And sorry Bob my views haven’t changed.

Tell them!

From Cit Advice page:

The answer is yes and no, according to Citizens Advice.

Items that firms send to you, but you didn’t actually order are called “unsolicited goods”. You’re well within your rights to keep them.

You have no obligation to send them back to the company or to pay for them. If a company demands payment, that’s a criminal offence.

But this doesn’t apply to items sent to you by mistake (as happened to Robert); if the order was sent to you twice; or if there’s extra stuff on top of what you ordered.

If a firm has left goods with you that weren’t unsolicited goods, they still belong to the trader and you should try to give them back.

Firms can take you to court to recover their goods.

That happened last Christmas when online retailer Zavvi sent customers games consoles worth £170, instead of games that cost £20.

So if they were sent by mistake what do I do?
If items are sent to you by mistake, you will need to contact whoever sent them and ask them to collect the goods.

That shouldn’t cost you anything or inconvenience you in any way. You should also give the company a reasonable deadline to collect the items.

Over the years I have had a fair bit of connection with the railway mainly because my father worked on it.

Don’t know whether it is true or not but it was said that on many branchlines Beeching did his survey in the summer – school holiday weeks – hence lower daily footfall.  That said as a preserved railway enthusiast he did great work for the current preserved lines – without him I doubt very much whether we would still be seeing steam trains anywhere in the UK.

The UK railway network stems back to the Victorian times and to a great extent the majority of current network is still using the same routes – bends and hills etc. During the war the UK railway network was severely damaged and engines and rolling stock simply run into the ground – little investment was made in the railways save a patch here and there. Another great disadvantage of railways in the UK was that they were ‘commo0n carriers’ which meant that had to carry anything to anywhere and had to advertise their prices for doing so.  Ideal for a ‘man with a van’ and undercutting or old WD lorries sold off at rock bottom rates post war to private haulage companies.

The devastation on the continent gave them the opportunity (and foresight??) to build a new system – we continued with the old building steam locos because we then had an abundance of local coal whereas more far sighted systems electrified – only the SR in the UK followed suite. As already said Marple had a very strong invested interest in road transport and made certain that money went into road as opposed to new tracks / rolling stock.

The UK in many aspects has been in the forefront of new technology only to dither about funding and then purchasing off the Yanks or other manufacturing country – we have bought back our own ideas because those in government either lacked real knowledge of the technology or had vested interests elsewhere.

We are the poor men of Europe in terms of high speed trains – yet all the agro with HS2 beggers belief. We will get HS2 when most other countries will be running their equivalent of HS5 unfortunately.

But thanks you Dr Beeching we owe that to you for unwittingly ensuring that in decade to come you preserved systems you where instructed to destroy.

I would have thought personally that the first rule of investigation might well have been evidence.

I was wondering the other day what if ‘Yes, Prime Minister’ was still churning out new episodes with the old cast, how would Sir Humphrey have described the current position with Brexit?

In June 2019 I was looking for a new laptop and Dave Rice suggested the following

HP 255 G7 Ryzen 3 8GB 256GB Full HD 15.6in Win10 Laptop,  Ebuyer Q/find code 874549 currently £329.98 – my daughter is extremely pleased with it and it fulfills all of her requirements.

Thanks Dave – spot on!!

Any chance in the near future there will be the ability to make donations via PP as per the past – it was soooooooo much easier than having to remember to do it!! I’ll do it manually for now – when it’s fixed.

As far as I know all is working great with Forumite at the mo, just would also like to add that I do really like the new colour scheme and the clean uncluttered look that there is now. Very much easier to read.

Great work.

 

PS where’s the DONATE button gone? I used to have a SO for you.

Thanks Dave, I can re-set the BIOS to see if that helps, I may be able to test the GPU in my PC or swap my g/card and see what happens, if all fails them mobo but as you say I have yet to have a CPU fail on me.
