That has to be the winner right there...Everyone who ask you security questions when you call. I wanted to report a fault on a land line, I provided their reference, then they start. Address? its on the records that you can look up with your reference, telephone number? likewise. Stop asking me for information that you can look at in front of you FFS.

I understand that 
I mean, if you have your 17 year old son with you and your buying alcohol, you could legally be buy in it for your son to drink at home and even admit that at the till to the IDer and be perfectly legal. But how do you explain that to the blanket, "look under 60, no ID no sale" brigade.
You could try "age discrimination".

We have a prepayment electric meter. A letter came from E-on with a £12 credit voucher on it - addressed to my wife, who is for some reason the account holder. I duly popped into the local post office where I have been topping up the e-key regularly for the last few years. I handed over the letter to the post office lady (who has been serving me for years) but she refused to process it as although she knew me "she didn't know my wife". Fair enough, I suppose, so I duly returned home to collect said wife, who wasn't particularly chuffed about being dragged away from a warm flat and some crap tv movie!
We returned to the post office and we handed over the letter, the key and the wife's provisional photocard licence. Post office lady still refused to process the voucher it as it wasn't a full licence...
So we went to another post office which we rarely use and it was processed no problem!

Hate to say it but DVLA are right to take issue. Either tax it, SORN it or scrap it.I imagine a letter to the registered keeper would have been sufficient but hey, easy money I suppose.

"the car has no engine, no fuel tank and all fluids have been removed. He says its parked on private land and most of the front end has been cut off including one of the wheels"
If I built a mock tank with toilet rolls for a cannon, would I need a firearms licence? I despair at some people, they need to grow up and take things as they see them and make a rational decision.

Can a supermarket refuse to serve you if you have a 17 year old son/daughter with you then like they do?
They can refuse to serve you for any reason they like3 straight off the bat
Imagine a gay black Muslim. He wouldn't get served

It was a prop for a Halloween themed evening, it was not a car in its real sense.

It WAS a car. At the point it was effectively scrapped, it should have been officially scrapped."the car has no engine, no fuel tank and all fluids have been removed. He says its parked on private land and most of the front end has been cut off including one of the wheels"

You can't just decide yourself when something is exempt from being certified, licenced or subject to legal control.
Don't know whether this belongs here but:
I booked a van to move house. Booked from 10am this morning until 10am thursday (specifically to miss the morning rush hour at the place i'm dropping it off).
Just arrived at the van hire place a little early (45 mins) because my wife had a hospital appointment and dropped me off first - so I thought i'd go into the office and get things moving.
Guy behind the desk says that although the van is already here sitting waiting to be collected - if I take it now, I'd have to drop it off at 9:15 or be charged a whole extra day's hire.
Surely it's no skin off their nose to let the van go a few minutes early if it's just sat there?
Anyway - i'm now sat in the office, looking at the van waiting for 10 o-clock to roll around.

Nope, Southampton is its own city for administrative and postal services etc. Every address in the Southampton City Council area is properly composed:
Number, Street Name
(Area of City) - optional
Southampton
SO14 9XX (example)
You don't even need to have the area as all the road names in the whole city are unique, people who live in the "nice" areas tend to add that on more than those in the less desirable parts of town
When I worked at the Council, my boss (40+ years with the Council) delighted in correcting people who added a needless "Hampshire" to the address. They were as non-plussed as I'm sure you all are.
Jazz it up however you like, it still Scumhampton and unfortunately for the rest of us it's most definitely in Hampshire. Just because it's a city doesn't mean it's not in a county.Number, Street Name

You could argue you don't need the city name, or indeed the road name either.

If it's a national company the booking system will log the hire time and generate the return time. Wouldn't have anything to do with the staff.I booked a van to move house.
