    • 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.

I see they are reporting Putins apparent LOL@TheYanks leak

 

Vladimir Putin personally authorised a secret spy agency operation to support a “mentally unstable” Donald Trump in the 2016 US presidential election during a closed session of Russia’s national security council, according to what are assessed to be leaked Kremlin documents.

I dont think Johnson is a racist like Powell or Trump

With Johnson its just a narcissistic knee jerk opportunity for him to sow division and grab attention to demonstrate his importance by a whistle to his dogs - who are racist.

 

That it stokes division and racism he will always claim isnt his intent - as his intent is always his own soapbox whatever the mechanism or outcome.

That perhaps defines him as a narcissistic immature incompetent sociopath rather than a racist.

 

Corbyn seems little different apart from externalising his self-importance as 'his goals' which largely remain hidden under reverently spoken broad ranging BS - like Johnson - only the delivery is more solemn. babblings of a psychotic child rather than the squealing incoherent outbursts of one trying to copy the words of grown ups.

Neither should be allowed in a position of responsibility let alone run anything.

Thats absolutely spot on HB

 

Even the yanks have learned that having a president, that only has 'limited' 'limits on his powers compared to others is dangerous.

 

There is little doubt that the USA's General Milley and a few others prevented Trump starting a war just to attempt to be able to declare a state of emergency and hang on to power

 

Johnson may be a lesser breed of psychopath/sociopath than Trump - but not by much IMCCO.

PM's attempt to 'bluff' his way through pandemic led to last-minute U-turns, report finds

 

"Boris Johnson’s attempt to “bluff” his way through the Covid pandemic left the government without any contingency plans for school closures or the scrapping of exams, according to a damning new report."

 

"The Institute for Government (IfG) think tank said the “single biggest issue” for education had been the failure in the summer of 2020 to learn from previous errors and to prepare for further waves of the virus.

Its report claimed the prime minister deliberately ordered officials not to draft fall-back plans, a blunder that later led to GCSEs and A-levels being cancelled just months before they were due to take pace."

I think the UK taxpayer should clearly tell Johnson and his cronies that deals done outside the UK's stated mechanisms, are personal deals with the individual liable for them, not the nation - and refer any companies to their pals for payment for those personal deals.

On a lighter note (being as it sure wont happen now)

 

"Johnson offered Dominic Cummings a seat in the House of Lords, the former No 10 chief of staff has claimed.

 

Cummings also said the prime minister wanted to give his wife Carrie a government job with “lots of foreign travel”, according to an interview in The Spectator.

 

If Mr Cummings had taken a peerage he would have been able to vote on laws and could even have been appointed as a minister."

Wales did vote Leave didn't it.

Apparently Wales-Ireland port business has collapsed, along with support for all the jobs at the ports, and at motorway services etc

 

I think this describes Johnsons utter incompetence quite well:

 

"When the idiots voted Leave the Irish government launched a project to create a new terminal and a new channel in Dublin then ordered two of the world’s biggest Ro-Ro’s as “Brexit busters”. The second began operations two years ago which explains the growth in direct trade to the EU. (rather than Via ports in Wales to ports in England)
It is worth noting that they designed, ordered, built and operated two giant ferries for over two years and the UK government who “Got Brexit Done” are still searching for a lorry park in Pembrokeshire having still not built a single Inland Customs Point."

no, actually it isn't.

 

the traffic went through the UK for a reason - it was cost effective and shipments were also transported part way through full routes to optimise load carrying (why the UK is in the Johnson now re HGV transport)

 

If it wasn't for the utter certainty that the Brexiters would use whatever they could against the EU, even if it meant damaging UK transportation of food/materials, as it has, no-one with any sense thought that the Brexiters would be reasonable or honour anything.

- you simply cant trust liars

- so the EU/RoI prepared for that even though there was significant cost.

 

A mutual trade deal would have made much of the extra cost redundant - but no-one with sense believed the Brexiters would do anything but cheat.

 

The UK will also be bypassed for trans-atlantic product unless its still profitable in the UK market

 

Johnson and the Brexiters vacillated about Brexit, the EU vaccinated against Brexit.
