Just wanting to settle some banter on a forum elsewhe I don't believe there are any partical requirements for disposing of a dead cat. I'm not aware that anyone needs to be notified, or that it needs to be buried anywhere in particular (obviously not breaking other laws by disposing of it dangerously). However, another poster claims that the dead cat must be "sent away" - where, I don't know.

Hello, My wife moved out a number of years ago after she had an affair and has since been with the same man.

She has also stated a couple of facts which I can prove are untrue. The question is...

I've long moaned about Play.com's crap service, taking orders for items and implying that they'd be quickly filled only to find out the item was 'out of stock' and would never materialise, etc. but a couple of years ago I wasn't quite so anti.

A Ford main dealer took delivery of a Renault Megane Scenic in July 2007 and sold it to my wife in October 2007. In October 2008 they rang her to arrange a service, which they promptly carried out.
