As for all the rest of you that decided to add in chirpy comments - we shall see where I am in ten years and where you currently are. I assert the right to argue my view on a forum without people who are too stupid to argue against me trying to cause commotion. I bet half of you don't even have AS/A-Levels lmao.

Those who wish to be owned some more in true Bugzy style, can PM me and I will be happy to forefront my list of 'pwned' against yours - you will lose trust.

I got 4 A's at A level and studied history at Warwick university, do I class as someone who can argue against you? You are a very cocky young man, you have the right to view your point. But you also have the right to know when to accept not only other peoples opinions but also to accept that in some instances you are wrong. 'I bet half of you don't even have AS/A-Levels lmao' how does that make a difference to the point you are trying to argue? By matter of fact Bugz the argument you are trying to put across is common sense, or is that something that you lack? You should really think about what you say. You are obviously not as smart as you make yourself out to be, considering you pretty much ask half of Freddyshouse to solve your maths questions for you. I would pretty much guarantee that most people here would forefront there lists of 'pwned' against yours, such as raven or tris - and you would lose.

That's childish, even for you bugz...

 

[Tasslehoff]

Bugz, you are a sorry sight to be fucking honest.
So cocky, and what have you achieved? Some fucking A-levels? Big deal, lots of people have, lots of people have got a+, you are not God's gift to human kind, or if you are, show it. Don't tell people that you are.

Why are you so intent on sharing all your achievements on a forum like this? Nobody really cares ...

 

[BloodOmen]

Mmm a fair point although despite whats said that still falls under > False Advertising < laws which indeed is against the law and CAN be reported to Trading Standards


Shops simply cannot stick an item up for £3 then when you get to the counter go "Nahhh we want £5"


thats just like saying "Congratulations! you've just won a sony playstation 3, now pay us £300 for it"

The Data Protection Act you posted conflicts with about 4-5 websites I've looked up on - all of which are consumer-info related and supported/affiliated in some way by governments or what-have-you.

Thus begs the question - what is the stance on this? If the law says something - in practice it's true - but if consumer-related sites are spilling out something completely difference - then I am unsure how to observe this.

I do believe however that there is obviously a very blunt lack of understanding, by everyone, on how such a scenario should be addressed.

.

data protection act? what the hell are you on about? has someone posted that and i didnt see it? because its relevant to nothing.
heres a blindingly obvious tip for you; the law = authority, random websites = oppinnions.

and yes there is a very blunt understanding of it - by you. consumer law is a very specialist area. someone who gets their LLB will know a fuck lot less about it than i will after i finished my degree. sorry, but you wont be learning it any time soon just by googling random shit and reading random books

FYI: i dont have any a levels. but im in the 2nd year of a degree in a subject that many will never fully know. am i still stupid?

what ever websites your looking at bullshit, complete bullshit. only the law is right, anything else is wrong. why is that hard for you to understand?

 

[Billargh]

Bugz, you don't have any A/AS Levels either though, do you?

Little bit harsh mate, you asset your own right to argue your point on a forum without people causing a commotion and then in the next breath condemn everyone else for exercising that same right?

Some comments have been more flamebaiting than others but quite a few of us have just posted thier honest opinions on this matter - not deserving of such a response.

I dont really see the need to tell you what my cv contains, nor am I insecure enough to have to rush to boast about my achievements at the drop of a hat. I seriously doubt many people here really care a less what you think of them. I am however scratching my head wondering what relevence this has to the current topic?

Sorry if this comes across as harsh Bugz, but you've really kinda let yourself down with this comment.

 

[Elkie]

He knows 100% percent he has lost the argument. But he will keep digging up random bull crap to try and prove he is right... Prob way he is. I hope he is not like this in person, otherwise hit attitude to not being able to accept he is wrong or listen to other peoples opinions will get him into trouble.

You wont get shit if you don't listen to those that do actually know something about a particular subject try to teach you....

But gratz on getting a couple of GCSEs i guess

 

[Raven]

Anyway, you are wrong Bugz, no matter how many so called consumer web sites you search on. Trading standards and consumer law by definition is correct, the rest is just someones opinion. Whether its in your opinion unfair to your beloved happy shopper (or wherever the fuck you have a paper round) it is meaningless against the law of the UK.

Unlucky.

That is one of the most retarded things i've seen on here in quite a while. You assert your right? You haven't got any rights of that sort. People will call them as they see them, and if you think people are idiots, it is simply a nice reflection of their view on you.

Calling people stupid is obivously a bad idea with your lacking skills in the discussion department, having to resort to that kind of attack on people.
Sorry to tell you, but various degrees doesn't necessarily denote intelligence, and the lack of any isn't always a sign of stupidity. The guy with the highest IQ in the danish mensa chapter is a postman, why? because he likes it that way. One of the most intelligent men in america is a college dropout working as a bouncer, why? He didn't really like classic academia.

