    • We initially raised a complaint with the finance company who told us that as its over 6 months the consumer rights act won’t apply and we would need to provide evidence of the problem being there at purchase. As we have only just got the report from Mercedes we haven’t been able to submit this within their 14 day timeframe. Is this not the case then? Thanks
    • The previously little-known Chinese-American businessman’s fortune was transformed by the British taxpayer through 11 government contracts worth approximately £4.3bn for lateral flow tests (LFTs) made in China and sold by Innova. Charles Huang says contracts generated $2bn (£1.6Bn) profit   The government fast-tracked the company after its British representatives sent a direct email to Dominic Cummings, the chief adviser to the then prime minister, Boris Johnson, in July 2020. And, a Guardian investigation has found, the fast-tracking of Innova was supported by the then chancellor Rishi Sunak’s team at the Treasury. Innova became for a period of at least four critical months the only company authorised to supply rapid Covid tests in the UK, despite scores of others developing similar kits. At the time, the government spending watchdog raised concerns   Boss of US firm given £4bn in UK Covid contracts accused of squandering millions on jets and properties | Coronavirus | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Exclusive: Rishi Sunak’s team helped fast-track deal with firm founded by Charles Huang, who says contracts generated $2bn profit

    • 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.

I collapsed this morning, dont know if epilepsy turn or just lost balance, but anyway son stayed at home as does not officially have to be in school this week apparantly.

 

He was peed off that a revision session yesterday was without notice cancelled and they were told to just hang around for four hours, so he came home and did not go back in afternoon as his mates did not either, they were peed off.

 

Anyway had to smile when found that the school revision team made an effort and suprising call to house to double check he was going to other vital sesions and he of course confirmed he would. Explained i had collapsed and just back from doctors, but had to smile at his expression when told him the teachers had come to snatch him to school:lol: I know round here they send a van round form schools to collect truants and joked it was on the way.

 

So they were lovely re my being ill and a pleasant visit to show they do care re what the kids are doing for the exams xx :)

I smiled when the birds flock round my bird feeder after I had renewed the seed balls this afternoon.:-)

 

I do this but we have big fat pigeons who come and peck through the mesh until they drop on the floor!

 

It's quite entertaining watching them trying to balance whilst they do this and then look at you through the conservatory window, just waiting for you to see them off!

Embarassed myself in front of lots of peeps the other day by falling flying over a speed bump while looking for my car in a car park!

 

Nothing more than a few bruises and a dented ego fortunately. :lol:

My son had found some stickers in an old comic and started sticking them to my left (.). When I looked down, I realised that they were pictures of coconuts and words such as 'biggest' and 'smallest'!!

 

Really didn't realise that I was so lobsided.......
