    • The last photo shows the overflow carpark looking at the block which our room was located. When we got out of the car my partner thought that the building was for staff accommodation.  The unsecured bedroom window opened onto this car park.
    • Also I see that you are doing a lot of this on the telephone – and without any written confirmation. This is a big mistake. You need to start taking this matter seriously and so everything should go in writing. If you have telephone calls then they should normally be recorded. Read our customer services guide. You should make notes about every telephone call and then you should send an email to your telephone correspondence confirming what they have said or what they have agreed. It is important that you keep detailed paper trails here. Of course we may be jumping the gun and maybe big motoring world will step up to the mark – but I'm afraid that they have a lousy reputation has you have seen and so you need to start practising survival techniques and protecting yourself. You say for instance in your letter of rejection that the mechanic told you on the telephone that the gearbox needed replacing. Do you have any other evidence of this conversation? This is going to sound a bit harsh – but other people will be visiting this thread as well for their own purposes. You conducted their research about this company before you bought the vehicle. You now are fully aware that this is a company which can be very difficult to deal with and causes a lot of problems for many of their customers and yet you are still taking a telephone/verbal approach. Do I need to say any more? Also one of the documents you put up is an email exchange but it is not clear who is writing to who or what dates. If you showed this email to somebody in a pub they would be asking lots of questions about who sent the first message, who sent the second message, what dates were they sent et cetera. Please think about this before you post things. Please can you clarify the details of that email exchange. Please will you present the information carefully. We are all volunteers here and we have to rely on you to do the spadework
    • I told the DM that the room was not acceptable because of the reasons already mentioned. He informed me that they were full that night and that they could move me to the room next door (would not solve my problem with the rooms location). Told the DM that I could not stay in the room provided for the night so left no option but to leave. DM did not reply and I walked out.   IMG_1475.pdf IMG_1476.pdf IMG_1477.pdf
    • Please will you upload your documents in PDF format in future. It is unhelpful to have them in word format and also word documents will carry personal details relating to you and your computer.
    • Thanks for letting us know that you had a conversation with someone – I sort of imagined that you might tell us what the conversation was – who said what to whom…

    • 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.

Blow me a kiss from across the room

Say I look nice when I'm not

Touch my hair as you pass my chair

Little things mean a lot

 

Give me your arm as we cross the street

Call me at six on the dot

A line a day when you're far away

Little things mean a lot

 

Don't have to buy me diamonds and pearls

Champagne, sables or such

I never cared much for diamonds and pearls

'Cause honestly honey, they just cost money ..........

I think she meant a letter, Roo, as in 'drop me a line...' However:

I get no kick from champagne,

Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all,

So tell me why should it be true,

that I get a kick out of you?

 

Some even get a kick from cocaine,

I'm sure if I took even one sniff

That would bore me terrifically too,

yet I get a kick out of youuuuu...

When your day is done and you wanna run; cocaine.

She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine.

 

If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on; cocaine.

Dont forget this fact, you cant get it back; cocaine.

She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine.

Your killer fact for today

 

The average ant works a 33.6 hour week, equivalent to 1,750 hours a year- more than a Canadian, but less than an American or a Japanese.

 

What do ants and Canadians do with the rest of their time? Someone must know.

One of them, a reasonably well known one, is busy seducing my daughter, from what I gather. Can't say for the rest. Canadians, that is, not ants.

 

THIS particular Canadian, in fact. She ever brings him home for xmas, I am going to find it hard to get that picture out of my head. :rolleyes:

Today's Killer Fact

 

Carl Lewis and Martina Navratilova are vegans. River Phoenix was also a vegan, though what he gained by not eating cheese, he lost by taking lethal cocktails of drugs.

 

It is not true that Hitler was a vegetarian, though he was a teetotaller. It's lucky he didn’t drink: it might have made him aggressive.

Are you suggesting that in US an anvil costs $35? Bloody hell, I bet American blacksmiths are stocking up now...

 

So, what is this anvil you refer to?

 

LOL - replace all instances of US with NZ...

As you can see from the link, it has in fact now gone up to $39.99 since I posted, what with inflation and all that malarky.

 

Therefore, you can now only get 17.85 anvils for a gram of cocaine. (Unless, of course, cocaine also increases in line with inflation?)

recreational drugs have only been illegal for a relatively short time, at the beginning of the first world war you could buy a hamper from Harrods in London containing your favorites to send you your loved ones in the trenches :o
