  1. I had bariatric surgery in 2017 and was warned with the weight loss that their may be an excess of skin, removal of which is not funded by the NHS.
  2. Looks like this MP could do with help from CAG: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-46316184
  3. I forgot to display my badge and got a ticket. It was my first, so I made an informal appeal stating that I was interrupted when getting out of my car and simply forgot to put the badge in my windscreen and it was down to me to display it. After sending them a copy of my badge, they allowed the informal appeal as it was the first time, but warned that they would not allow it again. Circumstances differ and you may now have passed the point for an informal appeal and will have to appeal the ticket formally. Be sure of your facts if/when you do and be honest.
  4. Witness statements done. Interesting to note that there are now three possibilities - Third party will pull out, judge will look at case on paper only or there will be a session in the court. Still happy to take this as a 50/50 as there were no independent witnesses.
  5. Quick update, Solicitors have instructed a professional "witness statement taker" and he will be visiting us next week.
  6. The council will probably have, on staff, a team that would probably be able to repair the wall.
  7. Thanks. I'm trying to keep my daughters anxiety down. Just spoken to the solicitors who are dealing and they said it may not even get to court.
  8. Yes, they're dealing with it and we are using the legal cover with the policy. This appears to be a civil suit. One question is, if the decision goes against my daughter, would any claim be paid by the insurer. By daughter is nervous about actually going to court on the day. I'm assuming that a case like this would be dealt in an office situation?
  9. In 2016, my daughter was involved in a low speed collision, 5 mph ish - I was in the car with her. We were reversing out of our drive, which is a corner of a T culdesac. We had two pass a couple of houses before being able to exit the T. (hope you're getting the gist). As we reversed up the road, approx 20' one of the neigbours reversed out of their drive and we struck the drivers door. The front of the neighbours car was still on the pavement this time. Both myself and my daughter were looking behind and didn't see this until it was too late. The other driver was doing a reverse left turn and had her head turned to the left. Her view of the right was blocked as there was a van parked in the same drive. As I was looking at the damage to the car, the neighbours partner came out and very very aggressive. The only witnesses were the driver. I was in the car with my daughter and my wife. It was an accident pure and simple and we agreed with the insurance to class it as a 50/50 - there was no damage to our car. We didn't want to claim anything as there wasn't anything that warranted it. Roll on 12 months later, the other driver has refused the 50/50 and is now taking us to court, with a hearing in January. We firmly believe that this is now a crash for Cash. We're hoping that any sane judge would see this as an accident and throw this out. One thing that did happen shortly after, was my daughter was diagnosed with Chron's and has ended up will an illiostomy. She had been showing signs of anxiety before the accident, but this incident didn't help. Obviously the accident hadn't helped and may have made her condition worse. Any advise would be useful.
  10. I'd be contacting environmental health if there is no water supply.
  11. I work for the NHS and even though I have a long term condition, I'm still expected to make up time taken for hospital appointments.
  12. Could be grounds for Gross Misconduct. Could be bringing the company into disrepute, but that's down to the investigating officer. Never a good idea to have an argument about work on Social Media - some one is always watching.
  13. Why not send yourself some test mail, 1st, 2nd, recorded etc.
  14. The news that the boys and their coach have been rescued, although tinged with sadness due to one of the divers losing their life whilst trying to save others.
  15. If your your tyres were down to the cords and the police stop you, thats 3pts and a fine for each wheel..
  16. Getting the renewal notice for car insurance from Halifax, which has increased by £600 for the year but they can't tell me why. So, shopped around, got a good deal with more protection and costing slightly less than what I was paying the Halifax!
  17. You mean this one? No motor vehicles? It's been in the highway code for as long as I can remember.
  18. Just look at the issues Tesla has in the states with their auto-drive!
  19. My daughter had her passport renewed last year and had to get the form signed by a "professional" person.
  20. Hmm - scratches chin - smells fishy and we're not talking about Baldrick's Rhubarb Crumble!
  21. Your payroll team should have received notice of this and will have the details of the court order.
