Petrol stations

[dextersaurus]

Just wondering...

Went to a petrol station today, and there were a few things i picked up on...

1, the area beside the pump was covered in diesel, told the lass beside the pump (yes, she did work there), and she said 'ok' and walked away...

2, the surface was pretty crap, there was holes all over the place

I put the CG on it's centre stand, and it nearly went over.

Luckily it didn't *cough*blindweezy*cough*

If it did, due to their lack of upkeep of the road and the diesel spills which i nearly slipped on (boots don't like slippy surfaces ), would i be able to claim money for damage caused to the bike?

Or would it be my own fault for putting the bike on it's stand in the first place?

On a side note, mr broon, did you pass myself and blindweezy on that yellow beemer of yours? just down from the royal...

Also...

Do you ever get asked to take your lid off when you go to pay?



Just kidding

Always expect it to be slippery around pumps.........

If its that bad. Never go back again.

They only get one chance, if thye blow it then its their profit they have lost.

don't use legal expenses cover if for some reason you have it. all it does is earn the insurance company money from the no win no fee solicitors they refer you to. so you pay extra, for them to refer you to solicitors who pay them for the referral.

instead, choose the solicitors yourself looking for ones that are good at what you need.

so don't bother taking out legal expenses cover because you don't gain anything by it, all it gets you is the services of a solicitor you could get the same service from by approaching them yourself.

not really sure what to do, i have legal cover but i'm only 3rd party as well but i could just try to source the parts my self but i think its going to be expensive ish

you having tpo is irrelevant if claiming from someone elses insurance, as it would be their insurance paying and nothing to do with yours

what's broken?

personally, i'd rather use a solicitor who is choosen because they're good, rather than one choosen because they pay your insurance company for making the referral.

legal expenses cover is an easy way to get a solicitor taking your case, but on the same logic you could just choose the first one listed in yellow pages. that would be just as clever as using the one from legal expenses cover, it might actually be a better idea cos that way your insurance company don't make money for referring you

it still won't cost anything as you'll be able to get solicitors on a no win no fee basis and the bill would be paid by the insurance company you're claiming from.

yes, i'm bored so writing long posts

No, that's fair enough - good counter argument.
