    • so return of goods order etc etc read upload  scan pages to jpg, redact in mspaint. the convert to and merge to one mass PDF  read upload and use the online listed sites for all 3 stages. do you want to keep the car? i will guess this was a manual paper claimform direct from the co.court or was it org sent from salford bulk processing and has just got reaq ssigned?      
    • 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.

A house back garden near to mine is being overrun by Japanese Knotweed.

 

I have read many stories - many of them quite alarming - about the damage this plant can do and the effect it has on property valuations in areas where it is located.

 

In view of this who is responsible for its control (I gather it is not illegal to grow it) and for remedying any damage it causes to neighbouring properties.

 

It has been reported several times to the Environment Department of my local council who have, to date, seemed to have taken no action. Myself and several of my neighbours are becoming quite alarmed at the possible damage this pernicious weed can cause

and

 

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/shopping-and-consumer-news/11416728/Weeds-in-the-garden-Now-officials-can-remove-them-without-permission.html

 

Home owners will be powerless to stop officials entering their land if their gardens contain Japanese knotweed, parakeets or other "invasive" species, under new laws.

 

 

Environmental pest control services will be allowed on to private land without permission to eradicate plants or animals that pose a "significant threat" to the surrounding environment.

 

and in some cases Mortgage lenders might refuse to lend to you if you have a problem with this invasive weed

You need to identify whether it is the variety that does cause damage. There is one type that grows without causing any problems and the other is a nightmare. Do some research.

 

I have seen someone locally pay good money to deal with the plant that was not a problem and some specialists charge thousands, even when i suspect they did not identify the variety of plant.

 

The removal can only be done after it has flowered and died back a bit. They then removed and burn most of the plant, leaving the bottom of the plant. They then inject it with something to kill the roots.. You cannot just dig it out. There is online advice, so you don't need expensive specialist contractors.

We could do with some help from you.

The 'Telegraph' article is interesting.

 

If local authorities now have the power to go onto private land to eradicate pests and invasive species without the landowners consent - where is this enshrined in law?

Thanks Unclebulgaria.

 

The reason I posted my concerns was Knotweed growing on the back garden of a nearby property - where it is spreading like wildfire. I doubt very much if the landowner is going to pay very much attention to myself and others attempting to draw his attention to the dangers of this plant - hence contact with the Environment department of the local council. The landowner/property owner is a Pakistani descent devote Muslim who tries to protect his and his families privacy - so keeps himself very much to himself. There may also be language difficulties here as well. Just cutting it down and bunging the cuttings into the green recycling bin is not the way to go - so I believe an 'official' approach by the Council or similar agency is the way to go where treatment, disposal, possible legal consequences etc. can be carefully explained in Urdu to the property owner. We also have a number of bull headed hot tempered types living in the area who may cause problems associated with this we can do well without.

 

Regarding the variety - this is the 'nasty' one. Another neighbour - equally alarmed took a cutting that was growing over the property boundary to the Council for identification and they confirmed it was the virulent invasive type.

Thanks for all the links - all useful information.

 

If my local council takes no action over this what are the options? The Infrastructure Act 2015 Section 4 is not law and cannot be used at the current time. Is there any current legislation pertaining to this pest plant growing in a private garden that can be used to get the council to take some sort of action - even if it is only advisory (which is what I am angling for rather than anything punitive) so the landowner is given the opportunity to remove the plant or, at least, get it under control?.

If the council owned and assets nearby that would help, as they might have an interest. Are there any electricity sub stations or other utlility installations that could be affected ? If so, the utility companies would have an interest. It is a question of getting them to take this serious enough, to spur them into action.

 

If it were me, i think i would gather some information about the issue and speak to the home owner concerned. Ask them whether they know that the knotweed is a problem that could cause severe damage to their house and neighbouring properties. Print off some internet pictures of knotweed causing damage to houses. Also perhaps provide them with information where they can get help. Will the local council help home owners with knotweed removal ?

We could do with some help from you.

Thanks Unclebulgaria - I appreciate your input.

 

Some of the local houses are Housing Association properties and I believe this weed has already spread into some of their properties so I will contact them as they will be affected by all this. As explained before the owner of the property really needs to have things explained in Urdu as his English is poor - our local Council does send messages out in this language as we have a substantial Urdu speaking population in the area. My Urdu is non existent and any approach by myself or other concerned neighbours may be viewed with some hostility particularly as we have some rather unpleasant 'white supremacist' types in the area who have been problematic in the past.

 

I will also contact my local councillor and see if I can prise him off his backside and get him to do something.

Hi

It was a recent government order that the land owner is responsible for removal of Japenese knotweed. This came in last year.

 

Relating to this in a way does anyone no if this act would also cover bindweed in council house gardens. I have been told by Defra that the Landowner is responsible but the council who owns the houses, about 10 that l no of including mine have it in front and back gardens, don't accept that and say its a garden issue.

I was told that there was a court case going on that just needed listing when a person had took her Landlord, the council, to court but l cant find anything re it or even don't no if the case has gone to court. If someone who can find this is able to help use all then we would be grateful.

Just received this from my local council:-

 

"I refer to your recent enquiry about Japanese Knotweed. The Council would only become involved if it was located on land we own or controlled. It is more a matter between landowners to deal with it between themselves. I have provided some links below to the government websites which may be of assistance to you.

 

 

 

https://www.gov.uk/prevent-the-spread-of-harmful-invasive-and-non-native-plants

 

 

 

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/296930/LIT_2695_df1209.pdf"

 

It looks as if the local property owners affected can only wait and see if this weed starts to break up the pavement and road and then see if the Council will show any interest, the landowner where it is growing takes action or a joint action is taken for damages caused by the weed against the landowner where it is growing. The weed has already spread to two adjacent properties. Or all can wait and see how long it takes for Section 4 of the Infrastructure Act 1915 to become law.

Asian illegals taking over our country!

 

But seriously, isn't Japanese Knotweed used to make Resveratrol? Couldn't one sell the knotsweed to the pharmaceutical industry? I can see a business coming out of it.
