Tractorman810 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 3? dos the cyclist or biker get 3 strikes before they can claim if they get thrown off?? doubt it,if its bad enough to destroy a tyre then its bad enough to kill them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No .. It's not that way . You just need prof ... 3 different receipts on different dates for new tyres + pictures of the pot holes on 3 occasions .. But if a repair is carried out on a known pot hole & that repair up lifts again ... and you happen to hit it , then a pic of that is more than enough on a 1 strike , because it proves the councils repair did not work & they are liable . But a pot hole caused by natural causes ... they can fight it & win most of the time . Over here they just throw in a shovel or 2 of tar into a pothole full of rainwater & it's washed out again in a few days !! That's were you can catch them , but it's still just tax payers money going to waste at the same time . Road tax here is calculated on the size engine you have in your car . So if I drive a small Yaris with a 1 litre engine ..tax is small , if it's a BMW M3 or something like it ... then it's huge !! I drive a 09 Mazda 6 petrol 1.8 & it costs we 600 quid a year for road tax . It's enough for our shitty roads !!!

Also still getting the same Italian guy asking if i ship to Italy every time i have anything farm related on there...has never bid on any item..so I've stopped replying now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 idiots on ebay asking if I sell abroad or asking for buy it now,when the listing clearly says its a bidding auction and that I don't send abroad,must have had over 30 messages last night,unbelievable as Victor meldew would say 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Paul have you not used the Global shipping programme on ebay yet? Ive sold several through it now and its actually very easy.............You sell a model to Mr International buyer and then write out the ebay supplied address to the GSP centre in Derby which will include the buyers hashtag ref#xxxxxxx ......................so for a small 2nd class parcel you pay 2.90 or whatever which the buyer has already paid for anyway and post it off to the GSP depot and that's it!!!.................its then upto the GSP too charge the buyer for the transit from Derby to outer Mongolia or wherever he lives, you don't get involved Once you have done one its a piece of cake and lets face it all bidders pushing up the price are welcome aren't they Edited February 1, 2018 by bluegreen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 The fact that an individual on here used the forum as a means of conning fellow members out of their money, abusing the trust of people( myself included) to make himself a bit of extra cash. I think it is a very sad day when something like this happens, obviously the said individual has no conscience or moral values whatsoever. However, you live and learn and I for one will perhaps be a little less trusting in future. What a sad reflection of the world we live in today. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 The prat conned me as well. Thank you to some forum members who helped me locate him, his phone number, his address and his business on faceslap. I won't tell you what I said to him on the phone yesterday but I have been refunded. Who says threats of violence gets you nowhere. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
