"Kent fire service said the first floor and roof of a house in Sittingbourne had been set alight by a lightning strike and a bungalow's roof was hit in Whitstable"

We probably did the right thing.

re-sizing fail

I'm ever so confused by fizik sizing.
The size chart makes me think I'd need a 41.5 (normal EU size 40) as I've measured my foot and its 26cm. But that seems insane. And the men's and women's size chart is the same which they're usually not and ahhhh.

That was great! Thanks to everyone for a great day and especially huge thanks to Hats for leading the way.
I've had a Marmite pita and a cup of tea and I'm feeling pretty good now.

Oh no. The black logo made my heart just sink.
RIP rider. :(

Just to check... Mainline station for the meeting point? Or cutty sark for posingwithbikeforinstagram?

Thanks for organising!
I've signed up individually as well. I think. Wantz swag!

At the moment I'm feeling pretty good after the dynamo so I'm allowing myself to get excited. I can and will happily floodbsocial media with updates of our pain.

The Ruby was a success on the Dunwich Dynamo. I can't claim everything felt marvelous the whole time (there's a slight lingering undercarriage discomfort, but nothing too major) but at no point did I want to cry / tear off my lady parts etc
Money well spent I say.

Well, I'm glad its not an issue any more, but I'm sad that you're ill and once again unable to do the ride.
Next year if you're down a stoker I'll step in for sure.

Bump for the chap in need.
A singular tandem rider is a sad image indeed.

Could you borrow a non-tandem for the dynamo? It'll be just as fun. Possibly.

Thanks for doing that!
If a facebook page/group thing is necessary I'm happy to do that

I agree!
To be honest I thought this would take longer than Monday. This is based on the number of orders, designs, and my personal experience of potato printing in primary school ( I hear that proper art printing is even harder than that)

100km is 62 miles, which makes it sound more manageable. And I think I'm actually free that day, which is a miracle. Unless everything still hurts from Dunwich, which is a possibility.
I would be geared to the max though - is that allowed? (I love my gears)

Take your passport scan off... Don't be ridiculous

Actually we know what the Z stands for, and it is his real middle name.

Zfraudster?

Does anyone have a specialized oura?
I went and got a specialized Ruby, and I'm rather liking it, but I'm wondering whether it may be a bit too firm. It's great to know my sit bones are both on the saddle and feel them being there (hello 155 width) but my goodness I can feel them.
I haven't been using padded shorts though because it's only three commute.
Shape seems good. Need a couple of slight adjustments but even in the wrong position it seems better than the old one. Just very firm.
But then the oura felt ever so squishy. it's a minefield.

As DT pointed out, £200 odd quid doesn't seem much for the matter being dropped and this not going further.
With a criminal record already if this did go to court they'd be less likely to be lenient. It would be a case you can't win which would mean your having to pay court and legal costs as well a repayment/fine/time. That will be more than £200 quid, go on the record, and be really time consuming and boring for everyone.

There are really only two options available. Lfgss isn't likely to let this go, so either it will become a police matter as people have made their intentions clear OR you can refund people's money, take it as a life lesson from which you'll learn, and get out of the situation with your dignity roughly intact.
If you do the latter then it's all gravy. No police, no easily found accusations of fraud, and bridges not completely burned.
Legally you're in a tricky position and it's a case you would almost cerainly lose... Is it worth it? Personally I don't think so.

Its simple Charlotte. Iv sent the items to all buyers. I have no idea what has happened to them. I havent committed any kind of fraud. The police will see this. And not be able to charge me unless they can prove i haven't. Which they cant because i have. Its not up to me to prove otherwise. Apollo its interesting you make such a statement

Unfortunately for you, in this instance, it IS your responsibility to prove you posted the items.

I don't understand why it's so hard to understand.

Charlotte along with Kirth. Have a very long hard think about what you keep blabbering on about. Theres no contract on this forum. Velocio will tell you this im sure

I love this.
A complete and utter (wilful?) misunderstanding of the law.

I'll save myself the energy of trying to explain a very basic concept to someone with a, clearly, very low level of intellect.

Ah.. I forgot The System.
I'll just sit here with my popcorn.

Surely the point of a receipt is to hold on to it so that should something go wrong you have evidence you have fulfilled your part of the contract.

Once the agreement has been made between buyer and seller it is a legal contract. The buyer is contractually obliged to pay, which in this case has been done and all buyers can prove this through bank statements etc. The seller enters two legal contracts: one with the buyer to send the goods to the specified place in the manner agreed, and with the delivery company to get the goods there.
Until the buyer receives the goods they are still the seller's responsibility.
You claim you sent them but the goods have disappeared... The process has fallen down in the seller/delivery company contract a and is nothing to do with the buyer.
Therefore it is the responsibility of the seller to either provide a replacement or refund to the buyer.
The seller and the delivery company then sort out the sellers loss between them. If the seller can prove they sent the items the delivery company then either has to return/replace/refund the value of the goods. Your bank statement shows how much the goods are worth as it's what you were paid for them.

In summary, the law is clear on this and is designed to protect the buyer who has to pay before receiving the item. The buyer is not to be left out of pocket. The seller shouldn't be either and that is why it is the seller's responsibility to get and keep proof of postage.
So, it's your problem you lost the receipt/proof of postage. Refund what people paid for unreceived goods.

"If no date is specified, delivery of goods or the start of performance of a service must be within 30 days of the order. If they don't arrive you are entitled to cancel the order and receive a full refund.

According to the Sale and Supply of Goods to Consumer Regulations 2002 the goods remain at the seller’s risk until they are delivered to the consumer. Thus the supplier is liable should the goods not arrive."
