    • Even a Piers Morgan is an improvement and a gutless Farage Piers Morgan calls for second Brexit referendum WWW.THELONDONECONOMIC.COM Piers Morgan and Nigel Farage have faced off over Brexit and a second referendum in a heated reunion on BBC Question Time.   “Why don’t we have another referendum about Brexit?” he questioned. “I seem to remember when 2016 came around we were told there was going to be control of our borders and it was going to be economically beneficial to this country. And eight years later we have lost complete control of our borders… and economically it seems to have been a wilful act of self-harm.”   ... Piers missed off : after all somebody said a 48/52 decision would be "unfinished business" by a long way - was that person just bul lying (again)  
    • when did they (who) inform you there was a 'police case' and when was this attained? i will guess the debt is now SB'd as it's UAE 15yrs. have you informed the bsnk ever by email/letter of your correct and current address? you can always ignore anyone else accept the bank,  Block and bounce back all emails. Block any text messages  Ignore any letters unless it's: - a Statutory Demand - a Letter Of Claim - a Court Claimform via Northants bulk.  
    • I left Dubai 8 years ago and intended to return. However a job prospect fell through. I’d been there for 15 years. 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.

This is a shameless plug, be warned. :-D

 

Some of you may know that my youngest child has got Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism.

 

One of the problems with autism is the difficulty with socialising. Autistic kids often find themselves shunned from other children's activities, don't get invited to birthday parties, can't be taken to "normal" children activities, can't be left to play outside due to bullying or being led astray, and of course if they go to a special needs school, don't have the chance to have the network of local children around them.

 

The set-up is incredibly isolating both for the children and the parents.

 

In my community, we have Spectrum, run tirelessly by an absolute gem of a lady called Anita. Spectrum organises outings for the kids, a lunch club once a month for the carers, parents' support group, youth clubs for both under 12 and older children/young adults with autism, you name it.

 

Spectrum of course is starved for funding, and this is where I need CAGgers to get involved. Our local paper is running a "help in the community" campaign, and the winners will depend on the number of votes... Well, of course, autism being as isolating as it is, people rallying behind such a campaign is going to be difficult, so this is where you guys come in, I hope. :-D

At the moment the charities have to nominate themselves. Then once they are shortlisted, can readers (ie us) vote and it's not clear whether that can be on the web

Each nomination will go forward to our panel of judges, which consists of representatives from Barclays and East Surrey & Sussex News and Media, once short-listed you will be notified and then appear in the supplement week ending 24th April 2009. Readers will then be asked to vote for the project they feel deserves to win a share of the money via an in-paper coupon .

Hiya rooster.

I think what Webbie means is.. when you click on the big link and it takes you to that site, you end up on the page asking you to enter your charity etc. theres nothing on there for us to click to support bookies cause. ( at least thats what i think webbie means )

Please note that although my advice is offered, you should consult your legal representative before taking ANY action.

Should all be part of taxation if it is a valid required service, socialising children is a parental job pot luck the kids you get, charity for middle class people when the same middle class establishment is flooding the country with cheap labour to maintain their lifestyles regardless of working class poverty. Sure you are a great CAGer some working class autistic kids will never even know this charity exists. Pay people born here, who are culturally British more charity begins with your poor.

'Ten Dogs' thats nice I support your right to be supported by the state with unfairly generous pension provision. After all where would the country be without middle class dog owning civil servants who have taken early retirement.
