You have consumer rights (6 months I believe) on any used car as statutory. I think it only covers mechanical faults, i.e. if any pop up inside 6 months it’s assumed it was sold faulty, so clutch, gearbox etc. Not sure you can return it if you decide it’s a gay van and you hate it tho.

Azeem Rafiq: Yorkshire's former spinner on 'dreading every second' of playing for the county please log in to view this image Rafiq played 169 games for Yorkshire across all formats, making a high score of 100 and taking a total of 217 wickets A car pulls up and the window winds down, up steps a former county and youth international cricketer to hand out tea and snacks. This is now the life of former Yorkshire spinner Azeem Rafiq, who runs a food business with his family out of a shipping container in Rotherham. "For 15 years people thought I was living a dream, in reality I was dreading every second of it," he tells BBC Sport. "I carried on playing because of my will and my passion for cricket, it should have been the best time of my life. It is your family's dream and putting your family in a good place, it is your identity. "The more the problems happened, the more I wanted to run away." These problems were touched on by 29-year-old Rafiq in an interview with ESPN Cricinfo, in which he claimed there is "deep-rooted, institutional racism" at his former club which left him close to taking his own life. He revealed the extent of these issues to BBC Sport, saying on nights out if he was talking with someone, a team-mate would say "don't talk to him" and use a racially-offensive term linked to his Pakistani heritage. Rafiq, who was born in Pakistan and moved to England when he was 10, added: "They would stereotype me and say 'he stinks'. "On a pre-season trip to Dubai, one of the players said 'don't speak to him, he isn't a sheikh, he hasn't got any oil'. I have left a lot of nights out in tears. "As a Muslim lad I have tried to fit in and I've done things which I shouldn't have, which I regret, but all I wanted to do was play cricket for England. I did things that were against my religion and I am ashamed of that." Footballer Sterling empowered Rafiq to open up Rafiq was tipped to have a bright future with England honours, but it failed to materialise despite captaining an England side at the U19 World Cup - a team which featured Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler. He was Yorkshire's leading wicket-taker in the One Day Cup in 2017 but his stay, and ultimately his career, ended in acrimonious circumstances just a year later after being released by the county. The decision not to renew his contract came only a few months after his son was still-born, which he says was "used against me for their own purposes" as he retold a conversation he says had with director of cricket Martyn Moxon. please log in to view this image Rafiq now runs a tea and snacks business in Rotherham "On my first day back after losing my child, I was called into the office by the director of cricket and he gave me a dressing down," said Rafiq. "I could not believe it, he said my attitude was wrong, that the club had done all this work for me and I told him he knew my personal situation. "I left that meeting in tears and that was so wrong of him. I knew from when I reported the situation the year before what was going to happen and it got proven. "In 2017, I raised issues about a certain individual to the coach and director of cricket about how he was making me feel. "I went through a version of events with the chief executive and director of cricket - but while I was pouring my heart out, the director of cricket was too busy looking at the clock. He wasn't really interested." In direct response to the allegations made by Rafiq, Yorkshire chairman Roger Hutton said in a statement: "Everyone at the club had a huge amount of sympathy for Azeem and his family at the time of the tragic loss of his son, and he was encouraged by the club to take more time off from playing than he elected to at the time. "Those around him at the time knew how hard the tragedy had hit him but, despite advice from people at the club, he chose to return to the squad very soon afterwards. "We will review all the events detailed in the latest allegations, and we want to assure Azeem that we take the all the issues raised extremely seriously." Rafiq credits Manchester City and England forward Raheem Sterling for being so "strong" in opening up about his racist experiences and felt empowered by him to do the same.
Out blinking into the sunshine tomorrow after two weeks of quarantine. Not been too bad, did some DYI ****er **** first week and then worked at home this week just gone, plenty to get stuck into. Got three zombie children to gee up some interest in going back to school next week, but hopefully they'll be looking forward to it. Not that that seems to be the case currently. Will swing me bats tomorrow morning then going to this pop up restaurant thing in the park in the evening. Good to be out, think I might crack a Friday beer to celebrate!
Weekend without all the outlaws so going to enjoy it. Still got some things to do but will be in my own time and a beer token for each job.
Been a bit of a sad time my oldest split up with his girlfriend of 7 years, since they were 14. She's part of the family and then she's not. Mrs luv very upset.
You don’t get to choose their partners mate. Settling down with the first love is generally a recipe for divorce anyway, so likely for the best.
I think most lads really need to get out and have a feckless period to be honest. People I know who have shacked up and married 'sweethearts' have all now divorced, those who lived a bit haven't. Can't be nice if you became attached to her though of course. My own eldest is 14, I'd be chuffed if he would look-up from his phone and check out some girls. Be a bit worried if he stayed with the first one he tried out though.
Where we spent the 2nd week of our holiday in Biarritz is a site with a gate to a long surf beach and so what you get is pretty much people (the women) walking about in bikinis. Was having a beer in the sun and these two German teenage girls walked past giggling and looking over at my eldest. He didn't even ****ing look up. Instagram more interesting, the stupid knuckle head. I'd have been concealing a lazy one at his age.
Yeah they seem to have grown apart and she ended it but he's also not that bothered. She really got in with our family though and would attend a lot of time so it is odd without her.
Oh yeah we haven't got involved and left them to this, not our place to interfere regardless of how much we liked her.
