  1. I had loads to submit but had this friday in my mind as closing date so only managed to submit one. If your open to some late entries to boost numbers let me know

  2. I drove home this eve 5.5 miles in London..just kept a note of what I found, now draw your own conclusions. :scare:

     

    16 drivers on mobile phones, and I'm sure there's more which I didn't see.

     

    9 bicycles without lights, one had a rear one but no front. How stupid given that 6 have been killed in London in a week.

     

    3 bicycles who could not be bothered to stop at a red light. Amazed it was only 3..!!

     

    12 cars with one headlight. (That's unbelievable..my son said its down to buying cheap bulbs from China.)

     

    4 cars with only one rear light or one brake light.

     

    2 cars WITH NO LIGHTS.

     

    4 cars driving with FULL HEADLIGHTS ON..!

     

    DID NOT SEE ONE POLICE CAR..!!

     

    Keep safe out there and watch out for the idiots who couldn't give a sh1T about driving safe... :surrender: :surrender:

     

    I hate those people with full headlights on!!! grrrrrrr!!!! :rant:

     

    and fog lights anyone driving with front spot lights on when there is no sign of fog should be shot it doesn't make your car faster or sportier so turn the things off,

  3. technically they can deem it illegal to change the radio station using the buttons on the radio, anything that requires you to take full attention of the road can be deeemed an offence and it has been this way for a long time just you wont hear of many being pulled for changing the cd radio station etc

  4. Seeing everyone on here is so helpful maybe some of you can help me with an issue.

     

    It all begins about 18 months ago, when i purchased a ring from a friend for my stepmum fully custom 5k ring which cost me 2k. On seeing this deal my boss informs me that he is after a ring for his fiancee too so i ask my mate about it and he says it is possible. My boss then says what if she doesn't like it although it is a design she has specifically chosen and would be a custom job again. My mate informs me that if she doesn't like the ring he would be able to put it in his mates shop to sell but it could take a week or could take 2 years but as soon as it sold he would get a full refund, but there is no refunds as such as it is a private cash sale for a custom peice of jewellery.

     

    At this point i give each of them the others details as i dont want to be involved, Boss agrees and orders his ring, due to the extra work involved he gets a 4.5k ring for 2.5k.

     

    Ring is delivered and she loves it. Then a month or two later the ring is returned to me with, she no longer wants it as one of the 25 stones fell out whilst she was doing washing up or some sort. My mate takes the ring back repairs and checks all the other stones out his own pocket, which he said he doesn't really have to do as he has no idea how the ring has been looked after or what really caused the stone to fall out.

     

    Im then informed she still doesn't want the ring back as she cant trust wearing it anymore. So my mate says he will put it up for sale in his mates shop window.

     

    Time passes and i had totally forgotten all about it till one day about 10 months later my boss informs me that my mate will be bringing the ring round so i could deliver it back to him. A few weeks later as promised the ring is given to me to return.

     

    I give the ring to my boss only for the next day it be bought back with no other issues saying no she doesn't want it im not taking it i want my money back.

     

    I go back to my mate tell him the story to which he refuses to take it back saying under the terms and conditions of the trading standards act for a private cash sale he has gone above and beyond what he needs to do.

     

    Now im left in possession of a ring that neither will accept. Work has become really uncomfortable as i am being used as the middle man, and being pressurised to resolve this and present my boss with his money. My mate is no longer talking to me due to the stress this has caused him. i fell uncomfortable at work and am becoming stressed over the whole situation.

     

    I feel like this is all being left down to me to resolve, i am now responsible for a 4.5k ring that no one wants but cant afford to lose, i am in the middle of buying my first house so could do without all the extra pressure.

     

    what do people suggest.
