  1. The relationship between mathematics and literature from TheEconomist http://espresso.economist.com/071141fef2fa1e6caca573d7d3819871

  2. Just so. Thank you, Joey, that is brilliant. My friend is lovely, but she's fighting so many different fronts, that stupid LGW ticket was just the last straw!!! Well, that will definitely help setting her mind at rest.
  3. Hi, FTM, not sure about envelope, I'll ask her, but she keeps on not keeping them iyswim, even though I keep on telling her to! I'll let you know.
  4. Thanks, both of you, good points! It really is disgusting. Look at the time stamp, ffs! @LFI, I was only going to make them go away, but on 2nd thoughts, I AM going to complain! I already have ICO's address (practically engraved in my head, lol), but do you have the airport's one at hand, by any chance? Thanks again. My poor friend is drowning as it is, so much piled on her head, so I've taken over the handling of all the DCAs, enforcement agencies, etc... This last one had her in floods of tears when it arrived, last straw and all that... I'm not even supposed to do anything stressful myself, but you can't just sit here and do nothing, right? Argh, I get so frustrated at this type of cr@p, honest to god. Anyway... I'll let you know if anything of interest happens with this one. K8.pdf
  5. Hi, all, long time no speak! I just came to refresh my memory and catch up on what's been changing in the murky world of PPCs. My good friend K has fallen foul of the dreaded LGW Sth Terminal Drop off Zone, even though she wasn't dropping anyone off! She was going to the McD and went round the one way by accident, no matter, ANPR caught her, and she received a letter yesterday, at which point she called me. date of incident: 12/04 date of sending notice: 28/04 Pay by date: 30/05 She received it yesterday, so 20/05. I've just been on NCP's website, and at the bottom, it says the discount period has passed, and the whole £100 is now owed. Ho-hum. I have seen some threads where people were complaining about NCP's system not working properly, so I'm going to break this down in case others get caught out in the same way (and I'm not even starting on the other "irregularities" , these have already been detailed by others!) : - Notice is deemed to have been given on the second working day after the date of sending above. - If payment is received within 18 days from the date this notice is given, then a reduced amount, bla bla, you know the rest. Now then: if date of sending is 28/4 (Thu), then the 2nd working day after is 03/5 (Tue) 18 days from that takes us to the 21/05 (Sat), which is today. So, my friend has until the end of the day to pay the reduced charge if she so wishes, right? Well, no, she couldn't even if she wanted to, because, when I checked their website, it states that the discount period has expired, and she now must pay £100. Just goes to show that one must really check every little thing! So, in conclusion, NCP don't seem to know their *rses from their elbows, and I'll be quite happy to hand them said *rses on behalf of my beleaguered friend. To be continued...
  6. Hi here, what is happening with this case, any update? I'm currently helping a friend of mine who is exactly in the same boat and is going out of her mind with worry. Croydon Council really are the pits, since they're bankrupt, they're looking for any way to get money in their coffers, even though so many of their signage is unlawful and they are losing challenges by the bucketful, but that doesn't stop them using the likes of Newlyn's or Bristow & Sutter to intimidate vulnerable people! Any update would be great, if you have any, that is!
