    • Speaking of the reformatory boys, here they are with all of their supporters, some of whom traveled with them from miles away, all carefully crammed together and photographed to look like there were more than about 80 .. rather like Farages last rally with even fewer people crammed around what looked like an ice cream van or mobile tea bar ... Although a number in the crowd apparently thought they were at a vintage car rally as they appeared to be chanting 'crank-her'. A vintage Bentley must be out of view.   Is this all there is? Its less than the Tory candidate. - shut up and smile while they get a camera angle that looks better

    • Now that is an interesting article which adds afew perspective that I hadn't thought significant - but on reflection of the perspectives offered ... Now Starmer is no Blair, however 'blairite he may be perceived, but the Tories aren't tories and aren't even remotely liberal   The fast 'unannounced and unexpected election call from sunack may well be explained by the opinion linked that he hoped reform would be unprepared and effectively call a chunk of Farages largely empty bluster - making him look even more of a prat, leave scope for attacks on shabby reform candidates and mimimise core vote losses to reform - while throwing the 'middle ground' (relative) tories TO THE DOGS - and with the added bonus of likely pacifying his missu' desire to jogg off to sunny cal tout suite somewhat   thumb in the air - I expect about 140ish tory seats, but can hope for under a hundred Reform - got to admit the outside possibility of 1, maybe 2 seats with about 8% of the vote - but unlikely. I think projections of over 10% of the vote for reform is nudged and paid for speculation - but possible with the expected massive drives from Russian, Chinese and far right social media bot and troll prods targeting the gullible.

    • 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.

Hi.

I always do my weekly shop at Sainsburys but I thnk that may be about to change.

3 times out of the last 4 weeks I have had an out of date product.

The first time it was 2 joints of pork. Both were in date and stored in the fridge until we came to use them, upon opening the packet they smelt awful so ended up in the bin.

The week after I defrosted some chicken fillets ready for tea, got the Spanish chicken sauce out of the cupboard and that too was out of date. It was Sept 6th and the sauce was out of date end of Aug so that went in the bin aswell. I know it wasn't much out of date but we don't eat anything like that once the date has passed.

Last week I came to make some ready brek for my baby girl and I opened the box, then spotted the date. Best before July 06! 2 months out of date. That was the final straw, luckily I had the receipt so I took it back but the girl did not even apologise. She said i could have my refund of £1.85 and she would get the guy off the section to look at it.

I think the stock rotation system seriously needs looking at. Such a big supermarket should not be selling stuff that is 2 months out of date.

I know I should probably check the dates myself but getting round the supermarket with the kids in tow is bad enough without having to scrutinise each item!

No excuse for Sainsbury's, but you would save yourself a lot of money if you didn't fall for the "sell-by date" ploy, especially when it comes to packet/tinned/dry stuff!

 

The sell-by date was introduced to stop unscrupulous retailers/manufacturers stocking stuff for years on end. It is NOT an indication that the stuff is not fit for consumption.

 

It is a SELL-by date, not CONSUME-by.

 

TBH, even when it comes to fresh food, you should trust your nose, not the date on it. Chicken don't come with a eat-by date naturally tattooed on their backsides.

 

It makes us wonder how our species managed to survive for millenia...:rolleyes:

It amuses me when fruit & veg have sell by dates on. It's pretty easy to tell if an orange or a potato is no good (it's mouldy or green and sprouting!). I love buying reduced fruit! My best buy was a big punnet of kiwis for 20p that weren't ripe for another three weeks...

 

I also go a couple of days with meat/fish/chicken - as Bookworm says, you can really easily tell when they're not fit for consumption.

I agree to an extent, but when it comes to stinking pork which you can smell as soon as you open the packet you know it's bad.

The sauce I could probably have eaten yes but I have a picky husband. But the ready brek was for our baby and I take absolutely no chances with her. It wasn't a sell by date that was on it. It was best before, so it's obviously 'best' eaten before the date has expired, not 2 months after it.

Your baby will be eating mud, her own bogeys, and far worse things than slightly out of date porridge very soon, if she isn't yet, lol.

 

Picky husband? Honey, don't tell him, he won't know! :-D

Sell by date is a legal requiremen to remove on that date. It usually means eat within a day - Best before date is a suggestion, shops do not have to remove product from the shelf as it is perfectly safe to eat.

When complaining, it is better to complain to head office, as they are more concerned about their reputation than people on the shop floor and will probably send you £20 voucher.

I worked in a shop and frankly was not bothered about Best Before Date at all.

If it's a well known brand contact the company the tins, cartons, bottles and bags in most cases have a customer service line. Tell them what the problems is, be nice and don't raise your voice.

 

Have the details that you will find on the product, it's usually around the barcode or on the bottom, and the place you got it from.

 

In most cases they will send you vouchers to buy products from their range. I've done this a few times, and I've always found that they are grateful to you for letting them know.

 

I went into Sainsburys once with some rotten fruit that I had bought the day before. The staff member took it off me, it was still in the original packing. Looked at it and said "You should have looked after it better","That's why it's gone off". I pointed out that it had not been removed from their packaging and it had been kept over night if a fridge. She grunted and walked off saying she would get me a refund.

 

All I can say was she was sadly lacking in people skills.

 

I haven't shopped there very much since. Give me M&S Food Hall any time.

 

If you get food that's off and the company will not listen, Trading Standards and Public Health will, and they have the power to shut them down.

I frequently find, especially at my local Sainsbugs or Co-Op, that the best time to go in is mid/late-afternoon. With bread and milk especially, it's that day's delivery that's on the shelf and not the "left-overs from the day before" that you find in the mornings.

Jimbo 44 - always happy to help, but always willing to learn from being corrected too!!! Whilst any advice given may be based upon personal experience, please always be sure you seek guidance from a professional in the particular field.

 

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark, but a large group of professionals built the Titanic.

I had an experience in Asda, whereby the vacuum packed cheese I bought had a sell by date of 2 months ahead. The packaging had a hole in it somewhere causing the cheese to go mouldy. Of course by now I no longer had a reciept but the Customer Service desk in store willingly refunded the money and I got a new one free as well. No relevance but thought i'd share it with you all ;-)

In Insurance, thinking "It wont happen to me" could mean you dont have the cover you want at a time when you want it! - Dont always reject a Courtesy Car or Legal because you find the cost too much! Whats more valuable? YOU or the Policy Premium?

Yep - I have to say my experience iwth ASDA is the same, a problem is usually resolved immediately with an apology, a refund, a £2 gift card for my inconvenience and (occasionally) a replacement pack of the same item without charege. As to Sainsbury't a lot of the customer policy is decided at shop level with managers deciding how to handle a particular problem, but since Asda was usually cheaper, I stopped going there!

My biggest gripe is when shops cover up the use by date (and I once spotted a staff member actually changing one)- criminal! My local Tescos hate it when I come in because I will have a go at them if I come across anything which should not be on sale.

 

The thing to remember about durability markings is that

best before is an indication that the quality may not be as good as it could be, but the product is not necessarily harmful. Products can be sold after the best before date has expired, but an offence may be committed if the food is not of the nature, substance or quality demanded. The exception is eggs which must not be sold within seven days of the best before date (to do so is an offence).

 

Use by dates indicate that the food may pose a health hazard if consumed after the date indicated, and will be found on products such as fresh meat. It is a criminal offence to sell (includes exposing, having or offering for sale) food past its use by date.
