    • The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024 The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).   Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above -  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport" Dear “To whom it may concern” My name is ??  PCN:  ?? Veh Reg: Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024 I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay.  This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay. I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport. The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds) There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules. Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit.  So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome.. With gratitude    
    • Just to enlarge on Dave's great rundown of your case under Penalty. In the oft quoted case often seen on PCNs,  viz PE v Beavis while to Judges said there was a case for claiming that £100 was a penalty, this was overruled in this case because PE had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park free for other motorists which outweighed the penalty. Here there is no legitimate interest since the premises were closed. Therefore the charge is a penalty and the case should be thrown out for that reason alone.   The Appeals dept need informing about what and what isn't a valid PCN. Dummies. You should also mention that you were unable to pay by Iphone as there was no internet connection and there was a long  queue to pay on a very busy day . There was no facility for us to pay from the time of our arrival only the time from when we paid at the machine so we felt that was a bit of a scam since we were not parked until we paid. On top of that we had two children to load and unload in the car which should be taken into account since Consideration periods and Grace periods are minimum time. If you weren't the driver and PoFA isn't compliant you are off scot free since only the driver is liable and they are saying it was you.

    • Doubt the uneconomic write off would be registered, unless you agreed to accept write off settlement of the claim. It is just cosmetic damage. All that has happened, is that the car has been looked at and they realised the repair costs are going to exceed the value of the car. If the car is perfectly driveable with no upcoming normal work required to pass next MOT, your current Insurers will continue Insurance and you can accept an amount from third party Insurers to go towards you repairing the scratched bodywork.

    • 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.

The secret of the Wottingers….

 

After months of careful research the reason behind the Wottingers persistent absence from their house in the Night Garden has become clear. They moonlight - as do the Pontipines. Arriving early in the garden one day, this reporter followed the Wottingers as they left their house and took a taxi across the woods to another set where an alternative version of the programme was being filmed. The Wottingers home in this other set comes fully equipped with a plasma television, Wii, outside jacuzzi and fully-stocked walk-in freezer. Lavished by a level of attention not seen since the heady days of Beatlemania, the Wottingers take part in a variety of events, riding the Nissan Ninky Nonk and playing Air Guitar hero with the Tombliboos .

After a long day, the Wottingers return exhausted to their house in the original Night Garden, too tired to take part in anything but not too tired to take the regular pay cheque. A vast brood of demanding Wottingers requires a lot of maintenance after all!

As a surprise footnote to this discovery, this reporter noted with surprise that as daylight arrived, a batch of bedraggled-looking Pointpines turned up in a taxi and made their way into the Wottingers luxury home. As the daddy Pointpine passed the daddy Wottinger he was seen to press a guinea into his greasy wooden palm. So - thieves and benefit frauds all.

Pinky Ponk GPS

 

Yesterday, the Pinky Ponk got stuck in a tree. The series of events leading up to this calamity were unassuming, as events often are in the Night Garden. However, right before the Pinky Ponk got stuck in the tree branches, it flew into a tree trunk, ricocheted off and got wedged in some other branches.

The occupants of the Pinky Ponk at the time (which included everyone except the Haahoos and the Wottingers) dislodged the Pinky Ponk by swaying backwards and forwards — much like a rally car driver.

After the Pinky Ponk had landed, I asked Igglepiggle what happened:

‘Well, ‘, said Igglepiggle, ‘usually, Pinky Ponks GPS will guide it through the trees and around any obstacles it might find in the garden.’

‘Why not this time?’ I ask, ’surely the tree it hit didn’t just pop into existance?’

‘Haha, no!’ laughed Igglepiggle, ‘it’s actually quite embarressing, but there are two possible reasons that the GPS stopped working; one, the batteries ran out, or two, and this one is more likely, it was a TIE’.

‘A Tie?’, I ask, shaking my head, ‘What is that?’

‘A Tittifer Induced Error’ said Igglepiggle. ‘It means that either a Titterfer has flown too close to the Pinky Ponk GPS and blocked the signal, or, and this is the embaressing bit, a Tittifer pooped onto the Pinky Ponk GPS ariel!’

I heard Upsy Daisy snigger.

‘This time though’, said IP, ‘a Tittifer flew too close. They do it on purpose sometimes for fun. The Pinky Ponk makes the funny frustrated farting noise then!’

Right - that does it - I can't stand this any more. I'm just turning on CBeebies to see what all the fuss is about.

Today wasnt a particularly good day to watch it was more for the specialist audience, tomorrow you will see the Tombliboos and be able to do the Makka Pakka dance and perhaps even see his OCD in all its glory :-)

No, it's absolutely right - Lula and I try to be all grown-up and sensible, but it always comes back to ITNG in the end.

What a pip!

I did like Upsy Daisy - and Iggle Piggle was a very naughty not going to bed at the end.

As you can tell by my avatar (and the student photos my friend posted on facebook last night) I have an affinity with Upsy Daisy.

 

Iggle Piggle doesn't go to bed every night - unfortunately, the poor love has memory problems due to the drugs they put in the Pinkyponk juice, so he just forgets.

 

And every night Derek Jacobi has to remind him.

Yes, I saw your pics.

 

I much prefer Numberjacks to ITNG, I'm afraid. I even logged onto their site and listened to the Scary Spoon song.
