  Mobile phone in school

Hi
Someone at my daughters school had his mobile confiscated. Because of the
content some parents were called in.
The question is, ok so they have the right to confiscate but are the
teachers allowed to go through the phones content?
Cheers BB

  Car Deposit

Hello,

Last Tuesday I agreed to purchase a car and put down a £500 deposit. I told
the salesman that because the car was not available to test drive (boxed in)
the sale would be subject to a positive inspection by the RAC. The salesman
verbally agreed to this. I gave £500 by Switch card and received and signed
their paperwork. The paperwork does not state the deposit is non refundable.

The RAC inspection advised the car was below average condition for its age
and mileage and the inspector gave a verbal estimate of £500 for the
mechanical work and possibly double that for the paintwork. The report also
states the car has been in an accident and badly repaired. I informed the
salesman that due to the car not being in a satisfactory condition the sale
will not go ahead.

  Debts, terminally ill - bailiffs?         


Author: Dribbler
Date: Jul 7, 2008 08:10

A friend ('John') is terminally ill with high grade inoperable brain tumors.
He has been given weeks, maybe months to live and is mentally incompetent.
Recently admitted to hospital, we find that he owes around £800 to
catalogues and they have not been paid for some months due to John being non
compos mentis.
John rents a council house, has no savings and hardly anything of value in
his house (a TV, a cooker, an old armchair and a bed).
John will be released from hospital directly into full time care when it can
be arranged (could take weeks).
In the meantime, his family are extremely concerned that bailiffs will
forcibly enter his home and take the few odd scraps that he owns (they live
300 miles away).
Today John received a letter with £2000 payment for backdated benefit
payments. My advice to the family was to speak to the catalogue company,
explain the situation and do not settle the debt with this money.
I feel that the debt will not be pursued knowing the circumstances. The
£2000 should be used as intended to somehow improve the quality of the short
time John has left. Johns family are disabled and on benefits themselves,
this money could also go towards Johns funeral.
Can I please have your thoughts/opinions? ...

When not on a roundabout, (to me illogically) the left hand lane is the
inside lane and the right most lane is the outside lane. So would it not
make sense for that same definition to hold on a roundabout? ie that if
you are travelling in the left hand lane, enter a roundabout, leave at
the first exit in the left hand lane of the exit road then you have
remained in the inside lane throughout not suddenly changed to being in
the outside lane while traversing the roundabout.

Yes.
