Can someone have a go at settling this argument. I bought a TV from Currys in January, and it now no longer gives a satifactory picture. Took it back on Monday(Bank Holiday), with receipt expecting refund. Manager said he could only send it back for repair. I quoted SOG act and said it was my decision to have a refund. He refused. What should I have done in the Shop. My wife said if I left the TV...

Has the Olympic Games lost it's competitors amateur status now big business has contaminated it ?

This is not a hypothetical question but a request for advice based on a real oven with a real fault. Seven years ago, I had my kitchen completely refitted. Included in the refit was the usual collection of kitchen appliances. It became apparent very quickly that food was coming out of the fan oven vastly undercooked. A quick check with a thermometer revealed that the oven was taking a...

I normally don't cross-post, but in this case I'm making an exception. The Government has set up a website in order to brainwash students into total acceptance of the national identity card. It's a revelation to me that such a huge number of students (apparently, you have to be in the age range 18 - 25) are so scathing about the ID card and the blatant propaganda exercise that www.mylifemyid.org...

It has always been the case that if a cheque was not presented for payment within 6 months of its date of issue, it became "stale" and the bank would not pay out. My business partner was told by a bank clerk the other day that the rules had now changed and a cheque was valid without limit of time. Does anyone know anything about this? --

Does anyone know what the law says about foreign workers in the UK, working for a foreign company, and their holiday entitlement? Is their employer required to give holidays in the same way as UK nationals would, or are they covered by the law in their home country? Phil.

I have made what I hope is a straight forward possession order application following the breakdown in communication and failure to pay rent from my tenant. I served the usual Section 21 notice by hand on the original named tenant on the AST - a single mum with one young child living with her at home (child is a minor and NOT a named tenant). I am not wanting a hearing to discuss rent...

Pervs chemical castration cure By VINCE SOODIN CHILD sex fiends are being offered chemical castration to ‘cure’ them. Jailed paedophiles will be given drugs which reduce their testosterone levels to that of a pre-pubescent boy – a similar effect to castration.

Anyone got any details? It seems a pretty obvious next step, since first foreigners, then students are going to be getting the card. If students could not get a loan with an ID card or maybe not even a place at uni, then the card is effectively mandatory. The step after that is pensioners.

Whan I was a kid, I used to go regularly to see the changing of the guard and military tattoo - as a grown-up one of my favourite days out was to the good old airshow with Red Arrows and paratroopers. Whatever else we have been rubbish at, our military has been the one thing we are reliably 'good at' - the tattoos are spectacular and impressive. Russkies and Chinese might like to parade missiles...
