    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................
    • Hi,   I am not sure if I posted this already here but I don't think I did. I attach a judgement that raises very interesting points IMO. Essentially EVRi did their usual non attendance that we normally see, however the judge (for the first time I've seen in these threads) dismissed the notice and awarded me judgement by default because their notice misses the "confirmation of compliance" paragraph. in and out in 3 minutes (aside from the chat at the end with the judge about his problems with evri) Redacted - evri CPR loss.pdf

    • 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.

You, Corbyn, Dianne Abbott, perhaps two others in the shadow cabinet and perhaps 4 of the handful of remaining members of the NEC

 

 

MacDonnell has at least had the decency to step out of the cabinet ... mind you thats after he got blamed for Corbyns failures by noisy handful of rampant corbynistas

Mate, you're making no sense again, and just saying hysterical stuff.  I'm sorry but youd have to be a complete fool to believe it's all Corbyn's fault.  What would have happened if hed taken a stronger leave position is that he would have lost votes to someone like the lib dems.  He was in a tough position, and I've said before... he gave all the moderate labour MP's every opportunity to work together... but they all one after the other shafted him.  Jeremy Corbyn has worked all his life to better the lives of people less fortunate, and all this rubbish about extreme left taking over is nonsense.  What's extreme about wanting to end poverty, and dealing with homelessness.  Pointing out the downfall of privatisation and how its having a negative effect on civilisation.   Dealing with the housing crisis.. I dont see what's so extreme... we've all just been living in a free market capitalist world for so long..

 

I had a conversation with someone I work with (who voted tory) yesterday and she was arguing for equal pay, or better pay for NHS staff.  She's spoken about ending homelessness.  Pointing out that we just had a chance to elect a socialist who would actually deal with these issues is just white noise because everyone thinks all politicians are the same.  Centre ground politics has warped reality and distorted the narrative so that people cant see a different way out... coupled  with first past the post it just makes our politics and society so unequal

You proved nothing.  All you continually harped on about was how great Commie Corbyn and the Labour party is and how

you are going to remain in the EU.

Read back through at what you said...

 

I did and once again you are completely wrong. I haven't expressed any opinion on Corbyn or Labour or that we'll remain in the EU.

 

Opinions are fine when they have at least some factual basis. If you want people to take you more seriously then at least try being honest.

Of course we will now have to wait 12 months to see what sort of trade deal we get

 

All the indications are that it'll take significantly more than 12 months. More like 12 years and in the meantime continued uncertainty for business, low investment and a weak pound. The real disaster is yet to happen.

There is no trade deal except what the EU believes it needs or wants, and thats withering by the hour.  Simple fact.

 

Look at how the EU has backed away from anything related over the last 2 months - didn't really matter whether corbyn or johnson won - corbyn had also already stated he wanted to renegotiate remain and leave.

The EU isn't happy about all the articles Boris wrote over the years and that led to the Conservative press publishing anti-Europe stuff.

 

From what I've read, a comprehensive trade agreement takes at least four years to negotiate.

 

I also saw that Verhofstadt wants to put in a clause that Brits can opt to have EU citizenship.

well Trump has largely said any close deal with the EU means no US deal

and the EU has effectively said that the US terms menas nothing even as close as a Canada deal for the UK if trumps US deal is struck

 

eg The US wants NO identification of sources on goods - the EU demands it

Johnson could of course cheat - and put not sources on US sourced goods, and sources on EU sourced goods

- but the US trade goals word it as more or less anything would give the US reason to unilaterally revoke some or any of the terms.

This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.
 

The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision.
Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.
Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.
 
THE SITUATION
 
You are in England, York to be specific.
There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding.
This is a flood of biblical proportions.
You are a photo-journalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless
You're trying to shoot career-making photos.
There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing into the water.
Nature is unleashing all its destructive fury.
 
THE TEST
 
Suddenly, you see a man in the water.
He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris.
You move closer... Somehow, the man looks familiar...
 
You suddenly realise who it is... It's Jeremy Corbyn.
You notice that the raging waters are about to take him under forever.
 
You have two options:
 
You can save the life of Jeremy Corbyn or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize-winning photo, documenting the death of one of the country's most well known men..
 
THE QUESTION
 
Here's the question, and please give an honest answer...
 
