I purchased a boiler last year, made by a company called Keston. It is a high end boiler (not a cheapo one you get from a DIY superstore!). It failed after 14 months use, and as I wanted a fast resolution I skipped over the supplier, and went straight to th emanufacturer. They said that the would send an engineer BUT if they found the fault was external to the boiler they would charge. ...

Long story short...... Guy has 2 accounts for his shops with my small business, one of his stores is xxx Ltd one is bloke 'trading as' xxx. By January of this year it became obvious that he was unable to pay aged invoices so we went legal on him. Approx £4500 on his Ltd and £2500 on his other account. The Ltd account is currently in the hands of the sherrifs, he wanted a payment schedule but we...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3557266.stm Hmmmm , sounds like another step towards Blunketts plan of giving the police to do anything without justification , and not something that the police actually need (or want). There are very few occassions when officers want/need to arrest someone but can't find a suitable offence to fit the scenario. The idea of them being able to arrest anyone for the...

(Also posted in UK Legal, but no replies as yet) I returned from Maternity leave 4 years ago. I wanted to return to my existing management grade part time. This was deemed to be operationally hot practical, so I returned to a lower grade, and had my hourly rate cut by over £2. I have just stumbled across current company policy which is dated before my return from maternity. This policy clearly...

I understand that there are also such things as women-only sports clubs. This is somewhat different because the primary purpose of the club is not to promote women's sports but to provide sports facilities for women. I am sure that many women-only sports clubs would provide full membership to men on the basis that they did not use the women-only facilities. It is only a small...

In my experience police forces are almost entirely driven by PR. Not public relations in the sense of ordinary people's perception of the police officers but how the media can be manipulated to show them in an efficient light. The officers were probably under orders to stop, search and report any youths they encountered - to add to police statistics. Blame the media for taking official reports on...
