    • Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant .... I said DCBL because I was reading a few threads about them discontinuing claims and getting spanked in court! Meant  YOU  Highview !!!  🖕
    • Though it would be Highview you would  pursue. DCBL are nonentities-on their best day,
    • Yep, I read that and thought about trying to find out what the consideration and grace period is at Riverside but not sure I can. I know they say "You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is"  but I doubt they would disclose it to the public, maybe I should have asked in my CPR 31.14 letter? Yes, I think I can get rid of 5 minutes. I am also going to include a point about BPA CoP: 13.2 The reference to a consideration period in 13.1 shall not apply where a parking event takes place. I think that is Deception .... They giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other! One other point to note, the more I read, the more I study, the more proficient I feel I am becoming in this area. Make no mistake DBCL if you are reading this, when I win in court, if I have the grounds to make any claims against you, such as breach of GDPR, I shall be doing so.

    • the Town and Country [advertisments ] Regulations 2007 are not easy to understand. Most Council planing officials don't so it's good that you found one who knows. Although he may not have been right if the rogues have not been "controlling" in the car park for that long. The time only starts when the ANPR signs go up, not how long the area has been used as a car park.   Sadly I have checked Highview out and they have been there since at least 2014 . I have looked at the BPA Code of Practice version 8 which covers 2023 and that states Re Consideration and Grace Periods 13.3 Where a parking location is one where a limited period of parking is permitted, or where drivers contract to park for a defined period and pay for that service in advance (Pay & Display), this would be considered as a parking event and a Grace Period of at least 10 minutes must be added to the end of a parking event before you issue a PCN. It then goes on to explain a bit more further down 13.5 You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is. 13.6 Neither a consideration period or a grace period are periods of free parking and there is no requirement for you to offer an additional allowance on top of a consideration or grace period. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________So you have  now only overstayed 5 minutes maximum since BPA quote a minimum of 10 minutes. And it may be that the Riverside does have a longer period perhaps because of the size of the car park? So it becomes even more incumbent on you to remember where the extra 5 minutes could be.  Were you travelling as a family with children or a disabled person where getting them in and out of the car would take longer. Was there difficulty finding a space, or having to queue to get out of the car park . Or anything else that could account for another 5 minutes  without having to claim the difference between the ANPR times and the actual times.

    • 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.

Now HMG has stopped doing weekday briefings, Independent SAGE has decided to do its own weekly briefing on Covid-19. They're very worried about the way lockdown is being done and are talking about a further 30,000 deaths if things don't change.

 

They say this about the government's message. “They are sending a message that the pandemic is over – and it’s not over.”

BN, I wonder if this is an aftermath of making hospitals treat Covid patients and leaving the Nightingale hospitals almost empty?

 

Or that the Nightingales didn't have enough staff to look after seriously ill patients.

The FT boffins have started a new Twitter thread about large under-reporting of new Covid cases. If you read down, it's been highlighted by the problems in Leicester.

 

 

 

 

and the recent reporting that

"UK deaths fall below five-year average for first time in 14 weeks"

- despite the ongoing issues and fresh peaks in cases being reported (like Leicester)

Simply highlight that the reporting and tracking of deaths is fiddled.

 

 

 

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2237475-covid-19-news-uk-deaths-fall-below-five-year-average/

 

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/deathsregisteredweeklyinenglandandwalesprovisional/weekending19june2020

 

 

"The number of deaths registered in England and Wales in the week ending 19 June 2020 (Week 25) was 9,339, this was 637 lower than Week 24.

 

In Week 25, the number of deaths registered was 0.7% below the five-year average (65 deaths fewer), this is the first time weekly deaths have been below the five-year average since Week 11; the number of deaths in care homes and hospitals were also fewer than the five-year average (49 and 782 deaths lower respectively), while the number of deaths at home was 827 higher than the five-year average.

 

Of the deaths registered in Week 25, 783 mentioned "novel coronavirus (COVID-19)", the lowest number of deaths involving COVID-19 in the last 12 weeks; accounting for 8.4% of all deaths in England and Wales."

