Thank You SL

Melita and Brenda. You both misunderstood Jojo's post. She actually said with the neighbour's permission, so theft didn't come into the example. The example as I read it was like this...

I have a computer but no internet connection. The neighbor has an internet connection and his computer uses wireless, so there's a hotspot there. My computer has wireless capability built-in, and the neighbour gives me permission to make use of his hotspot. Some time later his internet connection goes down and, being a paying customer, he can call the ISP and expect them to deal with him, and sort it out. Unfortunately, he's out of town for a while and I'm stuck without an internet connection. But I'm not a customer of the ISP and I can't get any help froim them. I can no longer get on the internet but I have no justifiable grounds for complaint against the ISP, or against my neighbour.

That's pretty much the example that Jojo gave as I understood it.

A variation would be that some time after my neighbour allowed me to use his hotspot, he decided to secure it and I could no longer get on the internet. I have no justifiable grounds for complaint against him.

Out of all the replies I made in my last post to you, this is the best you can do. It's sad Debra

Normally, yes, but it's possible to strip off in SL, leaving precious little in the way of prims. In that state, you'd make a good wen...er...bench.

I deprim for no one! *shakes fist*

That's why I don't go to Hair Fair or any of those other events here the prim Nazis stand at the door and kvetch over your ARC, which I don't even have in my viewer, and demand you become some anorexic, bald entity. No one takes my Dolly Dress up away from me!
*shakes both fists*

How's that anger workin' for you lately?

My advice: drop SL, get some therapy, and please don't carry a loaded gun.

Fight the power!

Maybe hook up with the "I've come back to SL three times" guy.

I missed him. Was he a piece of work too?

Gotta love the crazies. Without them life would be just too normal.

Well, that's tough, cos no shop - in the UK - is obliged to sell anything at all, to anyone at all. In fact a price ticket is known in British law as 'an offer to treat' which means that you can offer to pay that amount, ot indeed any other amount you like. It is the legal right of the shopkeeper to accept or refuse that offer. So, if you are amazingly youthful in appearance, as I myself am sufficiently fortunate to be! you should have some ID handy if you plan on getting a nice Rioja from Morrisons, or any other supermarket.

Actually, we'd rather go to the new wine shop in Truro. It's run by the nicest people - no lizards - and they do a fair few tasting evenings too. If you should find yourselves in Cornwall I thoroughly recommend it.

Mwah

That's what they would say, isn't it? And who's the largest landowner in Cornwall?

Case proven, to my mind.

BTW, A man in a pub was telling me that his brother-in-law knows someone who works at the Palace who swears Diana's death was no accident -- seems she and Dodi were murdered because he was about to spill the beans on how she'd undergone secret alien surgery and genetic modification so as to be able to give birth to lizard creatures.....

I think you're totally wrong with attempting this hook-up. Debra would eat him alive.

Maybe SHE is the alien lizard, and is trying to shift the light of suspicion from herself.

Speaking of Alien Lizards, ABC is remaking "V". The question is, why?

Yes, good points, I can believe all that - oh sorry, I have to go make David's tea and put out the new lizard traps and check that our bus is still parked at the North Pole and call Elvis to remind him he's taking Marilyn to her doctor's appointment.

Out of all the replies I made to you, this is the best you can do. It's sad, Debra. However, it was expected. You lost the argument and therefore had to resort to personal insults to save face.

Now then.... Me, Phil, and Brenda together. This has possibilities! I got dibs on Brenda!

Debra's a lizard-person???

More blah blah blah Phil. You only have one point and it was buried long ago.

And that coming from the land of the prozac users. Nice try. Hope you are not working for the pharmaceutical companies and inventing another mental condition.

Well thanks for being another one that distorts what I post. I have made it clear in my posts that what I am talking about is the fact that 6 months after the supermarkets were told to ask for ID from anyone that looked 21 or younger Morrisons went to the government and demanded that it be raised to 25 so forcing all the other supermarkets to do the same; clearly showing that a company dictates how it will be.

Also, the law does not allow shops to just have any price they like. For example, they are not allowed to raise a price once a lower price has been displayed for goods already in stock and on display until new goods arrive and are put on display and the previous lot have been sold.

Well here we are again with you hoping no one reads what I have posted previously before they get to your one. That is how you lot operate isn't it. Distort what has been written, write things that make me look like an idiot even if its not true. Make me out to be things I am not. Just because you do not have the intellect to argue against the facts I have presented here and when answering what you post. I have consistently shown you to be wrong in what you present and you do not like it. And the best you can do is to insinuate that I am using alts in this thread and having your sidekicks insinuating that I believe and promote that David Icke is correct about the lizard people he writes about. You really are a shallow person; unfortunately, all forums are full of people like you.

Oh priceless!!! pun intended. You're telling me about the Sale of Goods Act 1968. That's a hoot. And still, my reply was entirely appropriate. Morrison's decision to require ID for customers who appear under 25 does NOT 'force' or 'dictate' to other companies. They were within their rights to petition parliament for a change in the law. We all have that right. We can all make representation to our MP or directly to the government. It's then up to said government to decide what to do. And even if you get carded for 'looking under 25' you still only need to be 18 to be sold the drink. And that's been the law for a while.

Concerning your other point, you are not fully informed. A store can only show a 'reduced from' price if the goods have been sold during the previous 28 days and they must display a sign to that effect. Still, they DO NOT 'have' to sell anything at all, at any price. If you walk into a shop and ask to buy something for the full price displayed the shopkeeper has the RIGHT in law to say no, I don't want to sell it to you. And they can put prices up too if they want to.

Where's that? In the UK, the price displayed on the shelf is an indication of what the shopkeeper is prepared to accept for the product. It's not binding. There's regulations about misleading people by saying something's a reduction on the normal price when it isn't, but there's nothing -- of which I'm aware, anyway -- to stop the shopkeeper changing the price tag three times in a day and then charging a fourth price at the till, if that's what he feels like doing.

That.

Oops.. posted my message, saw PixiePlumb had said the same, and deleted mine.. then saw a comment on it.. sorry..

No worries - I thought you put it rather well! When I worked at Harrods ( all lizards, I'm sure ) the sale of goods act was required reading! As was never using the word sorry when speaking to customers. LOL
