Unbelievable Boris

The man does not know whether we sell pork pies to the icelanders, but he tells porky pies and now he has gone to the Queen who infuriatingly does not even seem to have at least suggested that parliament be closed for a couple of days rather than weeks. This is the greatest constitutional crisis since 1936 - and Queenie has caved in.   Parliament should have been recalled rather than suspended.  And these bloody elites have the audacity to say this is reclaiming democracy. So angry. Well done everyone who has already taken to the streets.  

Not currying favour

If my two old ancient computers had not failed me today, I might almost have been willing to laugh in disbelief at Curry's complete disregard for politeness, efficiency, care and service. However, I urgently need my computer but having tried 4 times to schedule its arrival Curry's seem to work on the premise - one shared by the property ombudsman, who failed to uphold a valid complaint about W H Brown for their scurrilous behaviour -  what are you complaining about you once had a computer it once worked and now it does not and so what if computers are supposed to last for a few years rather than a few weeks and so what if we are supposed to give you proper advice - bullocks to you all.  You keep coming back, you keep buying, you keep complaining but us at Curry's do not care.


Honestly all the reviews of the company are staggeringly bad, but then when reviewers talk about taking Curry's to the Small Claims Court they are rubbished by the other people for somehow daring to complain.   I struggle with the illogicalities of life. There are rules and Curry's flout everyone of them but there is n't a decent way to get redress and those who think of it are rubbished by their peers.     Once upon a time as a GLC information officer, I used to write to people like Curry's and get the victims their money back, but my efforts on my own behalf just end up on facebook and here as grumbles at the inefficiencies of life.      Not sure what to do anymore as they have my computer and they are ignorring me and my consumer rights but I need the computer for work, and need it urgently.  

Unbelieveable part two CPS. Without prejudice!

Incandescent with rage.

Some of you will know that during a very difficult personal time, I was offered a new job and a business opportunity with someone I believed to have my best interests at heart. I put money into the business he set up to buy a property and then he pulled out of the purchase and i found out that the money I had put into the business account had been removed by him. He acknowledged to the police that he had the money and said he was keeping it to take me to court for libel. Action Fraud refused to take up the case on the basis that the man would not be traceable, but that was nonsense - his nephews are regularly on TV, so he could be traced through them Luckily the police took up the case, however, despite the numerous lies and the grooming, they felt he had been so clever with stitching me up that they felt proving intent, which is what is required for fraud, would be too difficult, so they agreed to prosecute him for theft. It seemed like an open and shut case. He was never given the money, it went into what was believed to be a business account and he used it for purposes other than those for which it was put into the bank account. but guess what according to the Crown Prosecution Service, that does not constitute theft. Cannot even begin to express how furious I am, The police have used words like grooming with me, they say now he could have been prosecuted from coercive control, but I cannot even get the powers that be to charge him for theft despite him acknowledging he has my money!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would of course have taken him to court myself, but guess what this man gave me a false address.  B. B is just laughing - no wonder he seems to feel the law cannot touch him, if the powers that be say that taking someone's money is not theft.   I appreciate that this is all part of process and I am learning a lot more about process as a result of this, but many citizens - myself included, work on the basis, that you report a crime, it is investigated and then the case is prosecuted, now I discover all this unexpected twists and turns.   I cannot take the man to court as he gave me a false address,  but without taking him to court and showing he has not returned the money CPS say at present then there is not sufficient evidence of him dishonestly taking the money from me that they cannot pursue him for theft.   So catch 22.  There is a review process, so I will try and await the outcome of that calmly but again weirdly they do not ask why you disagree with their decision so whilst I have said that some of the decision making seems to be based on incorrect information I have no guarantee that that will be factored in. 

Unbelievable

Greatest five minutes of live sport on TV - the Cricket World Cup final playing out  on Channel four or five at the same time as Djokovic and Federer battle to the last tiebreaker of the last set of the Wimbledon final.  Unbelieveable as England batsman accidentally knocks ball to the boundary causing the last final super over.

A nice break from the unbelievable and depressing news that Boris has gained power at number 10.

Unbelievable, new computer already broken, but Curry's decision to repair it a complete nightmare as they fail to deliver it back to me, answer phones, or do anything correct and work so much harder without a properly working computer.

Unbelievable - having arranged a last minute dash to Portugal to see Om and see if we can at last find somewhere to live there before Brexit and he completely forgets about it and organises to go to Croatia for a wedding instead, Meanwhile Ryanair strikes threaten all holidays so may not even be able to get there, but count down over the cliff edge cranking up several notches now Boris in.

Believable climate change - which puts all other problems into perspective!.
