PostHeaderIcon Just how stupid does Dave "millionaire" Cameron think we are ?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1374690/David-Cameron-whisks-away-wife-Samantha-Ryanair-birthday.html

OOOOH… a " low budget" holiday to Malaga.

Photos of Dave ´n´Sam waiting for the flight amongst the plebs at Stansted airport….but where are the plebs? They have a whole row of seats for themselves…couldn´t POSSIBLY be a staged photo, along with the other shots of Dave taking cash out of an ATM and the really normal, not rich at all , couple strolling thorugh the national park.

How gullible does he think we are?

NO PRIME MINISTER in Europe travels ANYWHERE without bodyguards.
All of these photos are staged and his "cheap holiday" is just a publicity stunt.

Are you taken in by this man????????????

Is anyone else hoping that some guys have fitted a card skimmer to that ATM. I can’t be alone can I.

PostHeaderIcon So what happened to the "enabling works" for Stanley Park by Liverpool?

http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-news/regional-news/2008/08/30/stanley-park-lease-fear-for-liverpool-fc-64375-21636849/

Is it nothing but lip service by its American owners?

ask this question when you know what enabling work means. The enabling works are just to make sure the area is suitable

PostHeaderIcon Can anyone recommend a cheap/safe car park near Heathrow Airport, will need to leave the car for 10 days?


Check the hotels around the area for "park & fly" deals. There’s a Holiday Inn just outside Heathrow that charges a tenner a night for up to a fortnight if you spend one night as a guest or £12.00 a night if you don’t spend a night with them. The car park is well lighted and has security patrols. Safe journey!

PostHeaderIcon Are the police and courts allowed to do this?

Do what? Continue sending mail to my mother’s house in the UK when I’ve been telling them I’m in Norway for 6 months?

My residence status is unclear. The Norwegians say I’m not a Norwegian citizen or resident but take my tax and social security contributions. I only work in Norway. I’m British and visit the UK enough for the Norwegian state to say I don’t NEED a residence permit since I’m an EU citizen and return to the UK "regularly". I spent 15 days in the UK in 2008 spread over 4 visits. Until 2007, I would work on some foreign registered boats that sailed to the UK. This futher muddled exactly where I lived though I haven’t work in the UK since I did 1 month there in 1999. I have a house and a son in Norway, no house in the UK. Never HAVE had a house in the UK.

I have been applying for work unsuccessfully in the UK ever since I left it which is another reason for me wanting to keep in place everything I would need in the UK if I was able to return there to work.

I keep a UK driving licence since it’s unclear if I would have problems driving in the UK with a foreign registered car and driving licence being British with no proof of being a Norwegian resident.

In 2008, I rented a car at Stansted airport and was photographed doing 66mph in a temporary 50mph limit on the A1 at 0426 hrs.

The police in the UK misspelled my middle name and surname then switched their places on some letters and did similar things on others. These letters were sent to my Mum’s address in the UK. She forwarded them to me in Norway and they never arrived. Because of that, the case has gone to court.

After 6 months of the police having my email address, phone number and address in Norway, they are still prosecuting this case by mailing letters to my mother in the UK. It makes it impossible for me to handle my side of the case and my Mum is scared to go away in case she misses mail she should forward for me and, as far as I’m concerned, it’s not her problem.

I’ve removed myself from the electoral roll in the UK on Feb 5th and I’m trying to sever contact with the UK as much as I can. The police headquaters switchboard is often answered by an answerphone. If you leave a message, they don’t get back to you. The court is now pretty much the same. The last mail forwarded to me in Norway from the UK took 16 days to arrive. You can’t contact Royal mail to find out why it took so long.

I’d re-direct my mail using the royal mail’s services but don’t know, since it’s notoriously terrible, if I’ll then be accused of dodging mail but if my Mum is ill or goes away, how will I get my mail anyway? I want my Mum to be free from worry over this but doubt I’ll get mail re-directed to me using the royal mails service and I can be quite sure my mum’s mail will be affected too.

The documents issued by the courts are impossible for someone who lives outside of the UK to complete.

I don’t want my Mum to meet any people like the bailiff mentioned in the article at the end of the link below because the UK state refuses to accept I do not live and work in the UK and refuse to contact me where I actually am. I think 6 months is long enough for them to work out I do "probably, by most definitions", live in Norway.

The UK state seems to be turning into a junk mail scamming operation where they send out fixed notices for dropping litter, speeding, parking illegally and it’s impossible to contact them if there’s something they should fix.

If I returned to the UK and obeyed every law, I’d be unemployable. maybe I should just give up, come back to the UK and be unemployed.

Dear "ordinary".

