    • I left Dubai 8 years ago and intended to return. However a job prospect fell through. I’d been there for 15 years. Anyway I decided to pay my credit card and the bank had frozen my account. There is no means to pay the CC so completely unable to pay when I wanted to other than the bank advising me to ask a friend in the UAE to pay it on my behalf!  fast forward bank informs there is a police case against me for non payment. Years later IDR chased me and after months/ years they stopped. Now Judge & Priestley are trying their luck. Now I have received an email in English and Arabic from JP saying the bank has authorised them to collect debts. Is this the same as IDR although I didn’t receive anything like this from them. Just says they are authorised?
    • The neighbour's house is built right on the boundary so the side of their house is effectively the 'wall' in our garden separating the two properties. It's a three storey house and so the mortar poses a potential danger to us. Because of the danger, we have put up an interior fence in our garden to ensure we don't risk mortar dropping on us. That reduces the garden by 25% which is not only an inconvenience, but it's the part of the garden where we had lined up contractors to install a patio and gazebo which we will use for our wedding reception in less than 2 months. We have spoken to the neighbour's caretaker who is on the case, has spoken with a roofer and possibly a scaffolding company, but there are several issues. They don't seem to understand the urgency. As long as there is a risk of falling mortar, we can't carry out any work in the garden, and unless they hurry up, we're looking at cancelling our wedding as it's not viable to book a venue because we can't use our own garden! Also, they want to put the scaffolding up in our garden which would be ok with us if it was a matter of a few days and they hurried up, but there is a tree (most likely protected by the conservation area), so most likely they can only reach part of the roof with the scaffolding if they put it up in our garden. We suggested a roofer with a cherry picker but they seem to want to use a company they've used before. Any and all comments, suggestions, advice is more than welcome.  PS. does it make any difference that the neighbour is a business (ltd) and not a private dwelling?

    • 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.

But has anyone ever had/considered breast reduction?

 

i'm seriously getting ****ed off with mine, with the attendant backache, and am starting to think seriously about it.

 

It's not that I'm that large (I don't think) but I can't get any tops to fit me properly and am fed up of my shoulders hunching all the time.

 

Anyone?

Breast enlargement....... yes please!!!! But I can't afford it! :(

 

Seriously though, my friend had hers reduced and she's never looked back. She hasn't had a days back pain since the op - and in her opinion, it's worth it just for that! She used to have really bad problems (especially in the winter for some reason) but she skips around like a young gal now! :)

on a serious note to the OPs question surgery is a big step - a friend of mine had the procedure and it went horribly wrong. this of course was not the norm & ive read about many girls who have had it done & its changed their lifes. - larger breasts arent all theyre cracked up to be. they do cause back/shoulder ache, you get stupid blokes that talk to them instead of your face & you cant get to wear dainty little strappy tops without having to wear a hammock of a bra to support them. having said that -some recent weight loss has reduced mine to a more acceptable size so im quite happy with mine :grin:

forgive my ignorance, but I'd assume that, if they were that large, that she'd be able to look back for the first time AFTER her op.

I'd be happy if I could just see my feet!

 

Seriously though, pinkduchess has hit the nail right on the head.

 

I'm not exactly overweight, so losing some will not help - I've always been big up top, but after my 2nd baby, I'm now an E cup, which I know isn't huge, but does look and feel ridiculous.

 

Mind you, my husbnad doesn't complain - but he doesn't have to carry them around all day!

you get stupid blokes that talk to them instead of your face

 

Correction: You get blokes that talk to them instead of your face. They don't have to be knuckle-draggers. One of my kids' headmaster was like that, we'd be having a serious conversation, and I bet he couldn't tell you the colour of my eyes. (40DD here, and can't wear underwired, but as I'm 5'10+, it's not too much of a problem, except for the dragging pain if I don't support them properly at all times, and forget running - ever).

LOL being a person on 5'10, mine go from 40DD to 40E, actually I like em having had not to much in that department till I had my first so its not a problem for me, but my friend had it done when she was the same size but about 6 inches shorter and a slighter build, it was superb and she has been great ever since.

you need to be able to show them how it adversely affecting your life, the grooves in your shoulders, the back ache and the general way in which it blights your life, sounds dramatic but that is the only way that they will consider doing it, it has to be for medical as opposed to cosmetic reasons.

I had breast augmentation and do not regret it. From having fried eggs to having a bust is great. It has given me so much confidence..like i can wear clothes that i couldnt, or wouldnt wear before.

so many people have problems with no bust, that it may seem weird to complain about the other way round.

 

but it does affect you, it really does - men do talk to your breasts - even your father-in-law, which can be quite disconcerting.

I know what you mean. I think that if you are born with a big bust, you are more self conscious about this. Although if you have no bust, you are too.

I can understand why women would like a reduction for medical reasons, as when i first had mine done i thought i had an elephant strapped to my chest.

I dont think many people are happy with what they are born with and plastic surgary today is more accessible to what it used to be.
