Brexit, for once some facts.

Text taken from the citizens advice website UK ...

If something is advertised at the wrong price
This advice applies to England Print
If something you want to buy is advertised at the wrong price, you may be able to buy it at the lower price.

Buying in a shop
Your legal rights in a shop will depend on whether you’ve paid for the item yet or not.

If you haven’t bought it yet
If you take an item to the till and are told the price on the tag or label is a mistake, you don’t have a right to buy the item at the lower price. You could still try asking the seller to honour the price.

It’s the same if you see an item advertised anywhere for a lower price than the one on the price tag.

Lol!

Of course!

Read what it says! You pay for the price advertised. Of course if you payed higher you can't go back and claim the new price is lower!

Begorrah!

That saying about the Irish is true.

Point is. In the UK it is honoured. A gentleman's agreement as it were.

 

[Danidl]

I agree. I don't want to get into a discussion with you about this.

I am a professional in this field who spent years at Evesham studying this and there is nothing more boring than arguing with someone who once watched something on telly and is now an expert.

It's beyond tiresome.

It is tiresome correcting you as for instance instead of 2 German TV public channels there are 17.. plus of course a myriad of private ones.

Of course the Germans have many stations.

I am talking about what you get for paying their TV tax. And it is a tax as it goes to the government. Do you agree?

It's far more expensive than herr. Do you agree on this?

Sorry mate. You don't get it.

In the UK the price is honoured.

I could cite many instances. Many.

Some would make your toenails curl at how the seller priced wrongly. To the tune of the thousands and had to honour the mistake.

Yes. . I actually agree with you that the BBC is a very good operation.
The BBC licence fee is probably one of the lowest ..
As it is I do not pay a licence fee in France because their law states that possession of any apparatus capable of receiving live TV .. including settop boxes , computer dongles ,on a premises on 1st January is liable ... So I remove my TV to home every winter.

If it is honoured, it is based on goodwill ,which is fine..anyway enjoy you new speaker. These new generation of networked and active speakers are decimating the old fashioned audiophile fraternity.

Well that's up to you.

But Dan everytime. Everytime your massive brain argues facts that you know nothing about ends this way.

It just makes you look silly. That said I would quite happily sit and bore you about digital conversion and my utter lack knowledge about how it really works over a powers whiskey would be a joy.

It really is witchcraft.

I could explain to you black and white TV. And how it works. I could come close to explaining phase alternate lines in regard to colour TV. I'd struggle but get though after six large ones and you'd believe me.

But digital....nah. my crust understands it but to explain it to a layman...I lack the patience or wherewithal

And anyway by then we'd be talking about other **** . Christ mate we'd be arguing to the sun rises and about that too I'm sure.

But in a good way.

I like you X

Stockholm syndrome again.

..The difference is that I taught classes in these subjects, National Diploma students in Electronic Engineering. The ND broadly equivalent to a General B.Eng,but more narrowly focused

With respect I guess it comes down to the old adege. If you can't do then teach.

I do.

 

[Fingers]

Oh well, back to normal.

Dan knows everything. If he hasn't taught it then it's because it hasn't been invented.

 

[oldgroaner]

I'm no Farage fan but what has he said there that is wrong?

Perhaps he failed to see that he was applying double standards?

 

[oldgroaner]

I do.

The problem for you is, the world doesn't actually "need" what you "do"
whereas Teachers "do" what the world actually needs.

The 14 years old law is uniquely a UK nanny state measure.

When those who rule us woke up to the fact that from 1983, kids could ride bikes at 15 mph with a terrifying 200 watts of power assistance, they added the 14 years old lower limit to the Road Traffic Act 1988 but not to pedelec law. That RTA is of course motor vehicle law, while two other laws say pedelecs are not motor vehicles.

Everywhere else in Europe, kids can and do ride pedelecs at any age, as witness this Dutch 12 year old with his younger brother on board:

View attachment 31295

Yes, the Cube / Bosch mountain bike the kid was riding had definitely been designed for pre-teen / early teenagers. It wasn’t just a small framed adult bike.

I am astonished by the take up of e-bikes. I’m in Austria now and they are everywhere and of every type, mountain bikes, utility bikes and even a few road bikes. All age groups are riding them too, and I don’t think they are tourists. In the town I’m currently in, ebike numbers totally dominate their unpowered counterparts.

It’s such a shame that ebikes are only for invalids and cheats in the U.K. and therefore are a complete waste of time. We in the U.K. are far too macho to take take to an ebike. Better to grind it out up those hills, collapse in a sweaty heap, and then throw the bike in the shed never to be ridden again after such a miserable experience. It’s the way forward in the U.K.

The Brexiteers must be comforted by the diversion from our situation Trump is providing, he's better for their cause than another Royal whelp.

Trump supporters roar 'Send her back, Send her back' after US president slams far-left 'squad' member Ilhan Omar at a campaign rally - after suggesting she is 'married to her brother'

There is a difference here. Farage created the party which he now leads. If Farage hadn’t created it, the party wouldn’t exist, so I can’t see what is so outrageous about him leading. The next BXP leader, if there is one, will be chosen by way of election. I don’t know why everyone is getting a cock-stand about it.

Do you seriously expect that

a: There will be a next BXP leader and Farage doesn't close the company down having "exhausted the funds on campaigning" after Brexit

b: There will be a BXPleadership election ever, when he doesn't have to have one?

Oh Dear now you are into "One upmanship"

I’m sorry. I don’t understand what you are saying.

Farage is the creator, founder, inventor, face of, soul of the Brexit Party. It’s his, he made it, and it would be mental to then step away from it and put a total unknown in charge.

It’s the same if you created a new toilet, a real turd destroyer that could handle anything using only a teaspoon full of water. Would you then have an election in the design office to see who was going to lead on the development of it? Give Gerald, Kevin or Alan a fair chance to take the credit?

Madame Fufenspunkentrumper didn’t invent the EU, it’s not hers, so it’s only right that she is elected. Elected from a base of one. Hmmmm