I feel better thanks to your reply. I do TRY and communicate but as much as they can and in writing. I’ve found some court staff brilliant but some advice from the police would have actually got me arrested in Norway. THANK YOU. It’s generous of you to spend your time on this but I really feel very strongly it’s about time the British people said enough is enough and had their revolution. I’m amazed at how much they’ll put up with when I can’t see why they should. Norway is FANTASTIC and I want the same for the British.
in reply to "chappers".

I’d become Norwegian if I could but they’ve tightened up a lot and, much like the UK, you don’t get answers to letters, emails. I’m also travelling contanstly away from my home so I’m not where I "live" to attend to getting into the system more. On top of that, I work in an industry that has it’s own tax scheme designed for foreigners. It’s a pain and saps your enthusiasm for anything. The EU laws have made it easy for the Norwegians to just say "I’m British, work in Norway and happen to own a house and have a son here but I’m not Norwegian".
and Bear’s reply seems to tell us everything we need to know about UK cops. No interest in how I’m supposed to administer a case when post related to it is being sent to a nation where I am not. Bear obviously thinks me being in the UK for 15 days over 4 visits in 2008 makes a British resident. I think we should be very afraid.

Government agencies are obliged to use every reasonable means to contact you. The laws of the UK are founded on the ideas of fairness, with phrases like "every reasonable means", "reasonable effort", "fair use", etc. scattered all through legal documents.

The good news for you is the concept of "reasonable" and "fairness." Is it reasonable for them to harass your Mom? Is that fair? No!

Your best weapon in this fight is communication, communication, communication. All of it IN WRITING. The more letters you sent, the worse they look. (Telephone conversations are not worth the paper they are written on — it is too easy for the guilty party (govt employee) to say that they never happened.)

Because they are government employees (having a degree of power over other citizens), and because most humans are essentially lazy, it sometimes happens that government employees will behave arrogantly and despicably. This is a good thing for you — if you go to court show the judge all the letters you wrote, in which you expressed your full desire to comply and to pay any and all obligations — if only they will get the documentation to you. In your letters, you can provide an address in Norway, that will be fine. That is where you live and you have tons of documentation to prove it. Now, it becomes their responsibility to prove why it is unreasonable for them to contact you there. What, does the Royal Mail no longer travel to Norway???

Your mother should write "Not At This Address" on the letters and put them back into the postbox. No need for a stamp, the Royal Mail could not deliver them (to you) so they must be returned to sender. By law, if they cannot be delivered to the addressee, they must be returned to the sender. For your mother to keep the letters or to attempt delivery of the letters on her own is actually a crime (although it would never, ever be treated as such.) The Royal Mail has a written set of rules that govern how it works — it is obliged by law to follow those rules to the letter. Because lazy humans work there, things often get sloppy… but when a case goes to court, the judge looks at the written rules. Did the government agency send the papers to your address? No! They sent them to your mother. Is there a law that says that you must ensure that the government has your correct mailing address? Probably yes — that is usually a condition of having a driver’s license. So, you must comply with that by writing to them and telling them that you have moved and your mailing address is: etc.

If the problem continues, your mother can actually contact the police and claim harassment by these agencies. She is not you — she has nothing to do with the entity called "you." She should not be deemed guilty by association. What if you and she were having a long-standing fight and hadn’t spoken in years? They have no right to harass your Mom to get to YOU. Therefore, this is a simple case of harassment and she can turn to the police for protection and remedy. Again, she should write a letter (or you can write the letter AS her) to the sender explaining that she is not you and she does not know where you are or how to contact you, so please stop pestering her. Be polite and nice, but firm.

Just because someone works for the government doesn’t mean that they are allowed to break the country’s laws — even in the name of the Queen.

Good luck!

PostHeaderIcon Travelling to London Heathrow airport next Thursday from Birmingham traveling times please?

Taking my son to Catch a flight to the USA next week from Heathrow airport (10.05am flight) next Thursday from the Birmingham area.

Need to get there a few hours before flight, how much travelling time would you sensibly allow and also finding parking spaces

Never been to Heathrow before, what will be the worst road congestion areas.

If you travel to Heathrow from B’ham on a regular basis any goods times to give me please.
Spelling error, meant any good "tips" to give me

I am a UK Travel Agent working for Co-op Travel

First, I hope you are not going to just "find a parking space" - you must pre-book if you don’t want to get fleeced. You don’t say how long you are going for, but if it is 14 days then the best parking price is £73.

You should aim to arrive at the airport around 07:00. If you are using one of the budget parks, then you must allow for being shuttled to your terminal. Frankly, I would leave B’ham at 4 am.

However, it you want a more relaxing start to your holiday, I would strongly suggest coming down the night before - you never know when an accident might block the motorway then you are in trouble. I can arrange a luxury 4 star Heathrow hotel, and 14 nights parking, for £119.

Give me a call on 02392 511568 if you are interested.
