Door to door leafleting.
99% of the time it is stuff I’m not interested in. Today I got a leaflet through from a Conservative candidate about the city council elections. I thought they would be suspending campaigning for a little longer but a quick Google suggests it’s now BAU apart from the day of the funeral.
Edited: fat fingers and pressed save too quickly.

Wife had a crash last year when someone changed lanes on a roundabout last minute rather than take the exit. Liability in dispute and she’s been getting treatment ever since because she broke her wrist. Found out today that the insurers accidently admitted liability back in November be pressing the wrong button when the other side made a PI claim. They’ve kept it secret from us and our solicitor whilst trying to resile. If they’d informed the solicitor straight away it would have been simple to roll back. Heck I could have told them what to do. Just annoying that if I screwed up line that and kept it a secret from my client for five months I’d personally be looking at serious sanctions from the regulator.
At least I now have it in writing that they screwed up and still believe we are 100% not at fault so a negligence claim will be easy if necessary.
I wish you the best of luck! I’ve only ever had one crash and it wasn’t my fault (I stopped, person behind me wasnt concentrating and hit me). Happend a couple of years ago. Even though it wasn’t even my claim my insurance is about 35% more expensive looking at comparison website with it added Vs without. Bloody ridiculous.
Luckily I have the best part of 1000 RTA liability trials under my belt (with a 75%+ win rate) plus numerous applications where the insurers screwed up and needed me to get them out of the doodoo. They were trying to fob me off on the phone until they realised that I actually knew what I was talking about and then started taking it seriously. I try at all costs to avoid the “I’m a lawyer” card when in a dispute with a company but sometimes it’s necessary.
Sounds like they picked the wrong fight!
Noted… for the next family prang.
I could do with an accident that wasn’t my fault right now
You…you want to be…hurt??
I could do with a cash injection lol
It’s amazing how easy it is to fake whiplash and get a good payout. There’s a reason I switched to defendant work from claimant, too many dodgy clients.
Couldnt we all?
a friend of mine had that.
parked up to pick up his gf and her friends upon enjoying a night out, reversed out of the space to leave and gave the lightest touch to the taxi behind - no damage to the taxi and a 50p size dent in the rear bumper of friends car. agreed there was nothing to make of it - two days later gets a call from the insurance indicating the taxi driver is suffering from whiplash…and interesting claim given his handbrake was on and the impact was less than walking speed!
Actually heartbroken by the number of complaints about the coverage of the passing of HRH Prince Philip. Over 70 years of service and complaints about 1 day of BBC coverage.
Not exactly shocked there are so many who don’t know what respect is or when it’s given.
They’re not complaining about the DofE, they’re complaining about the wall to wall coverage to the exclusion of all other things across every single aspect of the BBC for 3 full days. It’s not 1997 anymore, you don’t need to have BBC news 24 playing across the whole BBC. That’s why we have BBC News 24!
I loved the old bloke, but it was all a bit much.
I disagree with you there.
The BBC today said it put the complaints for up
On Friday afternoon and took it down Saturday morning/lunchtime. Therefore the 110k moaners were only really moaning about a 24Hr period not the 3 days.
Whilst it did go on a bit… by the Saturday evening. The Friday night stuff rightfully should of changed and then toned down by the Saturday.
The form was up until Sunday afternoon [1]:
This form was then taken down on Sunday, making it harder for people to register their displeasure.
and so I’d suggest it was a combination of people complaining about individual aspects of the simulcasting on Friday and the perceived sustained coverage over the weekend
