Police priorities (New thread for the luncbox debate bit) by Guy Fawkes
Take a Walk wrote: So how and who now debates Police priorities? Five years ago, I used to be able to ring the local Nick (a mile away) direct and if they wern't busy they swarm round your broken in car and circuling the estate like hawks. Three years ago they disabled all local nick numbers and you had to ring the area nick and get put thru if you were lucky.

Huntley & Carr - Habeas Corpus by Brian
Another four week delay - but why the 12 months so far? When does Habeas Corpus kick in? To continue to bring suspects before a court at regular intervals to satisfy the letter of the law is hardly justice. The state could presumably lock up anyone who becomes tiresome and delay their trial ad infinitum - sounds familiar to the antics of that poky dictatorship whose name escapes. Brian

Patient rights - NHS? by Derry Argue
Fictitious case based on fact Patient (not me!) learns of a new surgical procedure which could eleviate his condition far better than the more usual one offered by his local hospital. Quicker, shorter recovery time, fewer side effects, and proven track record. However, the consultant he is sent to by his GP refuses to refer him to the hospital doing this new procedure, even for an initial...

name and shame by Rick
Hi, I have been given really bad service by a car dealer from whom i purchased a new car two months ago. I would like to name and shame this establishment through the internet. Do I risk any legal action if i restrict myself to listing what has effectively happened to me. Also can i says something like "don't use this car dealer". My guess would be that I can't... any opinions are appreciated

Harrassment? by Benedict White
What you need to do is keep a diary of this stuff. Keep notes, timed dated and signed. If he has a conversation with a visitor to your house, get the visitors details so that they can make a statement later if necessary, or better still write out a brief note and get them to sign it on the spot. What a PITA. His surname is not Stoner is it?

Illegal Conveyancing by Serf
Under the Solicitors Act 1974 it is an offence for someone who is not a solictor or licensed conveyancer to prepare a contract, transfer or conveyance relating to land "in expectation of fee gain or reward". Is the preparation of such a document by an unqualified person employed by a legal practice explicitly permitted, or is this a grey area which is untested by the courts? serf

Rented garage dilemma. by Zo
We rent a garage off the council - and have done for 20 odd years. Three years ago the roof started leaking, which we reported. Time went by and it wasn't fixed. On going back to the council to ak why, they informed us that the years budget for repairs had expired and we would have to re-apply again, which we duly did. Another year past and the same thing again - re-apply. We asked when they...

broken boiler update by Fat Freddy's Cat
For those that posted advice. The PCB on my boiler was faulty and the plumber replaced it. Cost £152+VAT plus fitting. Strangely enough, he was called to another Ideal boiler customer right after mine went titsup and it was also a PCB failure. Guess what? Ideal sent out an engineer with a new PCB free of charge. This boiler was 18 months old, mine was only 14 but they are refusing to refund the...
