    • Well that will lead to more backdoor CCJs. I think you need to complain to all and sundry.  Let's start with the BPA.  The BPA are PE's mates, so they will never decide that PE have done anything wrong.  But that's not the point, correspondence between the two may lead to PE promising to write to the Scottish address, which is all you want.  Check the below for accuracy as methinks you have sent more correspondence that what I've quoted.  How about something like - Dear BPA, Re : Parkingeye Ltd PCN no.XXXXX, Claim no.XXXXX PCN no.XXXXX I am writing to complain about your above-mentioned member. I understand of course that you cannot enter into the merits of why a PCN was issued. The reason for my complaint is that, instead of writing to me at my address at XXXXX, Scotland, your member insists in writing to me at XXXXX, England, which is an address which I have never lived at.  I have always resided at the Scottish address.  The address registered with the DVLA for the vehicle is my Scottish address. I first because aware of this mess when the person who lives at the English address kindly contacted me, to tell me that a County Court Judgement for me had arrived at that address.  I requested that Parking Eye agree to a set aside by consent.  However, they refused.  I ended up paying £XXX despite having had no chance to defend myself. Regardng the second PCN, I attach correspondence dated XX February and XX March.  The latter was a complaint - which your operator has completely ignored.  Even worse, they have instructed debt collecting agencies twice to write to the English address.  On top of this, the person at the English address is moving out next week which means I am in danger a second time of losing a court case by default. I would therefore like to complain about your operator and would request that you instruct them to do what should be a simple thing - to write to me at my correct address. Yours, XXXXX

    • Hello DX -  So an update:  Resolvecall have written to say they have closed the account with them and passed it back to Capquest after receipt of my SB letter. Capquest have written twice, once offering a payment plan and the second letter after receiving my SB letter saying they are looking into my complaint and will respond within 8 weeks.   Absolutely no mention of what the debt is, was or from when or any details still.   Is this a case now of waiting to see what they come back with or is now the moment for me to send another letter via Solicitor please?

    • 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.

Hi guys - last year when i was on here everysingle day cos halifax was being an ass whipe..... I got chatting to a couple of nice chaps about home brewing.

I used to do a lot of it Mr Bilko sir.

 

not got the time for it now, but I keep promising to myself that I will.

with the correct quality ingedients you can make a most excellent brew. I used to make beer, cider, and ginger beer (one batch I made was over 10% ABV!)

Oh yes indeed, my mah taught me the noble art when I was a wean :D I recommend using spray-dried dextrose instead of sugar, well worth spending a bit extra for the end result. I can get Geordie kits for £4-£5 + £3.29 for the dextrose = 25p a pint, like the Sarge says. The only problem is your pals will always be wanting to come 'round! It's always the same: "so... [said with air of hopeful expectation] have you been doing any brewing lately...?" The guzzling bludgers!

NEVER make carrot wine.

 

It's wrong for so many reasons.

 

Firstly, it's made of carrots.

 

Secondly, after the Dad of a friend of mine made it about 10 yeras back:

 

The guy who's Dad is was lost his eyesight for 2 hours

 

I was repeatedly sick down the side of his couch

 

My brother collapsed, puking, in his loo (again, for about 2 hours)

 

Another friend collapsed on on the driveway and soiled himself trainspotting style.

 

We had a small glass each.

 

I develop a nervous tick whenever I hear the words "home brew".

All help is merely my opinion only - please seek legal advice if you need to as I am only qualified in SEN law.

I am sorry, but I am giggling away here, the very thoughts of all this, but I would venture that it had nothing to do with the carrots but with the process or rather the method that mates Dad used to fermet said vegetable.

 

but no, Carrots fermented into anything would not be on my list of things to try :D

Carrot Wine - a delicious 'orange' wine (somehow, the colour paradigm used for the one dimensional grape only wines doesn't seem to lend itself to more sophisticated and versatile wines).

Ingredients:

  • 4 lb Carrots

  • 2 ounces Fresh Root Ginger

  • 4 lb Demerara Sugar

  • Juice of 2 Lemons

  • Juice of 2 Oranges

  • Yeast (
    use bread yeast - chromatographic testing shows that it gives cleaner results
    )

  • 1 gallon Water

Method:

Grate the carrots and the ginger and put into a very large saucepan (see next if you haven't got such a thing). Pour the water over the shredded carrot and ginger and then boil for around 20 minutes. Finally, strain into a clean bucket.

If you haven't got a large saucepan, divide the carrot and ginger up proportionately between two saucepans and add boiling water. Boil for 20 minutes and strain into a bucket and then repeat the process with more water until you have around a gallon of liquid that has been boiled with the carrot and ginger.

Add the demerara sugar and the lemon and orange juice while still hot and stir until dissolved. Allow to cool to blood temperature and then add the yeast.

Allow to ferment for a day and then transfer to demijohns and continue to ferment until the reaction comes to a halt (2 - 3 weeks). Add two campden tablets and allow the yeast to settle. When clear, filter into bottles and allow 3 months to mature.

Variations:

Try different citrus varieties or types of sugar.

Storage:

Keep in bottles on their side for at least three months.

 

I bet his containers and utensils werent clean or they werent left to settle for long enough

and it's not laughing matter - above posted is actually all true.

 

I am sure it is true and I wasnt laughing at you and your friends per se, just the situation, I think that it was the perveyor of the stuff more to blame than the carrot though

Re: Carrot wine.

 

I would suggest reducing the sugar to no more than 3lb. Use "golden granulated sugar" or half white and half demerara.

 

(use bread yeast - chromatographic testing shows that it gives cleaner results)
no way, Jose.

Bread yeast is not as alcohol tolerant as the more specialised yeasts, so you will not get a full fermentation. Also it is sometimes difficult to clear without filtering.

Use a good Tokay yeast and ferment the wine to dryness.

 

An excellent aperitif!
