    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all. Signed I am the Defendant - I believe that the facts stated in this form are true XXXXXXXXXXX 01/05/2024   Defendant's date of birth XXXXXXXXXX   Address to which notices about this claim can be sent to you

    • 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.

On a more serious note, was discussing corporal punishment, which I think should be reserved for the worst in our society, the Johnsons, Goves, and mass murderers

One argument is that

it didn't stop people stealing at public hangings

- - in fact it is sold as more people were pick pocketed at public hangings than anywhere else, so it isn't a deterrent

 

Despite thinking OMG thats a point when I first heard that many many moons ago, of course it isnt a valid argument when the larger picture is considered.

 

These people (the pick pockets) had absolutely nothing, and absolutely nothing to lose.

In fact as they were starving, and starving people worry about eating NOW, not what might happen in weeks time IF they were caught,

 

So not a valid argument against hanging as a deterrent I would posit.

In today's society where even those considered poor (although there are still those who have nothing) commonly most in the UK at least still have a lot to lose, the situation should be significantly different.

By no means cut and dried but ...

 

Oh - and I'm not advocating a return of the death penalty, let alone hanging

- except for the Johnsons and Goves of this world (possibly Blair too despite me believing the Iraq invasion was both necessary and justifiable - if done properly)

oh and as an inside aside

Jennifer Juniper was actually about Helen Mary 'Jenny' Boyd - married Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac

 

Her sister Pattie married George Harrison and Eric Clapton

 

Now I think Lulu was a hotter babe than either and far more talented.

I was walking along the Strand in London many moons ago when I saw a small group of people standing outside the Adelphi theatre so I walked across to see what the fuss was about. Red carpet out and a Limo arrived and out popped Lulu attached to that Nick the Hairdresser fellow Clarke.

 

As she walked across the pavement looking at the folks gathering lining the carpet like me, our eyes met and locked and for one split second I felt all the hairs on the back of my neck and every cell in my body tingle - Wow did she have one drop-dead gorgeous pair of eyes!

 

Some things you never forget - that was around 1975.

 

As for Donovan, in those same years I had to go to Glasgow to work Mon-Fri and he was playing a concert in one of the theatre's up there. Not only did he arrive three quarters of an hour late, he came out on stage, didn't say a word to a soul throughout, sat bohemian like on a box, went from one song to another without addressing the audience, walked off and that was it. By which time most people in the theatre had already left in disgust. I had nothing better to do so sat it out, but he was awful.

 

Catch the Wind never had the same resonance after that.

I met her and briefly talked with her (never met Donovan or saw him live and I take your experience that I missed little)

 

Lulu though made an astonishing impact and I've never forgotten it,

My old next-door neighbour was in Advertising and went to lunch with Joanna Lumley to discuss a voice-over on an Ad.

 

He had a lovely wife and kids, was a bit older than Joanna Lumley, but I guarantee that day he fell in love all over again, because he never ever stopped talking about her. He said she was the most riveting, warm, intelligent woman he'd ever met.

 

Funny how some people can do that to you in a fleeting moment isn't it? Memories for life, just like my snap-shot glance exchange with Lulu - it was like her look could penetrate through to my soul - I'll never ever forget it.

My wife comes from near the village, Moneygall, in S.Ireland where Mr Obama's relatives come from - the local pub does a roaring trade these days and they set-up a new shopping centre in his name which has forced the closure of numerous local village shops. My brother-in-law was there at the pub when Obama paid a visit and he is the guy at the end of this German video on youtube in the little red tractor

Great fella!

 

Hope you get a good look morrondevo

I'm not a betting man, never have been because if I did bet I usually lost, so now always stick with facts and the facts are generally a safe bet to use especially in the kind of work I get myself into these days fighting these banking feckers.

 

Once a year only, a few quid on a flutter on the Grand National

 

This year £5 e/w - I pick one, Mrs picks one, + one flyer.

 

1) Mrs picked - One for Arthur

2) I picked - Cause for Causes

3) Flyer - Last Sumari

 

First and Second came in 1st and 2nd, flyer- Last Sumari still running.

 

£110 back on a £30 layout - thank you very much! Can't wait til next years race!! :-)

 

Life's not always bad news is it?

 

Hope you guys and gals got lucky too?

nice if it comes in on the off, but mostly they don't given its course. i dont get the one off bet on the national as odds can be much better just betting on normal race(s). but, i suppose it's just a bit of fun on the day in the grand scheme...
