Yes. Had them for a while though.

A couple of years ago I went to London for a wedding. Many bars and the wedding location itself was tap card only. My pal, the father of the bride, had to pay for all my drinks as my cards would not work. lol. He got his own back this year when I went for the football in May. My Thai cards were working in bars, restaurants etc this time.

@Steve ******

I pay for Bolt and Grab through cards as they are tied to accounts. I am not standing in a or a coffee shop pulling out my phone though for small amounts. Just what we are used to I suppose. If I am going out for a night with friends it is cash only too for beer etc. I suppose service staff like it better as they get tipped. I notice people paying exact amounts when scanning in bars etc.

Rent and other local payments. I have local bank accounts but pay for most day to day items cash. I am not fecking about with a phone and QR code for a few hundred Baht.

Congrats - The London Embassy seems to be very efficient and straightforward

Anonymous participant He was rejected in Cambodia for a shorter course. Then applied in Vietnam with a longer course and all documents supplied by the gym. The gym posted they were surprised at the rejection. They stated that embassies, at least certain ones, were asking for a lot more documentation recently. There is another poster who was implying certain embassies are favouring certain agents

Sorry to hear that. There has been a rash of rejections in Vietnam over the last week. One guy had a 9 months course booked and paid for at a very reputable gym which has had many successful applicants.

I think the word you are reaching for is "Henpecked".
