I wonder how many apps I have on my phone and iPad can legally do the same? I don’t think I’ve ever fully read the T&Cs I happily agree to when installing an app.

Where’s “It’s a Knockout”?

Strikes me as a perfectly reasonable question to which Clarkson has received a perfectly reasonable answer. Why the furore? :shrug:

Is that really so or is that just the case for middle income families? I would have thought the poorer families spend a higher proportion of their income on VAT exempt items such as food, housing and children’s clothing. I agree that wealthier families don’t spend as much of their income as...

Like anything else - it’s worth the higher of what anyone is willing to offer and what the owner is willing to accept.

And as mentioned earlier in this thread - what of the office worker whose space was blocked for three days despite notices both in front of the space and painted on the tarmac? Who should they employ to stop the trespass?

Discussion is fine but comments like these? Plus many more such remarks.

Of course you are right that there are false claims of rape, false claims of child and sex abuse and false claims of racial abuse that can cause unjustified stress and pain to those being accused. The simple truth however is that these cases are vastly outnumbered by genuine claims and, as...

The other side of the coin is that for decades women who cried they were raped were simply not believed and ignored. Unless you can walk in the shoes of someone being abused it is easy to say that the abuse never happened. I’d rather believe someone who claims they have received abuse until...

My three are Norwich, Sheffield and City. My three “no way again”, are Everton, Newcastle and United.

Interesting piece.

Strange ethics that say that this life is worth more than that one. Practical, yes - emotional, yes - ethical, hmmm?

Indeed . . . but the claim that vegans or anyone else stops eating meat for ethical reasons just doesn’t hold water. Emotionally I can understand their stance. However how many want rodents to run rife without some sort of control, and what of the much larger class of animals - insects...

Simply not possible in all cases to put up barriers in a car park that is shared with the public on a pay and display basis - all that can realistically be done is put notices up and employ a deterrent for when these are ignored. Your analogy of leaving the front door open is not applicable -...

Not sure that would be legal but a ‘note’ asking the driver not to park there again, printed on A3 paper attached to the windscreen with copious amounts of treacle seems to be effective - the problem is though that there is always another selfish idiot willing to take their place. I’ve not seen...

The ones who are really causing the harm are the inconsiderate drivers who fill up the parking spaces!

It’s not easy to ‘police’ yourself, you can’t easily get the details of the registered owner.

You’d need to check but I think that Mercedes use the “sealed for life” ZF automatic transmission. If this is the case with your car then your problem sounds very much like the one I had with my Jag which also uses the ZF box - kept coming up with gearbox ‘error’ and going into limp mode...

Not when the spaces are part of a larger car park! Other than trying to deter trespassers with a financial penalty what can be done? To park in the public spaces costs £11 for 8 hours which has to be paid by the employee when their space has been blocked - why shouldn’t a trespasser be...

Clamping is already outlawed but how do you suggest that an office near Gatwick can deter people from parking in their car park? Barriers don’t work, notices don’t work - block trespassers in with another vehicle and the police tell you move it. All very well suggesting court action but that...
