Now they have take a large sum of money out of my account without asking me, as it goes, I know this has probably been said before, it was my sons money. They say they posted me a letter on the 23rd of this month but the money was removed at 1.55 pm...

In message , Young Nick writes That's FOUR TIMES the UK legal power limit ! Young Nick, Why the attack on contesters? I've seen amplifiers in non-contesters shacks that would make most contesters drool. I've seen a homebrew one that must be good for, oh, at least 10KW. I reckon it's already been

Hi all, wonder if anyone can shed some lite on this. Six months ago the company van that i have to drive failed its MOT. 3 weeks later it was welded up and re MOT'd by the company, this I know to be correct as I went round to the testing station to complain that this rotten K reg reck was to be certified as road worthy. Last week some guy ran into the back of my company van and on reporting the...

if the person in front brakes suddenly for no apparent reason Mentioned this a while ago. A bus depot mechanic was on a test drive with a supervisor. He asked if it was ok to test the brakes on the bus and the guy said yes. Hit the anchors and a young lad on a moped was flattened on the rear end. Bus driver was convicted. Can't remember the offence but probably Due Care or maybe Driving...

Hi, I suppose a lot of uk.legal readers/posters know that the HMSO website contains all UK acts of parliament passed since 1988... as webpages free for all to read and print. What I find scandalous is that HMSO is refusing to put any older acts online, despite promising back in 2000 that eventually all acts would be online.

I have 3 points on my driving license for speeding (SP30). How long do these points stay on the licence? How do I get them removed? TIA

Hi everyone, I’m a regular reader of this group and I’m hoping some one could give some advice. About a year ago my sister and her then boyfriend bought a house together. The deeds and mortgage are in my sisters sole name and her boyfriend signed a paper stating he had no interest in the property even though he was making the mortgage payments. My sister had to move out due to his...

snip theory the person in front could even stop and reverse into you claiming you shunted then ? Unlikely I know but I have experienced what I consider seriously deranged behaviour on a couple of occasions over the years when drivers have used their cars as weapons in this manner. I`ve heard of a few people who have had that done to them (and mainly by taxis for some reason ?!? loss...

This is a bit of an odd one - and probably there is nothing we can do but Id be interested in comments. My family have a very unusual surname ( in fact unique). My brother married, and as is the norm, his wife ( who by the way had been married before and had children by a previous marriage) took his name. His wife is now his ex wife - she dumped him and went to shack up with another man and...

the garage has now suggested that they can fit a new centre piece to the roof this would involve removing the centre piece between the two outer strips on the roof, but would not involve them having to cut pillars so the structure of the car should be intact. Would this be correct? Ed

I recently put some business stock in an auction and I received a statement for the goods with the following calculations on it showing price attained and deductions. I wish to record this in my account book as a sale of business stock; btw I'm *NOT* VAT registered. I'm wondering should I record that the goods were sold for £130 with a total of £45.54 of expenses? This would seem to be what I...

Looking in the fish places, they would cost about £500 to replace, but I...
