     Is smoking a massive burden on the NHS? Yes. 

    Are you saying that people enjoy smoking? 

    Yes I am staying in, doing my daily exercise. I know that if there is one bed left and it's me or someone twice my size who smokes and drinks and hasn't looked after themselves, I'm more likely to get the bed.....

    Regards to the smoking my dad was diagnosed couple months back with stage 3 COPD, he won't listen, so he continues to smoke, with a horrific cough. He also continues to work delivering parcels. He actually has enough money in the coffer to stay at home, I've already warned him he will be seen as a burden and won't be priority. 

    Your not wrong about the bed situation though, my aunt's  brother in law has contracted the virus in hospital, he went there because of arthritis, he's 50 and has special needs, which is probably costing government more money to care for him. He can see no family now. He was meant to be discharged yesterday but the doctor said he started coughing and his breathing is not good.The doctor said they will not be treating him in intensive care. No patients have masks on his ward.  They have now moved him to an isolation ward.

    50% was the minimum. It was half to two thirds of people who will die from this would have died this year.

    How is that a disregard for life? It is a fact.

    If you can't see how saying, minimum 50% will die "ANYWAY" then you need your head checking. 

    "ANYWAY", to add to your facts, people who smoke choose to do so.

    Why is smoking legal? What purpose does it serve?

    Why is alcohol and sugar legal? 

    What purpose does it serve? What a silly questionh, I mean what purpose does shagging a woman in their arse serve?

    Nope never smoked. 

    I hope your staying in and only leaving your home if necessary!

    Yes, I massively underestimated the effect of the reaction to this, didn't see this coming at all....

    But, I still stand by the death statistics. 1700 a day die in this country, we are up to maybe 80-100 a day now, which I know will rise but is still a tiny amount compared to the amount of people killed by smoking each year.  Not sure i've ever seen you saying anything about smoking being bad for us all and how we should all stop immediately.

    A minimum of 50% of these people would have died anyway this year

     

     

    You can't compare obesity and smoking they are lifestyle choices. Plus on TV/media etc  always banging on about obesity and the underlying health probkems. Have you not seen the photos on cigarette packets. 

    And minimum of 50% would have died anyway? Where did you get those figures from.... That statement is just a disregard for life, heartless.

    That will be 92 buyers who thought they could get a cheap bargain but then realised what 'sold as seen' really means?

    I'm happy for BCA/Manheim to get lots of negative reviews, it helps scare off the amateurs!

    That will be 93 buyers, after antokid buys from them. 

    I'm surprised these guys haven't had a stress related heart attack.

    I see your problem being that you ate far away from carswithnoreservereading. 

    Have you asked them if they have any other branches nearer to you that they could move the car to so that you could view it? 

    What car is it anyway and how much is it? 

    carswithnoreservereading buy high mileage and v cars  from bca, auction them off on ebay. Cars are not prepped and a lot of them are shite.

    I'm far from being an expert on these things but doesn't CAT S require fresh MOT before the V5 is re-issued? Why not extend that to all write offs regardless, can't see how it would hurt. Especially bearing in mind the amount of guys that are doing the whole youtube "Copart rebuild" thing. And from what I've seen there are varying levels of competency; some guys should be banned from owning a set of spanner!

    No. Applying for the V5 is the same as Cat N. Although if its a cat S you don't have to pay the £25 fee.

    Hi guys, as per title, I need to transfer a car I've had in trade for 6 months to my personal name. Can I back date this to 6 months ago? If so is it better to send the V5 off or do it online and say i've sold the car to myself. I know its been discussed before but can't find the thread. Car has been taxed since I bought it. 

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm a little late coming to the party on this one but for what its worth if a hand held polisher is useful to you then I highly recommend the AC Delco Li-on 10.8V mini polisher, I use mine daily and far more convenient being battery powered.  The Autel MD808 Pro is a good value scan tool with free updates for life and has service functions like EPB, reset etc.  For upholstery I use a brush, new sponge and a bucket full of upholstery cleaner and wet vac it out with a Karcher WD2 then put a dehumidifier in the car overnight.  Hope this is useful.

    Hi Brunswick how many minutes use do you get from one battery?

    I'm with Covea only because they were £450 cheaper than anywhere else. 

    Someone put in a claim against me, side swiped my car when I was stationary, reason why I didn't want to claim, because the damage to my stock car was so minimal I polished it out by hand. Covea tried to pressure me with a letter to admit liability, I told them to jog on. They have set a reserve of  £14000, because the 4 people in the other car are all claiming soft tissue injuries. Happened in April and It's still ongoing now. 

    Claim management guy came round for 2 hours to take a statement, check drivers licence with DVLA and take copies of V5, purchase invoices, sales receipts, advertising,  etc then after all that I get emails/letters from Covea asking for proof that I'm a car dealer. 

    Dash cam is key, wish I had it at the time would have put this to bed ages ago, insurance gone up £400, no claims gone down by 2 years.

    This is all very helpful,but in my experience ( it’s not like Judge Rinder) when you are in a small claims court defending yourself and you have some disgruntled Judge they may not be so reasonable towards a car dealer whatever defence you have.These people (lawyers and barristers )acting as Judges know you will not appeal......please tell me I am wrong.

    Did you watch Judge Rinder earlier then(can't stand the man) ..... When the lying Couple took a car dealer there over a shitty £700 banger. They had 4 months use of the car,  even drove from Liverpool to Wales, "that's not far" judge Rinder shouted. Anyway the car had a water leak, they took it to independent garage got it repaired, then few weeks later car broke down, and an independent report found 6 Inch hole in engine block, and many nuts & bolts missing, car deemed unsafe and only good for scrap. Judge ruled in their favour £700 full refund, plus £250 for repairs they paid for the car, even though they didn't give dealer a chance to look at the car. The smug look on their faces after. Now I know it's only Judge Rinder and for entertainment, but there are many judges like him (who know F all about the used car business) and the majority will completely dismiss car dealers and  side with the consumer regardless of facts. 

    So your not wrong trade vet.

    Sorry but this is such bad advice. You need an air fed mask run from a separate compressor well away from the spray area. Normal face masks don't protect from Isocyanates.  5 minutes without an air fed mask will cause tight chest and wheezing a couple of days later.  Be careful.

    I should of clarified for occasional use with a twin mask like I use will be fine, if your in a spray booth everyday then yes air fed is the way. 1k acrylic paint is just at bad. We all use health, beauty, cleaning products, and stand in an auction hall without a mask, yet they can trigger asthma and all sorts of problems.

    Because it contains isocyanates, you don't want that getting on your skin ,hate to think of the effect on lungs. 

    Just put a twin mask on, and disposable overall on you'll be fine, could cause skin irritation or asthma(and that's being expose to it many years) but then again so can many other things we use in daily life, have you seen half the Shit the put/spray on our food and drinks nowadays, and as for the fumes the lads breathe in at auctions everday.
