    • They couldn't afford to cut the NI level - having to borrow to do it - which breaks common sense rules let alone fiscal rules Unc   .. and thats just based on what we know of their fiscal incompetence, let alone any hidden costs
    • Interesting question regarding what Government accounts opposition parties have access to, before an General Election. From what I understand, Government department accounts that are published are always lagging behind and would not include some amounts which are classified as 'commercially sensitive'.  Therefore opposition parties and Parliamentrary select committees would not have access to accounts which contain real time up to date information. If a new Government have found £20 billion of spending liabilities they did not know about, this could be true, as £20 billion is not that much when you look at total Government expenditure. Government department are making decisions on spending all of the time and it could be the previous Government were planning tax changes and/or spending cuts to balance the books.  Jeremy Hunt has recently said that if the Tories had stayed in Government and held an Autumn budget, it would have been very difficult to cut taxes as some had wanted.
    • Everyone knows the tories were hiding the costs - and even added 4 billion quid to the taxpayers high interest credit card to fund a chunk of the NI tax reduction - prime example - look at how much cost was hidden re the Rwanda dogwhistle -10 Billion quid     and re the handful of rebels on the benefit limit If the disasters (like the Rwanda rubbish) of Tory dogs being wagged by the extremist minority ERG tail doesn't highlight the issues ..

    • Trump instigated that didnt he @theoldrouge despite losing the election - and Biden mitigated as much as he could within his boundaries?   "President Donald Trump ordered a rapid withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Afghanistan and Somalia in the wake of his 2020 election loss"   “The order was for an immediate withdrawal, and it would have been catastrophic,” said Rep.

    • ok your WS is wrong. Paragraph 16 and 17 says  you did not contract with evri but this is not true - see below  Furthermore to the eBay Powered By Packlink T&Cs that Evri is referring to, Clauses 3b and c of the T&Cs states:  (b)   Packlink is a package dispatch search engine that acts as an intermediary between its Users and Transport Agencies. Through the Website, Users can check the prices that different Transport Agencies offer for shipments and contract with the Transport Agency that best suits their needs on-line. (c)  Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency post 251 of occy thread - £844 lost    you should also add a paragraph on donough v Stevenson talking about the fact that even without contract there is still duty of care to goods and by failing to deliver this duty has been breached.   Make those changes and post it back up here and I'll check over things again

    • 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.

My husband has just got a letter saying he is going to be prosecuted for speeding. He was 6MPH over limit,allegedly, he says he was not so we are going to fight this on a matter of principle. Thanks to CAG I am not afraid of courts now but would like some honest advice.He had been driving for 41 years and has always had a clean licence. He said that he saw the mobile speed camera which clocked him. If you think we will be wasting our time please be honest and say so. regards Hils

Guest interesting

Bookworm and/or other mods.

This is a forum about Parking Tickets/Traffic Wardens, why is this message still in here and even more to the point, why after seeing it havent you moved it to somewhere more appropiate ? (surely the website, if you have moved it will remove the message thread as well !!)

Surely as Mods, you understand the role and/or get the website doing what it should.

Since at the moment, we haven't a forum for traffic itself, this is the closest relevant one, which is why I have moved it in here from where it was (in the Bear Garden). If in the future, the forum owners decide to create a traffic section, then I will move this type of thread in it. Thank you for your concern.

I think you have competition for your job as moderator!

Stopped for Speeding

 

An French priest is driving to Paris and gets stopped for speeding in Lyon.

The gendarme smells alcohol on the priest's breath and then sees an empty wine bottle on the floor of the car.

 

He says,"Sir, have you been drinking?"

 

"Just water," says the priest.

 

The gendarme says, "Then why do I smell wine?"

 

The priest looks at the bottle and says, "Good Lord! He's done it again!"

 

Apologies to the OP

...Just couldn't resist the co-incidence to previous Posts in the Thread!...lol...:D

Oh, gods, but then I have to nitpick because private tickets aren't offences as they're not criminal, and some Councils operate under decriminalised schemes...sorry Auntie Bookie... :o

 

PS - why does 'interesting' even care?? :D

Rivetting though this debate is, it doesn't anawer the OP's original question.

 

Speeding is an absolute offence; there is no leeway - you are breaking the law at 1 mph over the posted limit. To be 'clocked' at 36 mph, I would suspect that the car's speedometer was reading welll above the limit.

 

Police guidelines are not to prosecute for speeds below Limit+10%+2 mph (ie 35 in a 30; 46 in a 40, etc.). However, they are only guidelines.

 

Bookie's first post on the thread supplies the best advice: go over to Pepipoo and ask the experts there. I would hazard that most speeding cases are won on an official screw-up in procedure rather than actual measurement.

Well it has taken me ages to find this thread! I thought it had been deleted, thank you all for your advice, We bought a rahter nice Jag at the begining of the year and after all the abuse we have had and now this I dont think it is worth having something "different" Life was a lot more simple when we had a beat up old car. I am not sure what we are going to do, hubby now thinks he ought to take it on the chin and just pay up.
