago, I had a look around Hua Hin, but I found a better selection at Big C in Petchuberi. I got a Pioneer with Home theatre speakers etc. for about 9000bt, I installed it in the house in Buriram last week and scared the whole villiage by playing Apocalypse Now at high v...

Hi sbj, I’ve had a bit of a trawl round the internet, and the strange jeep near TOT seems to be a FC-150 forward cab, 81’’ wheel base pickup produced from 1956-64. I’m out of town until the weekend so I haven’t seen the saloon yet, its possibly a Jeepster 1948-50 or more likely a Jeepster ...

Hi Sbj, If you go a bit further down the road, just before the TOT office, there’s another small garage. Behind that, they have a strange, forward cab, jeep pick-up. It looks about 1960â...

Hi Russ, If you head north on Phetchkasem road, between Index mall and Hua Hin hospital on the left, there are three small local style motor repair shops. At least two of these normally have old jeeps for sale, they tend to be restored in the Thai style with liberal use of filler. The last time I in...

For the help of all readers, I will sacrifice some of my time at the weekend to find out if this has actually come about!

Caller wrote; Unfortunately, its not the revenue who pay your pension! All I would suggest is that people check the declaration they sign when claiming.
