    The never ending court story

    In terms of the cost of defending potential legal actions, whether Wasps offer a deal to CCFC or not is academic. SISU could pursue an action regardless of the club's location or remt costs. I get that Wasps wouldn't want to be blamed for the club leaving the town again; the fact that the spin...

    The Guardian Coventry City Face Homeless future after Sisu's litigious aggression

    I quite like Conn, but the fact that he ignores the fact that the deal offered to Wasps was never offered to the club, and that he never mentions that Wasps uprooted themselves over 80 miles to move here makes this rather one-eyed. I bet he wouldn't be behind a football club doing the same, but...

    Tile Hill Double Murder

    I grew up in Tile HIll, and I lived in Spon End. I know which of the two I'd prefer. Jardine Crescent isn't posh, but I still walk down to those shops every week or two and I've never felt threatened by the locals. There's the odd scrote everywhere in this town, but if you take people as you...

    Lets sign Usain Bolt

    See, I used to think that - I'm sure I could beat Farah over twenty yards. The truth is though that he's bloody fast - 5k in 13 minutes is pretty much spriniting all the way for normal humans! There's a good BBC video here that convinced me...

    Car with Caravan the wrong way down the motorway

    Had it happen once to me on the A45 up by the old transport cafe past the Fosse Way roundabout. Someone had lost their bearings and turned right out of the cafe and was going the wrong way down the dual carriageway just as I came flying off the roundabout. No harm actually done, but I'd guess...

    The boat/James

    Sorry. completely missed that. As a private individual just organising bookings I'm not sure he'd have to have public liability would he? The coach company certainly would be obliged though, I'm sure.

    The boat/James

    I see what you're saying but a lot of companies don't have that facility - especially ones that are mainly business to business. Funnily enough I prefer not to pay things via a website, especially to small businesses whom I don't always trust to have adequate levels of security. If I could...

    The boat/James

    Tricky one that. If you paid me for a seat, and I'd booked but didn't pay the coach firm, I don't think the coach firm is under any obligation to refund you directly or provide you with the service. There's obviously an element of trust here, and in fairness to James he seems to have run a lot...

    The boat/James

    Absolutely, and in fairness mate I'd totally agree that in any other circumstance you and d&c are spot on in that the company shouldn't be giving out the info to a third-party without permission. But I think because it's been self-published this would be a hard one to get a judgement on. I'm...

    The boat/James

    The first thing is that James made it public himself (possibly with incorrect figures). I think that negates any breach under GDPR - the information had been made publicly available by the person involved. If I'd written to the boat company and said something along the lines of, I booked a...

    Via the accounts would be the usual way. The taxman doesn't generally pop around to count the cash or look at the cheques himself. ;) Plenty of businesses use direct bank transfers to accept payments. fwiw.

    The boat/James

    That's fair enough d&c, it's certainly the grown-up approach. Fwiw though this is related to what I do for a living and I think I've got a reasonable handle on it. Regardless, the bigger issue is the bloke being hounded and threatened on hearsay and what-ifs. Like you, I'm not comfortable with...

    The boat/James

    Politely, I think you're wrong on the DPA bit. This isn't personal information; it's not his card balance, his address, date of birth, or anything else that could be classed as personal in that sense; it's specific information about a commercial transaction which has already been offered...

    The boat/James

    Are people really dumb enough to threaten violence against the bloke on a public forum, based on what can only be an incomplete knowledge of the facts - that's ridiculous to my mind. If there's an allegation of a genuine fraud here then the proper place to resolve it is in the courts. If it's...

    Sunderland criminal lawyer :-)

    Even then though, can't see how it would be a criminal matter unless the wearer was asked to leave or cover it up and refused to. Akin to the 'wearing a loud shirt in a built up area' offence, funny, but not strictly true.
