    • 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.

Okey Dokey - the prospective beach venue for the barbie, as discussed by Crush and myself, is a place called Pentewan. Those of you with teenage boys may remember Ewan McGregor being chased down Pentewan Hill in his BMW, in the opening scenes of Stormbreaker...

 

Pasties and attendance spreadsheet:

 

Pentewan is good for a few reasons:

 

10/20 minute drive from Eden

10 minute drive from St Austell (for those staying at Travelodge)

The smaller beach is quite secluded (a sea wall on one side, cliffs on the other)

This is great because there will be some youngsters, and therefore they can't go far

It is also great because if the tide is coming in you know about it - no getting cut off

Nearby facilities (two minute walk) - PUB!!!, toilets, coffee/tea shop, shop (ice cream, water etc) sufficient parking

No dogs

Yes to barbecues...

Very very uncrowded...

Clean and wide beach with a naturally occurring paddling area...

 

Suggested necessities:

 

Water/soft drinks

Swimming togs

Beach mat/towel/rush mat thingummy bob

Treasure bag - for collecting shells and all the gold doubloons that wash up on the beach...

Suncream/adequate cover - it gets VERY hot as it is a sun trap

 

Here are the pictures (taken only two hours ago whilst "testing" the beer garden):

Those who have not yet decided whether or not to attend, I really hope these pictures will help you make up your mind...

Either that or the donkey that powers the cam has stopped going round and round the wheel. :-D

gerbils normally do that.

how would you do this?

lash the donkey's legs to the inside of a very big wheel and then spin it?

the RSPCA would have something to say about that do you think?
