    • Moneyclaim is going to court   Its how you do a claim     Do you believe that you will be able to cover the full amount from the 3 people youd want to claim against? 
    • I'm unsure about going to court because it takes a lot of time and can be stressful, and there's no guarantee of winning. I'll still ask legal for advice. NLRA suggested making a MoneyClaim, but I'm worried it might cause problems and end up spending more if goes wrong.         
    • If you have legal cover and insurance, you can try going ahead with your Insurer. They may be able to refer you to their "Legal Partner" but do your research.  If you know where 3 of them live, you can attempt to take them to court, but in todays climate, going legal will not get you the result of £15k that you are after.    Others may have their own input - But in reality you are asking for £5k from each of them - Might find it hard to recover that in a timely manner.  Like I said earlier - Your option maybe to take the hit now and factor it in to future tenancies. 
    • I have insurance that covers legal matters for this property, and I can confirm it with the insurance company. I also know where the tenants currently live, as all three have moved to the same place. There's been a lot of mold growing in the property over the past few months. All the builders who came to look at it think the mold grew because the windows were kept closed, lack of heating. In the past few months, they haven't used much gas or electricity, as shown by the smart meter I checked. Recent trace and access report says there's no water leak in the property. I have lots of photos from when I moved in until now. But in court, more people usually want to sue the landlord, not the other way around.
    • simply write to them, offering one months fee, give them 14 days to accept. if they sont accept, ignore everyone. Harlands too! and the extra £20 penalty is not allowed either. thread title updated. dx

    • 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.

What do you think ?

 

Mans best friend in many countries.

 

I visited a dog cemetery in western Australia that is dedicated to Australian shepherd dogs, where the owners have created amazing gravestones/shrines for their lost friends. These dogs are known for their amazing bond with the farmers that are often out all day every day with them.

 

Dogs often know their owners better than the people themselves. You have Dogs that can sniff out cancer. Dogs that help people with disabilities. Dogs used for security at airports. Etc etc etc.

 

In China they eat millions every year and the way they are killed is often very cruel. Some are killed by boiling them alive. Some are attacked to increase adrenaline levels, as that apparently increases tenderness of the meat.

 

But i do eat meat, so i cannot deny people rights to eat what they want, but they should ensure there is no cruelty.

We could do with some help from you.

We eat chicken, lamb, duck and beef, to name a few, so why not dog ?

 

It's a matter of cultural acceptability and norms really, I've eaten horse in France before (and REALLY enjoyed it) but I know that our horse loving neigbours would have an anuerism at the thought of doing so. Likewise with other 'unusual' meats it's down to what's palatable in the conscience of the person doing the chewing. I've been to a few restaurants that served different meats like zebra, crocodile, wild boar, kangaroo etc and in fairness they're all just 'meat', I'm sure I've been to a few dodgy takeaways too and probably eaten something domesticated in the process.

 

I personally don't particularly like dogs, although I wouldn't knowingly put one on my plate for the time being at least.

 

Besides, soon enough we'll all be eating insects routinely anyway, a nice beetle cutlet for dinner?

Eating crocodile might make me snappy, kangaroo would make me jumpy, but eating horse would be fine as long as it was cooked properly or I might end up in horse-petal..

It's a strange sort of question, really: we don't eat dogs because we see them as companions, not as food (exceptions exist, I realise, but the general rule is there). In other words, we find them friendly, cute, cuddly etc, and the idea of eating them seems repulsive physically and morally. And there's nothing wrong with, or irrational about, that.

 

We've had a very long association with these animals and their ancestors, probably for about as long as homo sapiens has been recognisable as a species. Our very progress as a species is bound up with theirs, we've grown to understand them to some extent, and they've evolved to understand us to an extent that seems, in many cases, almost startling. So really, it's more than just their cute appearance - we feel that we understand them and communicate with them, and that they mean a lot more to us than cows, chickens and so on. I mean, I hope most of us would not intentionally mistreat a cow, but we generally don't see them as "friends" in the way we do with dogs.

 

For millennia these slightly goofy mini-wolves have been around, helping us out in so many ways and asking for relatively little in return. Why would we want to eat them?

We eat Horse, A Tesco delicacy

 

We eat processed meat pies, do you really believe that is meat you are eating, well 1% is

 

Anyway after my dog passed away after 15 years loyal companionship, truly mans best friend:

 

A dog has a unique emotional bond with its owner. When they go it tears your heart out

 

My beloved Prince turned my life around when no one else cared. To see that happy face and wagging tail as soon as i walked in cannot be put into words. To this day i have been unable to even contemplate another.

 

I could not stop myself if i ever witnessed such animals being abused in any way

what earth prompted the OP to ask such an odd question in the first place - what is wrong with you??

 

Has been in the news recently. MP's discussed the dog meat trade on Thursday.

We could do with some help from you.

To further the debate , who are 'we'

 

It clearly can not be a collective we , because in some countries, as said , dogs are eaten-and in these countries people also keep them as pets

 

Are the we being referred to in some way better than the rest? It is a sign of how careful we need to be with language and how unconscious prejudice can manifest itself

Yes agreed, unless I am mistaken your use of "he" was a dropped T rather than a unconscious prejudice manifesting itself ?

 

Sorry it made me chuckle.

I used "we" advisedly and inclusively. Even in areas where eating dogs is not culturally taboo in the same way that it is in the West, it is far less common than the consumption of most other species that, worldwide, are widely considered to be "food" animals. I also deliberately chose not to provide links to this information (specific numbers, worldwide cultural practices and so on) as I have no wish to cause any offence or distress.

Theres a hell of a lot of truth in the old joke:

The divorce destroyed me ... she got custody of my dog.

 

If you want a hard life full of woe - get married

If you want love - get a dog.

Antone

i was not referring to you when I questioned the use of the word we, I was questioning the wisdom of using the word we in the context that consumer dude used it . I am not at all saying it was done deliberately however

 

Title of thread - Why do people not eat dogs\

reference we do not eat dogs

 

Therefore it could, and I stress could, suggest, that the person who wrote it thinks that, we are people ,but that those that eat dog are not people .Do you see what I mean about having to be very careful with language?

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .
