    When we moved to our current house, the seller asked if we wanted her to leave the curtains. We said yes, even though we didn't like them and had no intention of keeping them for long, because when you move you don't want to have to be putting up curtains when you have hundreds of boxes to deal with. She left the curtains, tidily folded on the banister, having removed all the curtain hooks.

    oh dear:rotfl:.

    Just goes to show that commonsense flies out of the window with some people - ie she should have realised you meant "Yes - of course leave them - hanging up at the windows". Duh!

    Though she may not have been able to resist deliberately misinterpreting - in order to keep a few pennies worth of curtain hooks...

    Without prejudice not to avoid admission but to hide the amount offered.

    £50 was an example.

    Most people have no idea what 'without prejudice' means and how to use it.

    If you think that that what you intend to write may have costly consequences: Don't write anything and ask a solicitor to handle correspondence.

    Settlement offers can't be used as evidence in court regardless of whether they are marked 'without prejudice' or not.

    It doesn't really matter what the heading says. The heading is just a label, it doesn't affect treatment of the contents.

    That's not true. Hence my previous post...
