  1. Had a reply regarding my policy that should have included, as advertised, £100K legal expenses, to be told that it is only £25K. when I pointed out that the offer was for the larger amount, I was told that under their terms and conditions, they could vary the amount when necessary and that the new lower amount was agreed with the underwriter on 1st August. I then pointed out that their advert was incorrect and should not have stated the terms and conditions to obtain the higher amount and as everything was done correctly within the time limit, it could be considered to be false advertising. it was then stated that the web site was changed on the 18th July to the lower terms but when I pointed out that the advert was still showing the higher amount on the 25th the only answer given was to offer a £3.00 discount or full refund. chairman
  2. I took advantage of the legal expense cover as it stated that all new policies taken out before 31st July would have £100000 of legal cover included. Today I received an email stating that this cover would only be £25000 for any policy started prior to 31st and after this date, would be at an additional charge. Tried ringing to get an explanation but phone goes straight to a poor quality answer phone. chairman

    NHS crisis

    I have just returned home after visiting my son in hospital and am sat here thinking how very lucky he has been. yesterday evening about 1130 he started feeling unwell and fortunately his partner recognised his symptoms as a stroke. she phoned for an ambulance and after 20 mins spoke to a controller who after asking many questions decided that he should be treated as a priority case. She was then informed that there was at least a five hour wait for an ambulance so living about 10 mins fron the main hospital , she managed to get him into the car and drove him there herself only to find that the A and E department had closed for the night.After going round and banging on doors and getting no answer she again phoned for an ambulance while she was outside the hospital. This time she was told that there would be a wait of about 8 hours! there then followed a nightmare drive to the only hospital in the area with an open A and E department some 30 miles away and upon arrival she found the place deserted. As there was a parking problem, she was forced to drop my son at the entrance and leave him to stagger in while she moved and parked the car in a nearby taxi rank. When she returned she found that he had been rushed to the cardiac ward and was under going scans and tests and was in a serious situation. I dread to think what would have happened if she had waited for the ambulance as she has still not had notification that it has been sent. he has today whilst in hospital had a further stroke and is rather poorly but tonight I read that the health secretary is refusing to talk with the various unions about pay increases as the cost would be to high. I have one message for him, I hope that you are never in the same situation as my son because you definitely won’t consider the cost if you are, but there again, you are probably private Start sorting out the mess the government has created before there is nothing left to sort out. rant over. chairman
  4. If the Wi-Fi is good then simply buy an Amazon fire stick for around £35 plug this into the back of the television and set it up to the broad band. Don’t be tempted with sky as the minimum contracts are 12 months. we have just got rid of sky after around 16 years and replaced it with fire sticks and better broadband and we are now £130 per month better off. If you go this way try to get a 4K version as it has better speed and voice control chairman
  5. Just given sky the boot and gone with gigaclear on 18 month contract. I get full fibre to the house and 300mps download for £20 per month

    Boat

    How much are you looking to spend? I have a 5.2 mtr fast fishing boat with fully serviced 75hp mariner sat on a trailer that’s been dry stored for a number of years due to illness total hours use is around 40 hours from new and everything was purchased new boat is similar to a merry fisher or arvor and has all the electronics also has 5 hp mariner back up and a 3mtr inflatable with solid floor and 9hp mercury Total package cost new would be around £32000 and valued recently at £14k so open to sensible offers pm if you are interested and I will send pictures chairman
  7. Yes I expected to loose a few days but not the whole lot
  8. Had the chance to get an early mot test on my car so although it didn’t expire until 26th April, after checking that you can apply before, I took my car today. When the certificate or paperwork as it is now, was issued the expiry date was printed as 24th March 2023. As I was expecting the date to be 26th April I questioned the date and I was told that you can apply for a test up to 28 days early and the additional time is added onto the expiry date meaning the time from your old test is added to the new date so giving you almost 13 months. 28 days from your existing test and 12 months from the new test. I was told that as the new test was done over 28 days before expiry this rule didn’t apply and the expiry date of my mot is now 24 march 2023 so had I waited I could have had the car tested on 26 April and had 12 months from then so effectively I have lost 1 months mot from next year and it will now be due earlier. What a strange rule but lesson learnt, in future wait until it has almost expired.
  9. Farr stopped selling in the uk but they are manufactured by hisun E p barrus took over the sales and import of hisun and I believe that spares are available through them i have also been told that the Yamaha rhino is the same vehicle with a different bonnet

  11. Do you have any puppies left. can you pm me your phone number so we can have a conversation as am very interested chairman
  12. I think under the current situation, the 101 staff possibly don't have the time to read and reply to emails so a polite phone call is the best way forward. I had available when I phoned, the farmers name and address along with his contact details, the reason for my request and the village where the fields were and in my case an easy identified land mark as it would appear that this information was viewed and identified on a map of the area. I don't think that to simply state crop protection is sufficient unless you can state a good reason for responding to the farmers request. chairman
  13. I phoned 101 and when I got through,I ignored the coronavirus announcement and selected the last option from the list. This got me to an operator who then after explaining what I was calling about transferred me to another department who made the decision that my request was for crop protection and issued me with a reference number that in her own words was for me to show anybody should I get stopped. It was apparent that had I have not had the exact details of the fields I wished to shoot, the farmers name and contact number and the address of the farm and have a genuine reason, the outcome might well have been different chairman
  14. At 430pm this afternoon I had a desperate request from a farmer asking if I could attempt to keep pigeons off his new drilled peas as he was concerned that he would lose most of the seed and he had doubled up on the amount drilled to try to have some crop return subject to getting pickers. In view of the published response from Avon and Somerset I decided to give them a call to see what the options were and after explaining the request from the farmer and his attempt to ensure a future crop, I was informed that it would be classed as crop protection and I could drive to the fields and shoot. I was then issued with a log number that was sent by text so I could produce it should it be necessary absolutely no problem with Avon and Somerset once the situation had been explained to them and they were allowed to make the decision regarding crop protection and log number issued at 455pm Chairman
  15. Was it these as that's what we used to get chairman
