    • So @theoldrouge where was farage during the D-day honors/remembrance ? He was quick to trash Sunak - but at least sunak showed his face heh?   Sunak perhaps needs to slip some dosh to led by donkeys to fund some banners in Clacton heh? Suggestions: D-day - Sunak maybe ran, but Farage never even showed Farage I'm the only one who can change my mind - dont you plebs think you can Clacton, who wants to spend time in Clacton? 48/52 is unfinished business - ooops eerrrr no it is  ...  err well unless its what I lose by Reject me 1 times shame on you, Reject me 7 times shame on me   Heres how: A statesman - and not just in waiting
    • Yep let us have a good laugh eh from today’s Telegraph 🤣😂🤣 the rest must try harder    Farage won Friday’s election debate, a poll finds Nigel Farage won Friday night’s seven-way BBC election debate, according to a poll.  A snap poll of 1,031 voters by More in Common found most thought Mr Farage won the debate, followed by Angela Rayner. Mr Farage received 25 per cent of the vote while Ms Rayner received 19 per cent. The Green Party’s Carla Denyer was the third most popular with 11 per cent, Stephen Flynn for SNP received 10 per cent and Penny Mordaunt, the leader of the House of Commons, took 7 per cent of the vote. Daisy Cooper, the deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats and Plaid Cymru’s Rhun ap Iorwerth took 5 per cent and 2  per cent respectively. The debate saw Britain’s main seven political parties clash ahead of the general election on July 4.  Mr Farage, who returned to frontline politics for Reform this week and is standing as an MP in Clacton, challenged his political rivals on immigration and net zero policies.
    • Hi CAG Team, I'm seeking your skills and help for a NtK my partner received through the post earlier this week. To give a little backstory, my partner and I, along with our young children (4 and 7), decided to go on a camping holiday about 3 hours away from us. We took a car each because we didn't have enough room in one car. We arrived at the services at very similar times as we followed each other the whole way. So, two cars. My partner has received this NtK, but I haven't. This NtK dropped through the front door on Wednesday, June 5, 2024.  We both parked in the Burger King car park, not in BP; we got out, all went for a toilet break, got some food from the BP garage and returned to our cars to eat.  After eating, we took the kids to the toilet again before leaving to complete our journey. I didn't notice any parking restriction signs and can't get back to the location due to how far away it is. I noticed another person had an issue here and reported it to you, and they managed to get the charge dropped. See below. To me, it looks like they have cameras at the complex's entrance and exit. I'm not sure if they own the land/car park by Burger King, I'm not sure if this is a legal contract or not.  I find that 30 mins limit at a Services that serves hot food to be ridiculous and unfair, especially as we had kids to feed and water.  And the fact that I didn't receive the same NtK despite us driving in and out together is just crazy. This is the location - I also uploaded a map image. Google Maps MAPS.APP.GOO.GL ★★★☆☆ · Restaurant 1 Date of the infringement 24th May 2024 2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] 29th May 2024 3 Date received 5th June 2024 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?] N 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Y - Only entering and exiting the complex/land. 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] N 7 Who is the parking company? MET 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] BP Blue Boys, Tonbridge TN12 7HE For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. POPLA I hope you can help me out with some guidance on how to proceed with this. Let me know if you need anything else. Thank you, Passerby0233 2024-06-08 13_17_52-Burger King - Google Maps — Mozilla Firefox.pdf NtK_29-05-2024.compressed.pdf

    • 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.

went into town this morning to look at something. I was told that if I bought this, I could get a £100 voucher to spend in their shop. One of the assistants said "you could buy £100 worth of jelly beans." I will pass on that, I think!

I can finally eat "battered chippy fish"!!!!!!!!

 

I'm allergic to gluten and wheat, so have not have a delicious piece of battered fish for god knows how long - anyway, we found gluten free flour, and I've done loads of experimenting - last night we had battered fish and chips............OMG!!! It was even tastier than the regular, and cost a fraction of the price than if it was from the chippy...AND it's healthier!

 

My Husbands gone gluten free too now, he did it to support me originally, but said he'd never go back to gluten based products, even he is feeling the benefits!

My Dad. Went in to see him in his nursing home, was dead chuffed because he ate his supper and managed quite a bit of water. When he was ready for bed, I helped him take his shoes off, only to have him stare at me in a baleful manner and say "You're not very good at this, are you? you'll probably get sacked...not to worry though, you'd probably manage alright behind a Bar". cheers Dad. :-)

Again, my Dad. Don't know if his new medication is starting to kick in, but he was on brilliant form tonight...laughing and happy, eating and drinking. Can't really ask for more right now.

 

I can't say enough good things about the care home staff - they have some very challenging patients in at the minute (and they're not supposed to), but they still took the time to chat to me about how Dad is doing and clearly spend a lot of time with him. I know they're on a very low wage, but the job they're doing is brilliant. There's one young girl there who deserves a medal, in fact. Given how poor his care has been up until now, I'm not sure that there's a box of chocolates of a size that's sufficient to express my gratitude.

 

I can go to bed tonight tired, but happy. :-)

Cheers Caro. Shant see any of it cause it will go straight into the account to pay off some of the debt balance, but still a good result never the less.

Keep up the fight against Bank Charges.