 

 

 

 

- as these are the official stats - they clearly show that almost 10% of of these 'less than 5 year average' deaths were still CONFIRMED/TESTED COVID related deaths

 

 

The 5 year average is higher than what would be expected as the year on year deaths had largely be showing a downward trend

(apart from some intermittent seasonal flu related peaks which is NOT indicated as being the case during the Covid outbreak)

Europe: 191 411 deaths; the five countries reporting most deaths are United Kingdom (43 575), Italy (34 744), France (29 813), Spain (28 346) and Belgium (9 747).

 

Talking about stats ...

The EU is going to see a significant improvement in its average COVID situation stats in January isn't it?

 

 

and its average pollution level stats ... although not by as much

"Testing has found positive cases at North Carolina facilities, but officials refuse to release the information"

"Health departments in rural parts of the state, areas that often lean on large meatpacking or food processing facilities as primary sources of employment, have so far been tight-lipped about Covid-19 outbreaks in those plants."

 

"As of Thursday, there were 2,772 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in 28 meat processing plant “clusters” around the state, the department said, but would not specify further."

 

"In late April, while outbreaks began emerging at meat processing plants across the country, Donald Trump signed an executive order forcing the facilities to remain open."

Not clear on who introduced it, but the poor hygene/distancing/ppe is spreading it in the humans

... and the animals

 

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jun/30/ban-burning-and-burying-of-animals-in-us-covid-19-farm-culls-ngos-urge

 

 

The issue with the american processing plants is the secrecy surrounding the outbreaks and actually what is being done with both the human and animal infected.

 

The humans have allegedly been forced to work

and there is little clarity on what is happening to contaminated animals

with Trump signing executive orders to make them stay open ...

Note that although the 'culling' methods described in the article are truely horrible, and a number if not most of the methods of killing the animals blight/poison  the environment, the primary focus of my post is to alert that there is NOT proper oversight to ensure that infected animal are not sold on for consumption or anything else, let alone the environment that the workers are in with the disease spreading.

 

 

“Right now, one analyst says 2.1 million hogs have ‘disappeared,’” Grooms said. “We know those all weren’t euthanised, because we heard countless stories from across the US where pork producers were working on innovative ways to keep pigs in the food supply, including donations to food banks and private sales to individuals "

prosecutions under new Coronavirus Act unlawful, review finds

Vast majority of charges under separate Health Protection Regulations were correct, CPS says

 

 

 

Interesting how the covid emergency powers have been misused to penalise people where the laws were defined as only intended to direct people who were 'suspected' of having coronavirus, or being near someone who was (possibly) infected ...

aka everyone ... to a place to be tested

... at the instruction of an appropriate  medical person

 

... and being a met copper or Transport police not liking someone allegedly 'loitering' (whatever that is COVID wise) between platforms simple doesn't wash

interesting that a magistrate declared the person guilty of a non-existent crime and will presumably will suffer nothing despite that, let alone be quietly 'retired

 

 

 

Bet the TV licensing goons love that magistrate.

Yer oner (says some goon written note) - This person has committed the crime of not letting us enter his home when he has no TV licence in addition of the crime of not having a TV licence.

'Guilty as charged' says he.

 

 

 

Interesting that in one of the articles (not sure if its one of those linked) a poignant point is made:

There is only one person we KNOW that has been traipsing around the country while infected with Covid ... Yet the law HASN'T been applied to him.

Re the meat processing plant virus outbreaks, think I have read that the virus likes a cooler temperature range.  Which may be why some scientists have predicted that northern hemisphere countries may see a second wave in the Autumn.  

 

Hopefully this won't happen as I think enough damage has already been done and I dread to  think of the consequences of further national lock downs.

I can't believe they're opening pubs again on a Saturday - and from 6am! What are they expecting to happen, are we back to herd immunity?

 

There are about 45,000 pubs in England employing many times that number. The pub industry is already on it's knees, they need a break.
