"Is this just the beginning of a financial meltdown???" JOHN BOTTING
(amended from Botting to assuage the author's ire.)

Why would anyone think that. TMB has been deep in the do-do since 1997 with massive bad loans on it's books. Being 33% owned by the Thai Government gives it strength and ensures that it will survive.[/b]

John, My apologies. I do not have a working knowledge of Australian etiquette. In the UK { from where I come} it is still fairly common especially in the better schools and when referring to persons of renown - Shakespeare, Blair, Churchill etc.

Power

------------------------

I didn't like my Christian name too much. My Mother suggested that I use my second name and call myself John Power. I said " No thank you it sounds like an American lavatory cleaner". In those days saying "toilet" was considered very rude.

I remember that authoress Jilly Cooper was banned from Australian Radio for saying, on air, that she would prefer her children to say 'fuck' than 'toilet' which was very naff.

"so I expect not for someone to call me only by my surname." John

John - your wish is my command. What an old fusspot you are.

But I am not a school now, and neither are you. I am also no longer in the police, so I expect not for someone to call me only by my surname.
