« on: 22 February 2017, 18:12:19 »Even if legal tender, any retail establishment has the right to refuse to take money.
You'll find many outlets won't accept Scottish notes, or £50 notes. That is their right.
Wouldn't happen to know where that's written in law would ya? I always thought that it was the consumers responsibility to offer payment for goods rather than ensure payment was taken. Eg: I offered you legal tender, a £50 note, if you don't want to accept it I will still be leaving the shop with the goods. Your choice. no?
From the Bank of England website F.A.Q.
Does legal tender status matter for everyday transactions?
No. Whether you pay with banknotes, coins, debit cards or anything else as payment is a decision between you and the other person involved in the transaction.
In addition, shops are not obliged to accept legal tender. If you hand over a £50 note to pay for a banana in your local grocery store, the staff are within their rights to choose not to accept it. Likewise for all other banknotes – it’s a matter of discretion.

Only Bank of England notes and Royal Mint coins are legal tender.
It has a very narrow and technical meaning.

They can be redeemed at the Bank of England at any time in the future. The Bank of England will honour all bank notes it has issued at face value for all time.

Ask if they will take a paper twenty pound note, when they undoubtedly say yes, tell them to Foxtrot Oscar and take your business elsewhere

General Car Chat / Re: One for the BMW haters- fill yer boots!
« on: 19 February 2017, 15:32:18 »I thought I would resurrect this for a bit of an update. I've been giving the finance company weekly hurry-ups to see where they're at. The latest being today. Apparently they have replaced the battery, put 500miles on the car and nothing has re-appeared. However there is still an open escalation case (PUMA case they call it) with BMW UK, which doesn't seem to add up.
What I suspect they're doing is slow playing me to try and get me to accept a replacement rather than a refund (they asked again about this and emphasised that it could be done quickly if I wanted it).
Shame that they don't know about the mighty Desmond
Say sure, if they do a replacement M1 or M2?
For the same monies of course!
This one is an ugly little runt.
Not at all old boy
