    • 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 may have to consider a hotel room too, as I've got work at 10 the next morning ...

I think that was why the nice pub at the back of Oxford Street (behind Liberty's) was ruled out as well. At least with the Printworks its a Weatherspoons pub and you know what to expect with the prices - besides I have some vouchers we might be able to use there - there are some doing the rounds in my local one and I've snaffled some two for one meals etc....

The vouchers in the paper are free.... I will bring some with me as they are valid for various months up to the New Year, I think one is also for a bottle of Champers at a reduced rate, but you might have to have a meal for 4 with it...

 

I think I am going to have a busy couple of months leading up to Xmas, the two CAG meets, two work dos I know of (one is possibly ice-skating, and it's been decided to have a drink first, THEN ice-skate:eek:) plus a couple of family dos... younger brother's birthday bash (he'll be 44) and usual Boxing Day get-together - with the great-nephews and nieces there it will be another opportunity for the puppets to party!

I don't care where it is as long as I know in advance so I can sort out where to stay.

 

Thanks for the offer Sillygirl, but if I'm in London I'd rather stay there so I'm not restricted to times. As you know I'm a bit of a night owl.:D

 

I liked the Princess Louise which has had a massive refurb. Reviews show it's retained it's character and is still reasonably priced. Just a thought. Princess Louise, Holborn, London, WC1V 7BW - pub details # beerintheevening.com

I'm up or coming along too.

I like the idea of the Princess Louise, it's a nice old pub with a bit more character than the usual Wetherspoons, and a damn site easier to find than the printworks (which I tried to find last year and got lost) !!

Also it's more central, and better for transport for all, including those south of river, and allows for anyone coming into London for the day to then get along to much easier if they perhaps decide to come get into London earlier and get in some Xmas shopping during the day ?

 

Like this idea.

Would be great to meet you PM. It was being refurbished when we went last year, but the year before we had a party there after the OFT rally and had a great night. See what others think.

If character means unpleasant toilets, dingy surroundings, terrible cola drinks, yeah, you're right, it has character by the bucketload. :lol:

 

Jealous, moi? Nahhh.... I just wish I hadn't left my CAG sweatshirt behind. :-(

 

No doubt the toilet situation was improved during refurb lol, and the faded

grandeur is apparently now gleaming.

 

Its all been well documented but this is a pub worth a visit purely for the superb interior. A huge island bar, panelled walls with tiled inserts, a spectacular ceiling with a tiled frieze below, supported by decorative columns. The entrance step and side corridor have mosaic floors and the original snob screen dividers have been remade and replaced. Fantastic mirrors too. The place positively gleams as well. Superb and laudable restoration, other breweries please take note.

Oh, and Sam Smiths OBB at 1-86 a pint in this location!

 

And if you will drink cola without voddy or bacardi what do you expect!:rolleyes::p

No problems meeting there at all - we can either stay put or go on from there - I think you'll find though that it won't be that busy on a Friday night as a lot of pubs now are very quiet.

 

We can walk to Covent Garden from there or walk to Oxford Street or wherever.
