    • and it will be also now written off under age related criteria anyway.
    • @dx100ukThanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe consequences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points? @Man in the middleI've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • 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.

hi

 

Ive been sacked because my timesheets dont match my tracking reports.

 

My ex boss verbally told everyone to book all times to the 1/4 of the hour, but he sacked me highlighting these times. All within tolerance.

 

My timesheets have been the same for 3 years, the same as everyone elses.

 

I HAD A JOB INTERVEIW ABOUT A MONTH AGO, AND A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER THE BOSS SAID "YOR LEAVING SOON ARNT YOU", I DID'NT COMMENT.

Has anyone else been sacked because of this?

 

Midge makes a good point:

 

a) Consistency of disciplinary action is very important. Thus if other employee's are doing this and no action is taken, this could make your dismissal unfair if you can prove it.

 

b) In addition the rule seems unclear as you were told by your boss 1/4 hour extra was ok

 

c) Custom and practice - if this happened for a long time are the new rules that the 1/4 hour is ok, you could argue this is in effect the 'rule'

 

Best of luck

 

Che

 

NB How long did you work there?

hi fellas

 

no, nobody else has been sacked for it, one of the lads booked 11 hours overtime the other week and he was told not to do it again.

 

the 1/4 of the hour rule was made to save administration costs, IE the girls in the office trying to total up minutes for the whole week.

 

i feel the boss's PA has knitpicked through my sheets looking for an excuse, ive since found out that the boss let his PA go 4 days later, what a guy?

It's perfectly acceptable to book to the 1/4 hour - most places do, i know i do.

 

Can you prove you wern't doing it for finacial gain? ie

 

Monday Finished @ 17.05 booked 17.00

Tuesday Finished @ 17.10 booked 17.15

Wednesday Finished @ 16.50 booked 17.00

Thursday Finished @ 16.35 booked 16.30

 

can you see where im going? if it was give and take and was generically accepted then you have a strong case of unfair dismisal

 

If it was all take however, you may struggle regardless how many other people were doing it (IMO) notwithstanding they should still follow procedure and you should have been given the opurtunity to "see the error of your ways" especially as you genuinely though it was a acceptable practice.

 

Good luck

 

Chris

i booked

7.30-8.30 travel

tracking report

7.39-8.19

 

the biggest difference was 21 min

7.00-8.00 travel

tracking report

7.21-8.03

 

on that occasion i was having car trouble (their car) i let the office know, but that was 3 weeks previous to my dismissal. I wasn't even asked why?, they just said this is unacceptable. i stated that the tracking report was a history of the veichles actions, but not my working duties ,ie

completing paperwork, using the phone to speak to a customer.

Very Good Point,

 

you stated that the biggest discrepancy was 21 mins and that was over 3 weeks ago, does this mean that the inconsistancies were few and far between???? and when they were only within a few mins.
