It was obviously beyond the wit of Aberdeen Council to make the bridge one way today and send the opposing traffic to the next bridge.

A Quebec father has launched a class-action lawsuit against McDonald's, alleging the company's Happy Meals break strict provincial laws against advertising to children.
Since its debut in 1979, the Happy Meal has been a staple of McDonald's menu and a go-to meal option on family road trips.
But some parents are decidedly unhappy about the hold the fast-food empire has over their children's stomachs.
Antonio Bramante is the lead plaintiff in a newly certified lawsuit that alleges McDonald's is unlawfully aiming advertising at children under 13 years of age.
That would violate the province's strict youth consumer protection laws.
Mr Bramante, a father of three young children, says he eats at McDonald's about once every two weeks on the urging of his children, according to the court documents.
He estimates he has spent hundreds of dollars on Happy Meals, which are children's meals that come with toys.
The Quebec father says the toys are often linked to popular film releases and his children often want to return to the restaurant so they can complete their set of toys.
He also claims the restaurant is directly targeting children by displaying the Happy Meals toys at their eye level.

£102 saved in return for an hour's effort on the computer - well worth it!

We informed the company that we would be at your offices at 08.00 16th November 2017 to sign and pay for our annual return.

When we arrived the papers were not ready. Call us British but when we have an appointment with a professional organisation who we are paying for a service we expect on time delivery of said service. Why should we sit around whilst people get their act sorted out? Unless of course you are prepared to pay for my time as a management consultant whilst I wait. It was pointed out that we could not print off copies at home as we operate a paperless office in accordance with ecotourism guidelines. We were assured that the matter would be sorted out. We expected to be asked back the following week to sign the papers. We are only in town once a week.

Despite saying that we have no printer, then, that afternoon we received the below with instructions to print off the forms and sign. I assumed that this was a standard form e-mail which I am sure it is and took it to be just information for us and file copies. To ensure it was I responded The fee was paid in your Maun office today. Please advise if there is anything further to do.

Nothing more was heard. In the past in the UK I have always done my own accounts and returns. I do not know the system here so employ your company. It is not exactly onerous or time consuming for which we pay you around 2,000 BWP a year. Why were the papers not ready for our appointment? Why were we sent attachment papers with instructions to print off when we had stated we had no printer? Why was my e-mail of any further action required not answered? Why was there no follow up when it was realised that you did not have the required papers to file? In the UK in extreme circumstances a filing can be made, with a well-established company, without the directors signatures so it was not unusual to us that we had not signed. This is why we employ you to ensure the correct procedures are followed.

This statement : They asked us just to email the annual return which you did and they will bring the signed copies next week. Is completely incorrect. We had stated more than once that we had no printer so how could we possibly have said that?

I have never in my whole business career filed late. When one employs professionals one certainly doesn’t expect them to fail to file. You had already been paid. Perhaps we should have withheld this until we had ensured that you had executed said actions. This is a black spot on our records at Companies House. Records which are openly available to the public. This is effectively defamation of character of the directors of the company. Please give me one reason why we should not sue your company for defamation.

As far as we are concerned the failure to file is in your court and you are liable for the late filing fee. What way forward does your company wish to go regarding this massive failure in your system and the embarrassment caused to the directors of our company. Your misdemeanor reflects directly and completely on them?

I asked for his supervisor as I was most offended as I happened to be trans-gendering which was a painful emotional process.
