Stavros Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 Taken from: http://www.gov.im/oft/tradingstandards/misleadingads.xml It is also worth pointing out that even if a business misdescribes the price at which goods or services are available for sale, they are under no obligation to supply you with those goods or services at the advertised price. The 1991 Act provides a further means of addressing the issue of misleading advertisements, which although they may not be false (in the criminal sense) could mislead any person or damage a competitor. The Office of Fair Trading encourages self regulatory systems (such as the Advertising Standards Authority) to deal with complaints of this nature but where such systems fail to resolve the issue the Office is provided with additional powers. Where the Office considers that any advertisement is misleading and that it is in the public interest to prevent the continued display or publication of the advertisement, it may apply to the High Court for an injunction.

Dave the Cardboard Box Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 I was in Paisley a while back and I bought this bottle of pop, and inside I found a snail.... Any ideas Stavros/Observer?
Observer Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 You could do the same thing as a certain Mrs Donoghue and sue the manufacturer rather than the vendor. What a stroke of luck that there is already a virtually identical precedent to follow eh?
zephyr Posted July 2, 2004 Author Posted July 2, 2004 I was in Paisley a while back and I bought this bottle of pop, and inside I found a snail. Don't wear paisley, it's out of fashion and kids will take the xxxx
Dave the Cardboard Box Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 But I think Mr. Stevenson may fight his corner quite vigorously. Anything for publicity. He wants his name to live on in history.
Dave the Cardboard Box Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 No-one gave a second thought to the snail, and what he went through. Created one of the most influential judgements of all time. and only a mere postscript in history. Does anyone want to know that happened to him in the end? Or do you do want to talk about the silly phase you're going through?
Observer Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 The snail apparently rotted (at least in part) and gave Mrs D gastroenteritis. That's hardly love is it? Let's talk about love - it can give you far worse things than gastroenteritis. Besides, I want to hear about Mo's lovelife.
the mo beats experience Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 ha ha, nah ya don't, far too flamin' complicated! all on me lonesome at the moment, i think its in transit though, i'll keep ya posted! the last time i looked at this thread catflaps, snails and paisley was the topic, its ace how threads work out sometimes innit!
Cret Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 Must admit that until fairly recently I was pretty much convinced I'd be resigned to being a single man for a very long time indeed on account of being historically xxxx at wooing the ladies, and not having been out with anyone for 3 or 4 years. After I'd pretty much accepted that though and decided (most of the time at least ) that I was ok with that, along comes a very nice woman who seems to think the sun shines out of my arse. It's nice, and worth the wait. I wouldn't say I'm in love at the moment but I am a happy bunny and it does indeed appear to happen, i) When you aren't looking for it and, ii) When you're content in yourself. Chin up Zeph.
zephyr Posted July 3, 2004 Author Posted July 3, 2004 Why? so she can get a better slap at it? I think I'm getting over her now. Cheers Cret
purrrrrrrrrrry Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 Good for you Cret. If it's going to happen it will happen, and it's far more likely to happen to someone who doesn't think that they "need" someone else to make them whole - that is absolute BS but a reason why many ppl are in misery - either by being alone thinking they somehow aren't complete, or by being a serial dater/GF/BF as being with someone/anyone somehow equates to being "better" than being alone - yeah, right! I'm with Alanis: I don't want to be your other half, I believe that one and one make two You probably "got real" a while ago and realised that only you are responsible for your own happiness. Which a decent woman would see a mile off and tap into. Much happiness to you fella