Would you select high contrast colour, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

There's no off-the-shelf timetable for a trade agreement. Trade deals typically evolve over centuries but the UK is in a really unusual situation as it had adopted the EU's trading arrangements for the last 40 odd years and suddenly it finds itself without a trading agreement with any nation on earth, or even a recent history of having one. It's like a country of 60 million + people with a comparatively large economy moving on to planet earth and starting from scratch.

 

As a democracy the UK has a lot of competing interests and so we won't just be negotiating trade deals with other nations, we'll also have to negotiate with ourselves which will take forever and a day and in the meantime the uncertainty damages our economy. This is why Brexit is the disaster it is.

Why is everyone so one sided and negative, or is that what you want other to believe.

 

Remember, it's not all one way, the world wants to trade with us, the EU sells more goods to the UK than the other way around

so it's more in their interest to get a trade deal with us than us with them.

 

Sellers in Europe are not going to sit on their arses and refuse to sell goods to the UK, there are a lot that

sell more to the UK than to their own nations and the rest of Europe.

Brexit has got nothing to do with who sells what to who.  The government don't tell private companies where to trade.  This is all about the terms and conditions under which businesses operate, and without the risk of sounding like a broken record, businesses will have a choice to continue trading with us or to not.  The key issue has always been not to increase the costs to uk businesses because that would effect the amount of trade they do with the rest of the world because we have trade deals with the vast majority of wealthy countries, through the EU.  Leaving with no deal, or reduced terms would increase costs to uk businesses, which inevitably would hit our economy.

 

It's true that businesses would still buy from us, but if it's more expensive to buy from us then EU countries would choose whether to buy from us.  Subsequently, if we make it more expensive to buy goods in, then inevitably our export costs increase.

 

Brexit as it stands is basically imposing trade sanctions on ourselves.

 

Anyone that says businesses will still buy from us just doesn't understand the detail, how the EU works, or basic economics.

Which is what I said.  If the EU plonks 50% tarif on the Uk, we do the same to them so they have more to lose than we do.

Yeah that's mental.   Why would you want to enter into a trade war with the EU for no reason?  Again, they'll just choose to purchase more from countries in other parts of the world that don't engage in putting trade sanctions on their closest trading partners for no reason.

 

You misunderstand that the EU wouldn't be choosing to do anything.. tariffs would be applied by default.  And then your answer would be to further cripple our economy by raising tariffs on the EU when we rely on imports to produce stuff in order to export?  We literally need to import raw materials .  Getting into a trade war would just mean they buy less from us, and our 50% of our economy would end up being subject to increased costs.  In fact 100% of our economy would be affected because we'd also not be able to trade with the rest of the world under the terms negotiated through the EU.

Sadly no he wont

 

remember

Theres no plan for no deal as we will get a great deal

No way would he or any Conservative allow any form of border in the Irish sea

No way would he put the NHS up for sale

 

 

Well he says his proposals are the great deal

The border in the irish sea is a non-border border not a border border, and the required documentation and searches just like other borders dont make it a border

and trump doesn't want to buy the NHS, just have US drug corporations bleed the UK taxpayer dry through it

You say we rely on exports, we will have the whole world to export to as soon as Bogo tells the EU to get stuffed.

 

28 of the 32 wealthiest countries in the world reside within the EU.  Realistically we will need the US because they are one of the few remaining countries outside of the EU that would be worth doing a deal with, but as discussed on here previously, the exact agreement we strike with the US is open to debate.  Should we still want a trade deal with the EU we would need to align our standards with them, which makes a deal with the US harder.

 

Also 80% of our economy is services.  Try selling financial services to a person in India... or try sending engineers half way round the world just because some numpty has decided trading with the countries geographically closest to us wont work anymore because of immigrants and sovereignty.

You're ignoring the most difficult issue in a trade agreement. It's not the tariffs or the lack of them  which is the tough part to reslove but the regulatory standards of the goods to be imported & exported that needs to be decided.

 

For example the EU banned the import of chlorine washed chicken since 1997 which of course hurts the US, and who are going to be very keen to include it in any new agreement with the UK and will use it to barter prospective concessions in exchange . As a nation we're going to first have to decided whether that is acceptable or not and that alone will be difficult enough to resolve. And that's just one product.

 

This has all the makings of a category 5 $h1t storm that will last an eternity.
