Ok then I will try to explain briefly.
jambutty can not accept that what entwisi said about Asda being able to refuse to sell anything they want to anyone they choose is correct in law. He thinks that because Asda have decided on there own rule for selling alcohol and possibly certain other items that they are trying to cause a Government coup or something.

emamum23 you will soon realise that we have some members on here that just like to moan and be awkward.
jambutty is one of those, he can not and will not ever accept that he could possibly be wrong ( please do find an occasion when he has admitted to be wrong and I will accept that I am ). He will argue until the rest of us get fed up reading his posts and give up replying.

I am by no means attacking him with this post just stating the truth as I and many others I have spoked too see it, just have a read of some of his posts/threads and you will see what I mean.

It is implicit in Jambutty's last posting that he now knows he was wrong.

A first-class grovelling apology from him would therefore be in order.

Now I'm getting confused , am I correct in assuming that a shop can refuse to sell you an item on the shelf just because they dont like the look of your face ? (the case of pub staff serving someone intoxicated is a different matter ) surely if the customer can prove he/she is of or above the legal age they are entitled to the same service as crotchety 70 yr old .
OK I will admit that shops have the right to refuse service and bar undesirable customers from their premises (street people /known shoplifters etc.) but i fail to see how a business can be selective in what it will sell to this person , surely a 20 yr old who is permitted to buy a pound of bacon is also entitled to all other goods offered by the same establishment .Could the same store be allowed to refuse an obese customer the same pound of bacon on health grounds ?

Does a person selling a house have the same rights to tell a prospective buyer , "no I'm not selling my house to you , I dont like the look of you" , I think not

I think that has been done. Whether it is moral or legal I'm not sure though.

i was thinking the same, was it an instance a good few years ago you were thinking of Willow?

WillowTheWhisp · 03-12-2007, 20:56

Could be.

I don't see why not. You can take your house off the market right up until you sign contracts. It only like gazumping (how ever its spelt) where you sell to someone else at the last minute.

Jambutty, perhaps you already know this, perhaps it is intentional, but I can't help but notice that you have this way of being awfully hypocritical. You condemn other members for bringing the argument down to name-calling, and 'dodging' parts of your post to further qualify their own, yet you regularly partake in both activities.

You may not consider that you are not attacking me but it sure sounds like it to me and you are not telling the truth or maybe it is because you can’t read. Or more likely you like a few others can’t stand someone who speaks his mind and worst still from your viewpoint he sticks by his opinion and won’t be swayed by verbal bullying. Some people on here assume that everyone should think like they do and when someone comes along who thinks for himself they get aggravated.

Now be a good cherub and toddle off to read the opening post. It states:

Quote:

I also appreciate that a vendor is under no obligation to sell his wares if the vendor chooses not to do so. But once a customer has indicated that he wants to buy an item and has offered the money to complete the sale, the vendor must then complete the transaction.

Or has that changed too?

But hey why let the truth get in the way of having a dig. But I’m far too thick skinned to let childish behaviour bother me.

My last post stated, “It takes one to know one”. So you are wrong again Tealeaf and yet another example of not engaging brain before opening gob.

I think that it would be an excellent idea if Tealeaf holds his breath. It would stop him mouthing off his usual tripe.

I do not open the name calling. I respond in kind.

But I was under the impression that your stance was; "I’m far too thick skinned to let childish behaviour bother me." If this is so then why should you dignify such behaviour with an equally child like response?
