    • Thank you to you all, you guys are amazing!! Yes of course i will be making a donation, i am very grateful to you all. Keep up the good work
    • I'm not quite out of the woods yet. The email they sent me also said that I have £290 of arrears and it has been passed onto their collections department. If anything my account should be £10 in credit.  They haven't taken into account the trainers that were returned back in October. The other items have been credited to my account so it looks like I've still got work to do.  They are not very quick to reply to emails, although I've only sent one trying to find more information, and I have no idea what happens next. Half of me want's to get it sorted properly the other half just wants it over with, if that means a default then so be it. 
    • No. It's a public (council maintained) road with some houses in it.   Some other houses back onto it too and those owners have right of way down the road to access the back of their properties.  Theres a few garages with private osp - so one drives out the garage, over the osp, and onto the public side road and then out on to the public main road.  Irrespective of whether the garages are used - the local businesses parking their cars on the private osp are ostensibly preventing cars from accessing the public roads.
    • is the side street solely for access to your garages? who owns the land and thus the road? dx  
    • A local business has been parking on an off-street parking space in front of my garages (in a side street).  I wasn't using them for a while so didnt bother to do anything.  But now a second local business is also using the osp - taking it in turns with the 1st biz.  This has started to nark me.    The employees choose to drive to work.  There is no private parking in their business's street.  But there are some underground secure garages in their street - which cost apx £2.4k/y to rent - which works out apx £6.60/d. (I believe one of the biz owners already rent one for storage purposes).  If the employee had to park on a meter it would cost them £6.60/h - £66 for 10h and have to move every 4h.  They just don't want to pay for parking. I haven't confronted either of them.  Instead I just put 2 clear "no parking" signs in front of the garages. And a note on one of the cars specifically saying that as they don't live or rent in the street and it's private land could they stop parking.   They ignored that.  And just put notes on their dash with a # to call if one needs the car moved.  There is a sign and they've been told in writing to stop parking. And they are just ignoring it.    I don't what a confrontation.    I don't want to go to the expense of bollards (other than maybe traffic plastic ones - but they'll probs just move them).  Council won't do zilch cos it's private land. And police won't get involved - unless I clamp/ tow the cars and then they'd be after me, not the drivers!    What's the best thing to do?

    • 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.

Lissen up peeps...those who attended the inaugural CAG Pasty Meet/Eden Picnic will back me up on this - a five gallon tub of Bookie's so called rice salad appeared...and a five gallon tub of the stuff departed at hometime...

 

And as for the inaugural CAG Mod Meet, the scenario was exactly the same...

 

Pots au chocolat - I would certainly give them a try, but Bookie's rice salad...???...I wouldn't touch it with yours...

Sorry...oxymoron alert...the word 'good' should not appear in the same sentence as Bookie's rice salad...

Phew, I'm so pleased you're not totally going Bookie :)

 

I'm sure you will have your reasons but a break's as good as a rest and I'm sure you will come back with renewed vigour.

 

Please say you're not going to go altogether though :eek:

 

I have spent many hours reading your posts (not all 18,000 of them I have to say :D I'm saving the rest for when I retire :eek:) and have been both amazed, totally creased up laughing and almost in tears (but also full of admiration ;)).

 

How you can respond so politely to some of the cr*p you have had thrown at you I will never know :D

 

Anyway, I digress - so back OT, I think I'm off rice salad for a while - will stick to my pasties :lol:

my rice salad is wonderful and very very tasty

 

Actually I have to agree, even though it would be fun to join in and take the mickey like everyone else.

 

Even the weird looking really thick vinaigrette type stuff which went with it was rather yummy.

 

 

I remember you posted the recipe in the old Bear Garden. Alas it has now gone with all those posts. Perhaps it should be reposted for everyone's benefit.

There's always one, isn't there, one who really has to put a fly in the ointment...here we have all and sundry decrying the rice salad (because it is yukky) but you have to say it is nice...and then you ask for the darned recipe!!!

 

Heavens man, don't encourage her...I don't think I could survive seeing rice salad for a third consecutive year...

Ah Barra Barra Barra. I know you have your principles to consider, but if you ate anything but veggie food you would realise that rice salad just doesn't do anything for us confirmed carnivores who are used to the taste of so much more scrumptious goodies.

 

I was served a veggie risotto t'other night which looked remarkably like the offending salad. Best of it was I was on a sodding sheep farm and they had loads of chickens too. What was that all about?:rolleyes:

I have yet to sample the delights(?) of the rice salad. I would like to try it before making judgement. Any chance of an invite (apart from the Liverpool gathering. I would really liked to have met Janet)

BEFORE starting your claim read through the FAQ's and if there's something you aren't sure of then ask.