People don't "cause commotion" because they can't effectively argue against you, but most likely because they just don't like you

 

[Iceforge]

I completely dislike the entire idea of argueing for your point by stating a test score, be it school subjects, graduations or IQ tests.

The importance is not in the brilliance of the mind displaying and argueing for a viewpoint, as the relevant and important thing is how well the mind argues for his views, which arguments they display and how sceptical a stance they take to any information they use to document their arguements as valid.

I can't be bothered to search around on webpages to find out UK consumer law; I know the Danish law on the subject, which is enough to get me by, as I usually don't take a ship or plain to UK to do my shopping. I cannot understand why law would not favour the customer over the shopkeeper. I see the fairness in the "right-not-to-sell" policy that some of the previous posters has put forth, where they can choose not to sell an item to a customer at the labelled price, but then they can't sell the item at all for 7 days, but to be honest, I like the danish system better, where they are obligated to sell it to the customer/consumer at any label price they themselves has put forth.

But to judge any information found on the internet as above law, shows a lack of the ability to be critical to the sources of ones knowledge on a given field and can easily lead to wrong knowledge for any person. Information of anything related to subjects as this is best only trusted from government official sites, which often (In DK anyway) has the real law text on display on the webpages if one searches for it. Then you will have a complete up to date knowledge about the subject.

Also, the argument that stores below a certain size doesn't even need labels doesn't help your point, Bugz. That a store doesn't have to give items labels with the price doesn't mean that those who choose to have price-labels can choose not to honour them, as that is 2 completely different things. Very weak point to be making.

Also it is important to know that the law on the subject can seem differently depending on if you view the law for selling or the consumer law. The law for selling will most likely not display any information about such acts as you mention to be illegal, but the consumer law might guarantee the customer the right to buy the product at the label price even if it scans for another price at the tilt.

But as I said, I know neither the UK law for retail/selling nor the consumer law of the UK, only those of DK which is relevant for me.

bugz, shut up, your wrong. as was pointed out many times...

Its pretty well known that you can have a list of qualifications as long as your arm and still be as stupid as the kitchen sink which is why you get so many graduates stacking shelves at Tesco. Qualifications are meaningless without the common sense to survive in the real world.

 

[Coolan]

If bugz is still visiting this topic, best bet speak to you store manager, would imaging they should be able to get the hands on the relevant information, if there not then send em here to get some abuse.

 

[BloodOmen]

I'm still reading this topic over and over and trying to decide how someone can be so blatently stupid lol... sadly I have yet to come to a conclusion about bugz all I could possibly say is this!



1. Spoilt brat thats had everything given to him in life where as others actually put an ounce of effort into life to achieve things.

2. Clearly knows fuck all about english law and thus believes anything people tell him! ultimately making himself look more and more stupid.

3. Hates it when people tell him he's wrong (well guess what bugz? don't post on a PUBLIC forum if you don't like people telling you this, you nob)

4. I can't even comprehend how someone with such arrogance got anywhere in life to be perfectly honest.

Johnny Cochran: Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, Bugz attorney would certainly want you to believe that his client wrote "Customers don't get cheap stuff when I do wrong things" 110 posts ago. And they make a good case. Hell, I almost felt pity myself! But, ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Postman Pat. Postman Pat is a Postman from the village Greendale. But Postman Pat lives with a cat called Jess. Now think about that; that does not make sense!
Gerald: Dammit!
Chef: What?
Gerald: He's using the Postman Pat Defense!
Johnny Cochran: Why would a man, an 8 foot tall man, want to live in a house, with a cat called Jess? That does not make sense! But more importantly, you have to ask yourself, ‘what does that have to do with this case?' Nothing. Ladies and Gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case. It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Postman Pat! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Postman Pat lives with Jess, you must acquit! The defense rests.

Perhaps I was too ignorant in my assertion to not accept that different sites say different things. I do believe however that there is obviously a very blunt lack of understanding, by everyone, on how such a scenario should be addressed.

There's a very easy understanding of how such a scenario should be addressed. You don't need 12 law degrees to understand it either. It's called customer service and ensures that people actually return to the shop next time they want to purchase something. You failed quite spectacularly at this however.

As for all the rest of you that decided to add in chirpy comments - we shall see where I am in ten years and where you currently are. I assert the right to argue my view on a forum without people who are too stupid to argue against me trying to cause commotion. I bet half of you don't even have AS/A-Levels lmao.

Maybe you could refresh my memory of what your degree is in?
Oh wait, you haven't actually got one have you. In fact your failing so pathetically at your pre-school that you have to ask people on here to do your home work once a month.

In fact i'm really not able to take abuse on my qualifications from someone currently working on a super market checkout. Not that there's anything wrong with that career choice. I'm sure you'll be assistant manager in no time with your obviously stella attitude to quality customer service mate and we'll all be crying in 10 years that we didn't manage to aspire to your dizzing heights.
