    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS polled FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the and the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?
    • "as I have no tools available to merge documents, unless you can suggest any free ones that will perform offline merges without watermarking" (which you don't) ... but ok please upload the documents and we'll go from there
    • Please go back and read my message posted at 10:27 this morning @jk2054. I didn't say that I wasn't going to provide documents, only that I will upload them to an online repo that I am in control of, and that I would share links to these. You shall still be able to read and download them no different from if they were hosted here. And, the issue I have is not so much with hosting, but using an online pdf editor to create a multi-page pdf, again I have discussed this that same message.
    • Thanks ,DX, I'd forgpotton about that letter and can't remember sending a SB letter. I must have left it and they did not chase. Unclebulgia. Yes several periods of no contact. Think its time for the SB letter . 
    • well if your not going to upload documents because you are too scared of your data being stolen and someone rocking up to you we are going to struggle to help you peoples energy data breach has nothing to do with a hosting site...

    • 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.

A friend of mine was at her local park in Middlesex today with her children and her OH - there was an elderly couple there who had both recently been made homeless :-x

You know what BurlyB? I have a strong feeling something big is going to emerge about the conservatives - in particular David Cameron, I'm not sure what, but I have this feeling he's going to have to stand down from his position.

 

As for who will have their new home, it makes no difference to me - the point is it's their home and should never have been taken from them, everybody - no matter who they are should have a home, there should be NO homeless in a country such as the UK, what a disgrace this country has become!

I have had this feeling about this govt from the day it formed.................he is NOT a teflon Tone even if he thinks he is hes a waxy semi orange limpwrist who should have NEVER come to power in the first place but heyho thats what the nation wanted thats what they got........but I for one can rest on the knowledge that I never voted for them and as for lib dems ....our town MP was called crass and childish by Betty Boothroyd within the first few minutes of it opening with him there as our mp he's still a worthless pile of offal bone and blood and I will never see him as anything else and how he got a knighthood is beyond any comprehension to not just me but most of the townsfolk...the only decent thing about him now is his haircut....from mop head to something almost human

My passport which is my primary source of ID as I don't have a driving licence or marriage certificate, runs out on Sunday, the DWP are now reconsidering the position on helping me renew it, but won't have any info for two weeks! In that time I have a job interview and have to take my passport..... talk about double standards there. They have said I 'could' use a Citizens Card but that isn't acceptable as 'proof of work entitlement'!

It's time to renew my bus pass. Nowhere does it say that in order to renew, I must bring in evidence. This is despite the fact that a) I am on a register held by social services and b) I've had a bus pass since mid-2007 and nothing has changed.

I have swore about 10 times today, each time I got an unwanted sales call or text. Thats why I joined today to seek help in stoping it.

 

Most of them are just off chance calls and text, have you contacted the companies direct and asked them to put a stop to them? That's what I did and I've had no further texts or calls.

 

Waking up in the small hours to a face full of rain! Quite obviously heavy rain and wind came on through the night, and I had the window open :lol:

aol sending a letter to a friends dad who passed away recently addressed to Mr deceased after being notified and his account cancelled:-x

 

Absolutely outragious!

 

I remember when my Daughter was stillborn, and the very hospital I had her in sent me an anti-natal appointment around a month later, so it wasn't as if it could have even crossed in the post or anything.

 

And they say they learn lessons from this?
