Pranky has blogged about it in general terms, but the actual ludicrous letter is spectacular in all its illiterate glory (courtesy of the NoToMob).

    Bringing 'abusers to brook' - chuck 'em in why don't you. :rotfl:

    And there was me thinking these were one of the 'intellectuals' of the parking scene.

    Is it possible for someone to find out if Devere have ever donated a single penny to the Caslepoint Disability Fund?

    I believe they haven't ... Allegedly

    Devere are offered the chance to prove me wrong though

    Well if their grasp of contract law as demonstrated in that letter is anything to go by they are right down there in the remedial class with Trev and Kev.

    If they are donating to a charity, then i would assume that this charity is all above board and proper and as such their accounts should also be available?

    Castlepoint Disability fund isn't a charity and nowhere does it say in the letter that it is.

    Apparently it's a fund for improving facilities for the disabled at Castlepoint. "Directors Slush fund" springs to mind, as does 'handy blackmail tactic'.
