Just bought an electric toothbrush from Boots. Opened box to find I couldn't plug it in as the 2 pin plug narrower than opening on a 3 pin socket. Called them up and they say I have to buy an adaptor. Looked on the Internet and find that retailers must supply appliances with a 3 pin fused plug...

Not true... EU legislation allows for all car warranties to be valid once cars are serviced according to manufacturers guidelines using genuine car parts or spurious parts that conform to part specifications. Particular care must be taken for example with engine oil e.g. Mazda diesels which use...

Open to correction but from where I see it there are two aspects to this purchase. First off a shop advertising a price is called "an invitation to treat" in contract law. The fact that they have incorrectly priced the item doesn't mean that you are entitled to purchase the item at the...

I booked 5 return flights with Ryanair last year to Spain from Knock. 3 of our party could not travel on the day so I booked 3 singles from Dublin to Spain for 2 days later. As Knock is so small a Ryanair staff member found me in the waiting area and asked me whether or not the 3 other...

Hi, I'm arriving in Charleroi at 9.30 at night with young family. Has anyone any suggestions of a nice town to stay in nearby. I'll have a car. Many thanks

Yes it does look like a good job with the hidden fixings. I have a composite deck from fibreon and there is a grain in the board which gives the board a sort of texture. Water doesn't pond on them and they are not laid to fall and the gap between boards is half of what you have at 5 ml. The...

Home owners can easily become sidetracked on revenues valuation of their property and overlook the rate being applied and what might happen in the future. For example lets say there are 1,000,000 homes that are liable for the tax. If government set a target of € 130 m in tax and the present...

Just saw it now. It's better than revenues IMO in that it gets a little closer to trying to differentiate property values by asking for number of beds, bathrooms and whether it has a garden or not

I heard from Viking below. To be honest I didn't expect that they would honour it and my ccard doesn't show the transaction but they do say below that they will be refunding the card. I suppose the fact that they took the payment seems to negate any argument of 'an invitation to treat' and in my...

Has anyone ordered this. I just did and the order confirmation just came through. It worked out at €14 incl vat and delivery

It's a fridge. Cost 1200e new.

Hi, I've had a home appliance repaired 4 times in the past 2 months. The appliance had a 2 yr warranty that was upgraded to 5 yrs by the manufacturer owing to a design fault which the manufacturer owned up to on BBC Watchdog. the appliance was recalled. Mine broke down. It's now 4 years old. The...

Re: Cashing check with two names on it. a paltry sum actually. Naturally I told my wife and as the issuer was my father I also told him I was doing likewise.

If you don't clear the whole balance each month you are charged interest on the full amount in the statement - not the amount outstanding. That applies to most if not all CC issuers afaik. I assume that the guy you were talking to works for MBNA. I would find out if you are being charged...

I have been a customer also for 12 years. I've had 3 issues with late payments due to my own failure to pay on time. The payment was just a day or 2 late on each occasion. The hit me with a late payment charge. I complained and each time customer service refunded the charge. Be midful that if...

Re: Cashing check with two names on it. Make it out to one person only. I got a cheque/check made out to me and my wife recently. Bank refused to accept as it was crossed and we don't have a joint account. So I crossed off her name and initialled the change with the account holder's initials...

You can drive from Miami to Orlando on the Florida Turnpike (toll road) inabout 4 hours as I recall. Travelling up the Atlantic coast is obviously much more of a scenic drive on I95, Route 1 or Route 1A. Mind you, I wouldn't spend 7/9 days on this drive - more like 2/3 days at most. Much more...

Try http://www.oodlesofpartsplus.com/gaslift_removal.htm but at €50 I'd buy a new chair - are those things safe to remove?

Your solicitor is advising you that the building is planning compliant and that there is nothing legallly hindering the sale. The fact that the extension was pre 1989 is important because if the extension was not planning compliant you may well have a future purchaser's solicitor spotting the...

I would look at it as being front ended. It would be difficult to prove if there were no witnesses and both insurance companies might decide to settle the costs between them in which case you both could lose your NCBonus. Can't see how it would end up in court. From my experience Gardai might...
