    • There's a thread somewhere about someone sending the baillifs against Wizzair that is quite hilarious. I would love to see someone do the same to Ryanair. Question is, should you be the one to take that role. You are entitled to the £220, if your flight was from the UK. If it was TO the UK I suppose it is more of a grey area... though the airlines I know have been using £220 as standard. Not that surprising for Ryanair, the worst cheapskates in the universe, to go for the lower amount, and if you forward this to the CEO he will probably have a jolly good laugh and give his accountants a verbal bonus. After all he's the one who said and I paraphrase "F*** our customers, they'll fly with us again anyway". While we would all love to see Ryanair get wooped in court again, I have to join my fellow posters in thinking it's not worth the hassle for (hypothetically) £7 and not sure it will expedite the payment either. It's already an achievement that you got them to accept to pay.

    • 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.

Boris Johnson, former Prime Minister

and I think Kwasi Klaptrap has given an insight into how 'incompetent and unrepentant liar' Johnson intends to re-write history on the driver (and other) shortages:

.. its all part of the Brexit plan to drive up the wages of drivers, moving away from a low pay economy .. even if it collapses the economy

 

- All Horseshit as if there was a plan for this, they would have been training Lorry drivers (and all other affected areas) for the last year at least - aka ensure a managed transition that didnt grind the country and its workers and industry to a standstill

- and end up needing to beg the kicked out 'foreign drivers to help out ...

At some stage UK Government will realise that the economy needs more migrant labour than they ideally wanted to satisfy some Brexit supporters. 

 

It is not a case of UK citizens not wanting to do some types of work e.g. farming.  I have come across many young people wanting to pursue jobs in farming, but they live in towns and cities, without their own vehicles to commute to remote farms. If Government wants young people to go into farming, they need to build affordable accommodation to rent close to where the farms are. Or they provide transport options for people living in towns/cities to commute to farms.

 

Government will come to realise that providing all of the resources required to have UK citizens taking up all of the jobs required by UK employers, would be a very expensive investment to make.  And more importantly, businesses may not have the newly trained people available to them, when they actually need them.

Adding a quote from the Times.

 

Chris Loder, the MP for West Dorset, told a separate fringe event that the disruption was an “opportunity” to destroy supermarket supply chains as they were “commercial predators”.

 

Very Dominic Cummings, wreck everything but we don't know what to replace it with and don't have a plan except to let the market sort it out.

 

This is the genius who wants farmers to deliver produce to their local area. How quaint.

Breaking News

 

There is an entirely unconfirmed rumor that Johnson and Shapps (The Liars) are preparing to announce that the Australia deal includes the solution to our lorry driver shortage with immediate visas for 10 Australian lorry drivers and their trucks

the announcement is expected as soon as they can find a boat big enough to bring them, and after a few 'minor' changes to every major road and junction in the UK

 

 

 

 

It is expected that 45598 villages, 2745 towns and 23 major cities will also be 'redesigned' to accommodate the solution, which will partly affect the Uk's plans to reach net zero in the 25th century after warp drive, instant matter transportation and anti-matter engines are developed.

To sunak, who says Labour keeps losing elections because the “British people won’t trust a party that isn’t serious with their money”.

 

All I can say is serco + PPE pals and taxpayer billions?

 

 

and Johnson 'The Liar' says

UK electricity to be powered by clean energy sources from 2035

but don't fret - its up to someone else to actually deliver - not his problem if nowts done - like the driver, delivery, fuel and shelf shortages at point of delivery

 

His detailed plan for delivery of clean energy:

"From 2030, you won’t be able to buy any more a new hydrocarbon-fuelled internal combustion engine car and we’re going to move either to EVs (electric vehicles) or vehicles powered by hydrogen or clean power of one kind or another.

- Unstated but implied: as long as someone else does it.

Maybe we're looking at this all wrong and there is a master plan -

 

Food shortages and subsequent price rises will solve the obesity crisis.

Fuel shortages and subsequent price rises will curtail all social interaction as the unwashed masses will only be able to undertake linited journeys to work.  Effectively another lockdown so Covid solved.

Essential utilities such as gas and electricity are set to become unaffordable which will have a positive effect on the social care bill as the aged and vulnerable freeze to death.

 

Those of us who survive the coming winter can come out of our homes next Spring blinking in the sunlight just like all the best disaster movies - and Boris will call it a success and take the credit.

and unlike yapping useless frost and lying incompetent Johnson, I have no doubts whatsoever that France will deliver on their assurances

 

 

WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK

French minister says UK ‘depends on our energy supplies’ as row escalates

 

 

wahhh - They are bulling us after we threatened them says the brexit BS press

 

France says:

"For example, we can imagine, since we're talking about energy, ... the United Kingdom depends on our energy supplies. It thinks that it can live all alone, and bash Europe."

 

According to the latest UK government statistics France exported a net 8,700 gigawatt hours of energy to Britain in 2020.

The warning by France comes as Britain is set to enter what ministers have called a “difficult winter” – with soaring energy prices and shortages of some products including fuel.
