Have any members met other members in real life?
« on: November 08, 2024, 10:15:06 pm »
Just a thought, with so many people on here and on the old Pepipoo site, has anybody actually met others face-to-face?

I remember meeting up with a PPP member local to me when i had a case at Tribunal in Ashford about 12 years ago. He won his case, I won mine. I've not heard of the chap since, I think his name on PPP was Boggy. The guy before us obviously lost as there was a lot of shouting, table thumping and door slamming when he left the room. The adjudicator took a few minutes to compose himself.

Bus driving since 1973. My advice, if you have a PSV licence, destroy it when you get to 65 or you'll be forever in demand.

More than a hundred I would say. As for the other two Musketeers, how long is a piece of string? Our administrator does close on 1,000 cases a year I believe - met by phone mostly I guess.  ;D

I could reduce his cases  if he wishes to give me the easy ones.  ;D

Possibly Bogsy. IMO he knew his stuff and taught me the law re disabled parking in loading bays. (Oakstar thread).

I represented at PATAS years ago a case just after a guy threw the papers at the learned A MacFarlane and used the f and c words. The senior security officer (who is a really nice guy) dealt with it admirably.

When I walked in I said this: "Sir, I can assure you that I will not conduct myself as the last appellant did.!"

My clearly very subtle point was that there are two administrators - CP and myself.

Sorry about that. I even conflated my daughter's and grand daughter's Christian names the other day. Otherwise, I think I still qualify to go to Carnival Furnival Street.  ;D

Yes, plenty of times, either at the tribunal hearing centre or the High Court.
