    • Daft question - but you filed the defence on-line on MCOL as dx indicated, right?
    • We looked up the e-mail address so communications would be in writing.  If you do stuff on the phone the other party can just deny the contents of the conversation.  They can't deny what's written in an e-mail. So time to sort Pete out.  Check the following for accuracy and change anything I've got wrong.  Then e-mail Pete this evening.  I was thinking of threatening the pub with legal action but let's initially be nice.   Dear Pete, Re: PCN no.XXXXX, claim form no.XXXXX on 23 July 2022 I was a customer at your pub and I attach proof of purchase. I was picking up my cousin Ms XXXXX and her family as she was working as a cook with you at the time.  I entered the pub through the back door, went to the bar, and ordered a drink and a meal.  At no point did any bar staff alert me that I needed to add my registration number or did I see any signs advising me to do so.  I then took a seat outside in a small seated area so I could chat to my cousin while waiting for her to finish work.  We were joined by the management of the pub and bar staff during my time waiting  I was shocked a few days later when I received a demand for £100 from Civil Enforcement Ltd.  i contacted the pub and was told "don't worry, it's not enforceable". Well, that information turned out to be nonsense because I have now received a county court claim form from CEL. I contacted the pub again on XXXXX and was extremely disappointed to be told "there's nothing we can do". Of course there is something you can do.  You are the organ grinder.  You called CEL in.  You can call your dogs off.  Your pub has absolutely superb reviews on Google Maps regarding the way in which you treat guests.  Do you really think customers should be dragged to court?  I'm sure you don't. I am therefore requesting that you intervene and instruct CEL to cease court action. Yours, XXXXX

    • 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.

Because deep own we are all small minded? Lol!

 

My toy parrot swears - a brother won him at a fair and the man said he had to disable the speech due to complaints, another brother enabled them, and the parrot is rather rude!

 

What made me smile is my (new to me ) Dell laptop arriving well before 10am, just getting everything loaded onto the nice clear desktop - I promise I won't drop it or clutter up the desktop unnecessarily!

 

My old Samsung had a broken screen, keyboard and graphics card.... so it was cheaper to get this Dell than repair the Samsung. Brother who got parrot to talk is coming this weekend to get my data off the old hard drive. Some I won't need but quite a bit I will.

 

I also had an MRI scan on my dodgy neck/hand problems and going back on 13th (not a Friday...) for the results.

Hi Sillygirl,

 

The parrot swearing is funny. I will admit that I told Apple Siri to F off to see what happens, and it asked if it had done something wrong!

 

Hoe your results are okay on the 13th.

Now trying to get my old laptop to 'talk' to my new laptop via the network! Got a Dell with a fancy lid for £160 from a refurb site, along with a brand new battery! I didn't need an 'all singing all dancing' laptop as I now nearly always download via my Kindle Fire (very fast) and this laptop has everything else I need. Got a very nice sound too when I play my talking books (usually have them on when housecleaning). Connected up to the home network first time and even got to print on my stroppy printer first time!

 

I even have HDMI on the laptop which I didn't have on the old one.

A clip on youtube entitled "Worst ever attempt at parallel parking". Well worth a watch.

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

Selling some blinds! I bought Timberlux blinds for all over my house, and they sent me two extra of my living room size, because they're bespoke they wouldn't accept them back as they said they'd have difficulty selling them, so they told me to "dispose of them"! Huh? They were £240 each, although I never paid for the spares! Anyway, I sold them! Someone got a bargain, and I got some money to buy some more fruit trees for my garden lol! Happy days!

@duckwaddler: nice! APple pies for all then! :D lol

 

At the moment it's gonna be sweet cheery and I've just ordered a Victoria plum, apparently you get roughly 100lbs of fruit per year, so I'm gonna be going mad with the plum jam and chinese plum sauce :lol:

 

What made me smile today was sitting in our kitchen having lunch with the door open, and one of the blackbirds that's nesting in our Lalandrii spying on us :lol: He was hilarious, and he kept shooting up to next doors roof, then dropping back down into the trees like a parachuter!

 

They're delighted because we had them all chopped and shaped back, it must feel like they've had a home makeover :-)

 

P.S. I will try get a short video of him next time and post it up!

An airline that cancelled my flight are giving me the thick end of £200 compensation, and I'm giving it to charity in lieu of the money they lost because I couldn't run the book stall for them the next day!

they're cheeky little buggers lol it was probably waiting for the chance to swoop in and nick some of your sandwhich LOL!

 

Yes they are, and you're probably right! Although I'm still missing our old friend, the one who used to mimic the neighbours car alarm :-( He was super cheeky, and was visiting us for years!

DD, thank you so much for posting this up! I am going to donate my old phone! I wonder if they would help my Godson too, he has leukemia, and misses out on a lot such as nursery because he's neutropenic a lot of the time, so has to be kept isolated in case he catches an infection!

He's doing okay Nystagmite, thank you for asking! It's just he misses out on a lot of nursery because of his immune system getting so low, he becomes neutropenic, which is even harder because he's a twin, and she can quite happily go off to nursery!

 

He's been on the treatment now for 18mths, and hasn't had one single infection in his hickman line, or his "wiggly" as he calls it :lol: I don't know how my friend does it, she has five other children and is on her own - their Dad walked out on her just before he was diagnosed, he'd come into some money, so wanted to live the single life! And she's had no support from him whatsoever!

 

And yes DD, I will definitely mention it to them!! I hope this little fella gets his IPad!

Your poor friend. I hope she is getting some money from him even if he's not giving her emotional support.

 

Even if he has walked out he should still be supporting his children with the money he's come into. What a b*****.

 

She's not had a penny from him! And he got rather a large sum of money, we're talking tens of thousands - he's bought a house with his Mum, but doesn't have his name on the deeds, because he's claiming benefits, also he works on the side at the family business!

 

The CSA ordered him to pay £5 per week between three (her eldest three are to her first Husband) because he's on benefits, and he doesn't even give her that! But you know how slow the CSA are for putting other means of getting it paid in motion!

 

They're beautiful children too, he won't realise what he's missed out on till it's too late!

sean_seany, that's fantastic that you look after your step dad.

 

Port and Brandy is great and has medicinal purposes too, so I don't see a problem having it for breakfast! :-)
