I've lived in the south of England for nearly 24 years now. I'm married to a lovely English girl and have two beautiful English kids.

When England get to the final stages of the World Cup or the European Championships, the whole town that I live in is a wonderful happy place to live in for two or three weeks.

Also, Scotland haven't qualified for anything in years.

What do you think??:p:p

You want France to win!

Evening everyone, I am in need of your collective expert advise.

Dad has just turned up at my flat, after taking my sister into town. Just before dropping her off they stopped at a well known fast food outlet. Dad has parked up and headed inside with sister and after locating what they thought to be a door, headed towards it. Turns out it wasn't a door, but a window pane, and dad has walked into rather forcefully, causing his glasses to dig into side of eye and cut near his eyebrow. The cut is not huge but it is already starting to swell.
Manageress filled out accident form, but was rather unhelpful towards him. Worse of all is she openly admitted the window panes look so much like the doors this is not the first incident they've had, but I think this is first time it has caused bleeding.
Luckily he's got a reciept from their purchase and sister got contact details of witness, plus photo of window. Also taken photos and will see if the swelling grows by morning.
Issue now is with dad being self employeed, if eye swells up I doubt he'll be able to drive hence no work .
Is there anything I/we can do. Dad mentioned small claims court but neither of us have experience in it.

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hope your Dad is ok now.
As far as the other, your Dad has to decide what he wants out of pursuing the claim. This will help to decide what to do.

If he wants an apology and some gesture of goodwill, then contact the HO of the company. Their website should have the details. If you decide this route then also ask them to put something on the glass so people don't think it's a door and it doesn't happen to anyone else.

If he wants compo then you'll need to take legal advice on this. I'd suggest posting over on the Citizen's advice bureau board here.. You could also take advantage of a local solicitor's free half hour. They would give you an idea of likely outcomes and inform what to do next.

I just remembered I had a T code for £3 off £30, so I went back into my order and added it

TBH I dont think it is worth pursuing. Who is at fault? The owners of the building for having a window not a door, or your Dad for walking into a window? The window is stationary, probably been there for years, whereas you Dad is the moving object, and had he been walking slower or had his arm out would not have been hurt.
What losses does he have? Can he still go to work? Does he need plastic surgery?

Sorry to play devils advocate, but this is what a defending solicitor would do.

I do hope he is alright, maybe the best thing to do is to write a letter to the head office of the restaurant and ask them for something as a goodwill gesture (vouchers etc.) and a request that they do something to stop it happening again.
