    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Is it my computer or has something happened to the CAG thing that lets me know when a post has been posted on a thread I have subscribed to? Before the shut down on Thursday I used to get an email quite quickly when someone posted on a thread I have subscribed to, but now it seems to take ages. A few minutes ago I received an email telling me that someone had posted on the ebay thread. When I looked at the post, I found that the post was actually posted on the 26th October. Now every now and then my email box goes completely mental (like now). Is this my machine?

pete, freaky, pd, jo.... it's scary here in the bear garden - i think i liked it better when we had our little rants on the bank forum...........all this troll spotting and weird goings on - it's too much for my old brain (which recently spouted another year on it!)

 

just had a look at the numbers at the bottom - 663 on the site and only 145 are members 518 are non-members - used to be the other way around.

 

there are either a lot of paranoid people on this site or else there are a lot of people trying to cause bother - either way - i think i was happier back in our little comfort zone. all the inactivity seems to have cause havoc with people's brains. it's not just my new job that is keeping me away from the site -

i felt like i was really helping some people before - now it's pretty much a social gathering and i'm pretty busy doing stuff - just thought i'd touch base with you guys - i feel like all this other stuff going on is way beyond me (cyber and intellectually speaking), i'm just plain old me. as ever......

i'll pop in now and again - peak from behind my computer, making sure all the scary people are away when i do!

Having read a few threads in this forum I have to say this one has a great feel to it. My advice, for what it's worth, is to ignore the idiots that come here purely to cause trouble and unrest. These people obviously have a problem with anyone who seem to have a grasp of general decency, good manners and a willingness to help others whenever and however they can!

Carry on the way you always have as the good always win over the bad!

I hope you don't mind if I stick around!:)

Two nuns, Sister Marilyn and Sister Helen, are travelling through Europe in their car. They get to

Transylvania and are stopped at a traffic light. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a tiny little Dracula jumps onto the hood

of the car and hisses through the windshield. "Quick, quick!" shouts Sister Marilyn. "What shall we do?" "Turn the

windshield wipers on. That will get rid of the abomination," says Sister Helen. Sister Marilyn switches them on,

knocking Dracula about, but he clings on and continues hissing at the nuns. "What shall I do now?" she shouts.

"Switch on the windshield washer. I filled it up with Holy Water at the Vatican," says Sister Helen. Sister Marilyn

turns on the windshield washer. Dracula screams as the water burns his skin, but he clings on and continues hissing

at the nuns. "Now what?" shouts Sister Marilyn? "Show him your cross," says Sister Helen. "Now you're talking,"

says Sister Marilyn. She opens the window and shouts, "Get the **** off the car!"

Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times

with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up,

examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one

more chance?

 

 

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end you

first try?

 

 

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our

ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so,

why do we say, "It's all right?" Well, it isn't all right so

why don't we say, "That hurt, you stupid idiot?"

 

 

If at first you don't succeed, shouldn't you try it like your

wife told you to do it?

 

 

.And my FAVORITE......

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four

persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness.

Think of your three best friends, if they're okay, then it's

you.

" TWO BLIND PILOTS

 

Two men dressed in Pilots' uniforms walk up the aisle. Both are wearing dark glasses,

one is using a guide dog, and the other is tapping his way along the aisle with a cane. Nervous laughter spreads

through the cabin, but the men enter the cockpit, the door closes, and the engines start up. The passengers begin

glancing nervously around, searching for some sign that this is just a little practical joke. but none is forthcoming.

The plane moves faster and faster down the runway and the people sitting in the window seats realise they're headed

straight for the water at the end of the runway. As it begins to look as though the plane will plough into the water,

panicked screams fill the cabin. At that moment, the plane lifts smoothly into the air. The passengers relax and

laugh a little sheepishly, and soon all retreat into their magazines, secure in the knowledge that the plane is in good

hands. In the cockpit, one of the blind pilots turns to the other and says, "You know, Phil, one of these days, they're

gonna scream too late and we're all gonna die."

These are from a book called Disorder in the

American Courts, and are things people said in court,

word for word, taken down and now published by

court reporters who had the torment of staying calm

while these exchanges were actually taking place.

 

LAWYER: Are you sexually active?

WITNESS: No, I just lie there.

______________________________

LAWYER: What is your date of birth?

WITNESS: July 18th.

LAWYER: What year?

WITNESS: Every year.

_____________________________________

LAWYER: What gear were you in at the moment of

the impact?

WITNESS: Gucci sweats and Reeboks.

______________________________________

LAWYER: How old is your son, the one living with

you?

WITNESS: Thirty-eight or thirty-five, I can't

remember which.

LAWYER: How long has he lived with you?

WITNESS: Forty-five years.

______________________________________

LAWYER: What was the first thing your husband

said to you that morning?

WITNESS: He said, "Where am I, Cathy?"

LAWYER: And why did that upset you?

WITNESS: My name is Susan.

______________________________________

LAWYER: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a

person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until

the next morning?

WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam?

 

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

LAWYER: The youngest one, the twenty-year-old,

how old is he?

WITNESS: Uh, he's twenty-one.

________________________________________

LAWYER: Were you present when your picture was

taken?

WITNESS: Would you repeat the question?

______________________________________

LAWYER: So the date of conception (of the baby)

was August 8th?

WITNESS: Yes.

LAWYER: And what were you doing at that time?

WITNESS: Uh.…

______________________________________

LAWYER: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy,

did you check for a pulse?

WITNESS: No.

LAWYER: Did you check for blood pressure?

WITNESS: No.

LAWYER: Did you check for breathing?

WITNESS: No.

LAWYER: So, then it is possible that the patient was

alive when you began the autopsy?

WITNESS: No.

LAWYER: How can you be so sure, Doctor?

WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk

in a jar.

LAWYER: But could the patient have still been alive,

nevertheless?

WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been

alive and practicing law

Lunching with English friends at the time of her husbands retirement, Madame de Gaulle was asked what she was

looking forward to in the years ahead. “A penis” she replied without hesitation. The embarrassed silence that

followed was broken by the former president “My dear, I don’t think the English pronounce the word like that, it is

’appiness’ “

A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and order the "Chicken Surprise". The waiter brings the meal, served in

a lidded cast iron pot. Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises slightly and she briefly sees two

beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back down. "Good grief, did you see that?" she asks her husband.

He hasn't, so she asks him to look in the pot. He reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees two little eyes looking

around before it slams down. Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, explains what has happened, and demands an

explanation. "Please sir," says the waiter, 'What you order?" The husband replies, "Chicken Surprise." "Ah... so sorry,"

says the waiter, I bring you Peeking Duck."
