    • Do you have broadband at home? A permanent move to e.g. Sky Glass may not fit with your desire to keep your digibox,, but can you move the items you most want off the digibox? If so, Sky Glass might suit you. You might ask Sky to loan you a “puck” and provide access as an interim measure. another option might be using Sky Go, at least short term, to give you access to some of the Sky programming while awaiting the dish being sorted.
    • £85PCM to sky, what!! why are you paying so much, what did you watch on sky thats not on freeview?  
    • Between yourself and Dave you have produced a very good WS. However if you were to do a harder hitting WS it may be that VCS would be more likely to cancel prior to a hearing. The Contract . VCS [Jake Burgess?] are trying to conflate parking in a car park to driving along a road in order to defend the indefensible. It is well known that "NO Stopping " cannot form a contract as it is prohibitory. VCS know that well as they lose time and again in Court when claiming it is contractual. By mixing up parking with driving they hope to deflect from the fact trying to claim that No Stopping is contractual is tantamount to perjury. No wonder mr Burgess doesn't want to appear in Court. Conflation also disguises the fact that while parking in a car park for a period of time can be interpreted as the acceptance of the contract that is not the case while driving down a road. The Defendant was going to the airport so it is ludicrous to suggest that driving by a No Stopping  sign is tacitly accepting  the  contract -especially as no contract is even being offered. And even if a motorist did not wish to be bound by the so called contract what could they do? Forfeit their flight and still have to stop their car to turn around? Put like that the whole scenario posed by Mr Burgess that the Defendant accepted the contract by driving past the sign is absolutely absurd and indefensible. I certainly would not want to appear in Court defending that statement either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will do the contract itself later.
    • Yes - ignore. Because of another MET victim today I looked at all our MET cases back to June 2014 ... yes, 10 years. They have never dared take a motorist to court and argue their case before a judge.  They have started the odd court case, but as a means of trying to intimidate the motorist into coughing up, when the motorist defended and refused to give in it was MET who bottled it and discontinued.
    • Unpaid wages should be pretty straightforward if you did the work. Don't be intimidated. You need only show you were due money, and did not get money.   The risk is that they have no money to pay you (and legal fees) - frankly a solicitor maybe be costing them more than your claim is for and I might have expected them to make a commercial decision to settle before this point regardless of the merits of the case.

    • 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.

My eczema has flared up again. At least unlike when I had some sort of skin problem at uni, it's not visible and isn't on my face or hands. (well, it was on my eyelids. It stung like a bitch when the skin cracked on my hands)

 

 

I get bits of it sometimes. I used to get it on my face as a teen and quite recently had a shock when it came back on my face, possibly due to an allergic reaction to a relativley new moisturiser. I tried loads, then got the E45 anti itch cream (standard E45 wasn't doing anything) and it helped sooo much and it has gone away (phew). It was gone within a week. Hope you get it sorted, it's not a nice thing to have! *hugs*

It really hurts on the elbows :sad: have you tried "bio-oil"?

 

What made me want to swear today was getting home, settling down with a nice cup of coffee, and I've just remembered I forgot to put my lottery on :-x

Duckwaddler - play online?

 

What made me swear? My inability to eat anything involving a huge amount of sauce without making a mess. I really should get myself a bib... On the plus side, it didn't involve white clothing.

Your post had me laughing Nystagmite, either the muscles around my mouth have lost tone, or my chin has grown over the years as it seems to have evolved into a drip tray for gravies and sauces :smile::lol:

You're an angel Tilly. Don't know what I'd do without my carers *hugs*

 

And appreciative people such as you too!

 

 

What makes me want to swear today and everyday is a world filled with too many people who are selfish and unappreciative :sad:

Just found this out, and it's rather close to my heart! It really made me want to swear! I will copy the report as I don't yet have sufficient privileges to post the link, but it is on the BBC News website.

 

Opposition to Royal Brompton child heart surgery plans

 

 

Opponents of a proposal to end child heart surgery at the Royal Brompton Hospital have voiced their concerns at a public meeting.

The event, at the Emirates Stadium, started at 1100 BST and follows an NHS review of children's heart services.

Recommendations included stopping operations at up to five hospitals, including west London's Royal Brompton.

Almost 15,000 people have so far signed petitions in support of the Royal Brompton's paediatric heart services.

Last month, the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust launched legal action against the Joint Committee of Primary Care Trusts, which conducted the review.

The trust said recommendations were "fundamentally flawed" and any consultation based on them would be "unlawful".

In London children's heart surgery would be carried out at Evelina Children's Hospital and Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital if the review body's recommendations go ahead.

A spokesman for NHS London said no decisions would be made until the four months of public consultations were completed in July.

"This national review looks at finding the right number and location of children's heart surgery across the country - not just in London - to give seriously ill children better care and ultimately save lives," he said.

Leslie Hamilton, vice chair of Safe and Sustainable, the NHS group reviewing children's congenital heart services, said he believed there had been a recognition by some experts in the field that "change is needed" based on clinical evidence that larger units had better results "by way of fewer deaths and fewer complications".

Children's heart surgery has been performed at Royal Brompton since 1969 and more than 400 children are operated on each year, according to the trust.

Wonder how the fat cats would get serious services for their children as private care hospitals don't have the resources.

 

So true BB :-(

Quite right, i've posted similar before somewhere but yes, with the preconditions and other criteria imposed on private medical policies, even the priveleged would have a problem without the NHS. We don't want to go down the American way. I believe the bull is being taken by the horns tday in Government to review the plans. I would've thought Mr DC would have learnt by the problem caused by his predecessor in the 80's/90's the mess that had to be cleared up after leaving the NHS to deteriorate. False economy.

Realising other night when came home for first time on a bus with my kids, that for some reason had judge one of the passangers as a threat, was whispering evil under my breath according to daughter. What the hell that was about all I can think is thank goodness it wasnt like last time when I started sweating at people for no reason at the shops.

 

Thought I had had a good night, well I did, but looks like someone was trying to sneak out:madgrin:

How difficult it is to get a job. Self-employment has been suggested, but it simply won't be viable. Unless I want to look like death (I study part-time too and disability makes both difficult) by Wednesday.

The DSS.... however have third meeting in 5 days with them tomorrow morning. Seems Belfast have 'lost' some documents I gave in so getting them to confirm receipt and send them by fax to the office which wants them (same office already has documents with my council tax claim so why they want them again is a mystery).

 

Manager there seems okay though, I spoke to her last time.
