    Hermes, DHL, Royal Mail, DPD

    Hermes, DHL, Royal Mail, DPD – all visiting our little road variously every day, all coming from their different depots from all points of the compass. This makes sense how?

    yes, an anti-Brexit post – but not about the ideology or big picture stuff, but on changes to the lived experience for ordinary people doing ordinary things, which be will presumably be worse – eg slower, dearer, inconsistent and more complex  from next year. 

    Goods arrived today. Plan is to convert my wife bike to flat bars.

    Here’s the pic. no, me neither, but it does sound like the parcel made good progress towards my door. Presumably we’re in the last few weeks of having ready access to this kind of efficiency, range and prices?

    We’ve been countering on here

    We’ve been chuntering on here about Rose bikes stopping deliveries to the UK – sign of things to come, perhaps? 

    Can’t  apologise enough for our current round of stuipidity – we’re going to make Kent, the closest county to France, permit only for lorries – it’s all in a good cause, a brighter future, towards completing our EU Exit in the middle of a pandemic in the depths of winter.  What could possibly go wrong??

    Bought as in ordered, or has actually been delivered?  That’s one thing that has changed since last year. 

    Hope everything fits!

    If the evidence is clear, and

    If the evidence is clear, and your driver has a conscience then it would be nice to think that they would admit liability and settle with you quickly.  

    You may find you have “legal protection” on house or car insurance. I initiated things that way – all it is is a triage line, not worth paying anything to have, but that’s another story.

    Don’t expect much (anything) from the Police beyond an incident number.  

    Don’t approach the other party direct and refer any approach to you they may make to an advisor.

    You may find they want to contest the claim/ what happened, so the legal advice and recorded witness evidence is vital.

    I hope you don’t have someone as I did, who while they might have been terribly sorry/upset at the scene but were merrily down to the police station to tell them a pack of lies about what happened.  I had to keep my smashed-up Tourmalet for weeks in case it was required in evidence, I.e as further evidence of a side impact. Thank goodness for my witness!

    There’s a whole world of private GPs and accident claims specialists out there  – are you sure you weren’t injured?  Better of course if the bike bore the brunt of it.  

    Don’t forget that the No Win No Fee arrangement works on the basis of the loser paying the winner’s costs – that’s how they (hope to) make their money, so my experience is different to that of Munge.  

    I successfully claimed for broken bike, sprained ankle, costs of medical assessment and a course of physio. I “won”, but after several months of back and forth, a horrid wrangle about money, but I’d give it all back to have seen some criminal action taken against that liar – it leaves a nasty taste 13 years later.

    I liked the contrast between the rather hum-drum backland location and the “exotic” car – one of the commenters on the article has it right – where are you going to go on the IoW?
