A bit out-of-date though - it states "BT’s most popular residential package, Unlimited Weekend Plan" when we know the Anytime plan, or whatever it's now called, is the most popular.

For 0844 it says " CAP understands that BT Anytime is the most popular call plan in the UK. On that basis, we recommend that marcoms should include pricing information that states the cost or price per minute (ppm) of an 0843/0844 call to BT customers on that plan, and explain that mobile and other providers’ charges may vary "

All of the CAP advice should have been updated to refer to "BT Anytime", not "BT Weekends". If they have missed a particular case, please let them know (or send me the specific reference) and I am sure that it will be corrected.

Whilst the CAP advice is not a code of regulation which demands compliance, it forms an important basis for determinations by the ASA, as to whether a particular piece of published information is "legal, decent, honest and truthful". It is therefore reasonable to assume that an explicit failure to follow CAP guidance will prompt appropriate action by the ASA.

And of course one would naturally expect any claim made by a Solicitor of all people to be "legal, decent, honest and truthful" Wink

I never yet met a commercial solicitor who could not afford either a very sharp suit or had a car more than a year or two old. There are criminal solicitors out there representing defendants in magistrates courts who genuinely do the job out of a passion for their profession rather than because it is normally an easy way to make a lot of money (as it nearly always is for solicitors operating only in the civil law area).

Also now these solicitors are LLPs (Limited Liability Partnerships) will they simply wind up this Linder Myers and write off its debts and then start up Linder Myers 2 at the same address with the same staff.......................
