catfan 14,793 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 It is illegal to sell alcohol to football fans at football stadia, but Nottm City Council quite legally sold beer to the 3k fans who watched the game at Nottm Castle at the weekend, I think there is a lesson to be learned here somewhere. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 After last Saturday's trouble I wonder if they will be screening further games ? Alcohol or not ? Typical how such a tiny minority can spoil a great occasion where many people of different ages & races can have a memorable afternoon out ruined by the few. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

denshaw 2,869 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Can't see there will be much difference making it ticket only. What will they do on Sunday when England beat France in the final? It's also the Carribean carnival on Sunday. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 I noticed they put a small ticket administration fee on. wonder how much that will be ? Someone has to pay for the tram. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,378 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 A bit off topic but admin fees on ticket sales really, really pee me off. It even applies if you buy direct at the theatre box office , just a money grubbing excuse to squeeze every last penny they can. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,071 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Just be looking at buying a car on top of the price now you have £100 addmin charges. Is this right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,869 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 No, tell them you don't want the car, see if they'll drop the admin charges. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brew 5,378 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Catfan and denshaw are right Mary. When I bought herself a new car they tried this so I simply said "no I'm not paying that and I can go elsewhere", They agreed, and I still went somewhere else.... buggerem.

denshaw 2,869 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 They'll also try and sell you GAP insurance for £300 when you can buy it online for £80. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Just another way Mary to squeeze a bit more brass out of you. Most big name dealers try this on, don't fall for it ! When I bought Ruby from a main dealer they tried to slip a £100 admin charge in, I said reduce the price of the car by £100 & I'll pay it or keep the car & I'll go elsewhere. Another dodge is to try & flog paintwork protection plans which cost quite a bit, they don't apply the polish just add their commission on the price. These dealers will go to any lengths to extract every penny out of you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,378 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 The second garage tried to charge £450 for metallic paint, they gave it for free when i reared up. I feel no compunction about squeezing them for every penny discount. At the end of the day if they weren't still making a profit they'd never agree to my demands.

philmayfield 6,089 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 The list price on a new car is just the start of the negotiating procedure. There are sites like Car Wow which will give you best deals so you use that as a starting point. It might be a potential pride and joy to you but it's just another unit to the dealership. I'm generally a cash buyer but when they throw in things like interest free HP you might as well take it up. All the other things like gap insurance, tyre insurance, bodywork protection - just turn them down. They usually throw these things into the final deal to clinch your business. Or buy low mileage preowned/preregistered and save thousands! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When i was looking for a new car a while ago three garages treated me as if i was unable to understand the most basic information regarding the cars i was interested in. One even asked me if i had a younger member of my family who could possibly help me understand the more technical details, if i had said what thought proably been arrested. I ended up going back to Sunderland to a dealer that we have used before and bought a BMW 3 series lovely motor lovely service. Any other ladies on here had same problem.

philmayfield 6,089 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 When I go to buy a car they look at me and think I couldn't possibly afford it. I really must make an effort to smarten up. - But then do I care! It's for them to impress me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
