    if you take a company to the small claims court where would the case be heard?

    where i live or in edinburgh?

    The small claims court was part of the other thread. You should perhaps post in that one. This thread is just about DSR ;)

    Your info. spread over multiple threads, yes we should all be grateful for you not starting yet another. How grateful are you for the advice you've had? Grateful enough to press the thanks button occasionally?

    why do things on this website always have to descend to nastiness?

    are you just spoiling for a fight or something? i never realised the thanks button was compulsory. most forums ive been on dont have such a button. dont you worry about looking a bit needy to throw a strop about it?

    if you've nothing useful to say why not try saying nothing?

    you seem to take it as a personal insult that ive got more than one thread going on your beloved forum, but come on theres gotta be worse crimes.

    some might think murder for instance was slightly worse

    as stated previously it goes without saying that im grateful for any constructive input. if that is insufficient for you so be it. i wont lose sleep over it

    i think that a thread enquiring about direct selling regulations is sufficiently different to my other thread that mentions double booked tickets. if you dont think that so be it. i wont lose sleep over that either

    why should tickets be exempt from this regulation?
    tir21 wrote: »
    the cab website seems a bit unclear on the matter. they say exemptions are

    financial services such as insurance, personal pension, investment or payment service

    sale of land or buildings except for certain rental agreements

    sale of land plus construction of buildings (a contract to construct when the land is already owned by you would be covered)

    long-term rental agreements (three years or more in England and Wales, one year or more in Scotland)

    auctionsinternet auctions, unless you use a ‘buy now’ function, rather than bidding.

    purchases from vending machines or automated commercial premisesthe use of a telecommunications operator through a public payphone


    you wouldnt know tickets wernt covered from that website

    hi mro



    to be fair though - where have i said i dont accept tickets are excluded from dsr


    You may not have expressly said it, but it came across that it was what you were implying by the responses you gave (to me and to a few others at least).

    Tickets arent excluded from the DSRs, just most of the regulations (pretty much all of the useful parts - ie regulation 10 which gives you the right to cancel unconditionally) dont apply.

    in the first example you quote i simply ask why tickets should be exempt and in the second i point out that the cab website is unclear about tickets being exempt. that is a criticism of the cab not any post in this thread

    it seems to me that many on these boards are just looking for any excuse to criticise

    i totally, 100%, without question accept that
