I have met half a dozen other contributors but given that we all use codenames I may have met more than I think.

Currently, I am at the tribunal every Wednesday afternoon at 2pm (booked up to 18 December) with more than one case (If there is only one I tend to change it to a telephone hearing but I generally prefer to eyeball the adjudicator).

Tribunal hearings are public so you can just turn up and watch (not many of the public do, it not being as big a draw as the Old Bailey) but if any other contributor does want to meet then please message me. I live in High barnet so can easily meet any other London based person.
I help you pro bono (for free). I only ask that a donation is made to the North London Hospice if you can afford it and if you win. I have an 85% success rate across 2,000 PCNs but some PCNs can't be beaten and I will tell you if your case looks hopeless.

There was a Bogsy who was quite an expert in parking things and Boggy who was the chap I met at Folkestone/Ashford tribunal. ISTR he had a case involving house removal parking and won the day. I think mine was when we discovered the cEOs weren't wearing the correct uniform. I won the day on that one.

Do you mean 'Bogsy' wasn't a pseudonym?

Bogsy's last appearances on pepipoo was as a guest status. I recently e mailed Bogsy but had no response.
There are known knowns which, had we known, we would never have wished to know. It is known that this also applies to the known unknowns. However, when one attends a hearing, Mr Rumsfeld's idea that there are also unknown unknowns fails to apply because, anyone who is in the know, knows that unknown unknowns are purely a deception otherwise known as an aleatory experience or also known as a lottery. I know that I know this to be a fact and, in this knowledge, I know that I am fully prepared to present my case but, paradoxically, in full knowledge that the unknown unknowns may well apply.

He (finally) ran afoul of the moderators.

Did he at least correct their terminology when they banned him? "There is no such thing as banning, etc"


funny enough I was thinking the same thing a week or two ago and was going to ask that question, then I thought .... nah

I think so long as a third person doesn't ask we are safe.

An absolute diamond geezer. No word from him via e mails. Such common-sense advice. And he wore the shirt, as it were.

 Schhol Run Mum was another useful member, also known as Coupon Mad on MSE from what I remember.
