    • is the side street solely for access to your garages? who owns the land and thus the road? dx  
    • A local business has been parking on an off-street parking space in front of my garages (in a side street).  I wasn't using them for a while so didnt bother to do anything.  But now a second local business is also using the osp - taking it in turns with the 1st biz.  This has started to nark me.    The employees choose to drive to work.  There is no private parking in their business's street.  But there are some underground secure garages in their street - which cost apx £2.4k/y to rent - which works out apx £6.60/d. (I believe one of the biz owners already rent one for storage purposes).  If the employee had to park on a meter it would cost them £6.60/h - £66 for 10h and have to move every 4h.  They just don't want to pay for parking. I haven't confronted either of them.  Instead I just put 2 clear "no parking" signs in front of the garages. And a note on one of the cars specifically saying that as they don't live or rent in the street and it's private land could they stop parking.   They ignored that.  And just put notes on their dash with a # to call if one needs the car moved.  There is a sign and they've been told in writing to stop parking. And they are just ignoring it.    I don't what a confrontation.    I don't want to go to the expense of bollards (other than maybe traffic plastic ones - but they'll probs just move them).  Council won't do zilch cos it's private land. And police won't get involved - unless I clamp/ tow the cars and then they'd be after me, not the drivers!    What's the best thing to do?
    • yes might be the best idea. you'd only at best get 8% flat interest and that unusual on a GOGW if this was what it was. simply contact the FOS and let them know its resolved. dx  
    • If you’ve ever wondered how you might fare in armed combat, the first 20 minutes of Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan is likely to make you thank your lucky stars you were born too late to storm the Normandy beaches on June 6 1944. I suspect many of us might be driven to identify with those men who were absolutely turned to stone by fear. And yet these young men, mainly conscripts, screwed their courage to the sticking point and did the job the fate had chosen for them, heroes all.   .. UK PM Sunak perhaps thinks he understands mind numbing fear better than many as he dishonorably fled the beachhead to do nothing more than double down on dishonest spin and lies from the safety of a UK studio .. The Normandy heroes who not only held their positions, but advanced through hell to a victory that changed the entire course of history .. undoubtedly hold a different perspective.     from a perspective in TheConversation     .. 'That was the slot that sunaks team offered for the interview
    • Yes, send a message to the purchaser but keep it very friendly and simply that you noticed that the package has now been delivered.  I suggest that you ask them if they want to keep the package still or if they would rather return it and that if they want to keep it then please will they return your payment to you to your PayPal address. Keep it as polite and friendly as possible and then we will decide what to do if he doesn't reply or refuses.  Meanwhile I will have a look at Google earth and see if you are able to spot the gas meter outside the house to get an idea if the delivery is real.

    • 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.

our Shep had hip displacia. We rescued him and he will asways be remembered by us.

 

We had had him for nearly 4 yrs but its not the point. The place seems strange without him and its deffo to quiet.

 

We have not replaced him and i dont think we will be but we do have a dog who we have had for 3 years a lovely little Jack Russel. can be a pain and if anyone knows how we get him to stop peeing in the house it would help.

 

So sorry for all who have lost a beloved pet. I feel even sorrier though for those who will never understand what they mean to us and how much joy they bring. I lost my beloved staffy just over a year ago. He was 14. He was so special, could light my day up like nobody else. He had arthiritis and had to be put to sleep. The decision was surprisingly easy to make. However, resisting the urge to kick s**t out of the vet because my instinct to protect him by any means was SO strong, is by far the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. That includes giving up smoking. I still feel the loss and still cry for him. I think I allways will. He will allways be in my heart and i'll never forget him. He was one in a billion and I'm blessed to have had him in my life. It does get easier, but I don't think it will ever fully go away. I don't think i'd want it to either. But, at least now I can look at his pictures and smile. He meant the world to me, and to be able to do that took a long time. I'm a soft pup.

Chopping a big bag of onions up to freeze. Then chopping up chillies to marinade some chicken for tea tonight. Every time my hands go near my face my eyes start stinging and watering. The only thing I've not washed my hands in is oven cleaner!:rolleyes: Now where did I put that oven cleaner:p

Oooh, I didn't know you could freeze chopped onion.... I HATE choping onion. Eyes water to the point of being blind. Would be much easier to do it in bulk and get it over with! Do you just put them in normal freezer bags? Can you buy chopped onion to freeze, even better?!

You can buy them ready chopped but I prefer to freeze them myself.

Just pop them in a bag but leave plenty of room in it. Every now and then whilst they're freezing just massage them a bit (no not like that MTM:rolleyes:) to keep them seperated so they don't freeze as a big blob. Eazy Peazy

Thinking I have to go to the quacks with a dodgy mole or 2. And not of the garden variety! I wouldn't mind but I don't have many and avoid the sun like swine flu.

 

Better to get them checked out I suppose than sit wondering and ignoring.

 

 

Definatly, better to be safe than sorry:)

What made me swear today ?

 

1. Receiving a letter from Barclayshark telling me they've destroyed all account data older then six years in line with the Data Protection Act.

 

2. Telephoning the ICO and being told that a creditor CAN destroy all data of six years old or more as they aren't compelled to keep it longer.

 

Grrrrrrrrr
