When I was in my local store at the weekend I noticed that they had popcorn on a BOGOF offer.
I think that we should be told.

Contact trading standards. Oh and tell the shop you are doing so and will be complaining they sold you an item that was not what they claimed.
Thanks but effectively they can simply say it has been opened at some point (as it now has of course) I cannot prove it left their shop like that. It must have done but proof is required. As soon as I open a phone for such proof they can walk away saying it was previously opened just like Apple have. I suspect trading standards may feel the same.
Like I said caught in the middle and still paying. It's very frustrating as I know somewhere I was scammed but companies can hide behind saying it's been opened. How many more has this happened too I wonder with 2nd class parts? I just feel it unlikely I am the only one how do you know your IPhone is an IPhone? Now hundreds of pounds down without redress by the looks.
Is this correct: the Apple store opened the phone, and they say the screen module is not an official part?
(Note, for once this is not an anti-Apple rant).
If anyone doesn't believe that watch Dromeys interview from this morning.
You should have a statutory rights claim under the "as described" clause. Essentially, though, it will come down to you claiming that the shop sold you something that was fake and they claiming that you must have broken it open and replaced the screen with a fake (although I'm not sure why you would do that!)

You can also make a Section 75 claim against your credit card company.
If this fails, I'd suggest joining Twitter and/or writing to one of the consumer champions in the press!
His only relief is that the slide has to stop at -100%....
IDS was given time by his MPs, Good people served in his Shad Cab, loyalty held sway, apart from a few irreconcilables. That was his due as the propély elected leader.
It was his failure to connect, on policy or on personality, that led MPs to oust him, as well as the remorseless march of time towards the next election.
When the parliamentary party moved against him it was swift and decisive. An alternate leader was chosen, his rival pushed aside by the hope of later glory ( poor judgement, DD).
Only then did the rebuilding start.
What hope for Labour?
1. How much time do you give JC?
2. Where's the loyalty?
3. Where's the alternate?

Maybe next year, unless the unions get him first.
He can't help himself, and nor would he ever think he should either.
If they think it can't happen to them they can ask their Scottish colleagues. It won't take long.
Someone in the supply chain had an iPhone of that model, and broke their screen - a sadly common occurrence. They then opened the official box and replaced the new phone with their repaired one.
From what you've described, that probably would have happened at the store as they were setting up the phone.
Alternatively, it might be a good way of laundering a stolen phone. Not sure about either of these, though.
I've never had an iPhone, so I don't know if the box or documentation carries the hardware serial #'s. If they do, see if they match up.
And certainly complain to the store. They may not refund you, but they may be able to detect a pattern. Also, how long was there between the purchase and the trip to the Apple store? Months? Weeks?
2. None
3. None.
It's the old guard pissing that they lost control.
Reckon I am one of the few to get a refund,but at what cost of my personal time!

"Is Sarah Palin about to endorse Donald Trump? An investigation."
"Late Monday evening, during the waning hours of a three-day weekend, a subset of America's political watchers turned its attention to a small twin-engine charter jet that was passing over the emptiness of the Canadian West."
Thanks but again both say it has been opened. The problem is they can say you broke it got it fixed then have returned with a further fault for us to fix. I can sort of see their points up to the point I know it's never been opened and it's presented as it came out of the box.
That's the frustrating part I can only prove the point by opening the IPhone and as soon as you do that ( and even if you don't like me) all they have to do is infer it and walk away. It's just no hope for the customer situation. I certainly will look into section 75 claim thanks for that pointer but it will come down to proof yet again I suspect.
Mrsquare Root
Thanks but I dare not take the chance Why should I anyway I have done nothing wrong here someone else has. I would really like to do just that though I really would.
Many thanks both anyway i like the idea of trading standards to be honest but it can only be for them to keep an eye out for others. They then are in the same position as me.
I am wondering whether to go direct to Apple and say I think you have a problem in delivery systems but huge organisation they won't care.
I didnt hear Robert Magabu but Guido claims that was asked also, with a similar point.
I received a letter yesterday from the council, in response to my application for a place for my middle daughter at primary school next year. In order to verify her address, they want:
1) an NHS card or a tax credit letter,
2) a tenancy agreement or a mortgage statement, and
3) a utility bill or a council tax bill
Now the council are normally pretty good, but this strikes me as incredibly inefficient. Why are they asking me for a council tax bill? Surely they have a reference of who they send these bills too? Surely they also know - from the electoral register - who lives where? And surely they also know - from the fact that her older sister already attends the school and that middle daughter goes to the nursery at the school - who we are and where we live? The teachers even came to visit her in our sodding house before she started nursery.
I understand (although am irritated by) the need for them to weed out carpet-baggers, and would be annoyed if she couldn't go to the local school because people from miles away were lying to take the place which should have been hers (although the school is no better than perfectly adequate). I'm just rather taken aback by the un-joined-upness of local government.
Make sure your story is consistent, though. (Not saying it isn't, but they'll look for cracks).
He''s not the most electorally attractive option. But he's streets ahead of JC in that regard. (cf Michael Howard, who seemed refreshingly competent and electable after IDS).
I guess "Down down deeper and down" will be Labour's theme song for 2020.
I think I am going to another Apple Store take a second opinion then chase the credit card company an report to trading standards. Can't see what else I can do.
Oh and fork out yet more money to get the phone repaired.
Cameron "approval" 43%.
43/70 = 61.4%
L&N would have that as landslide territory, I think.
I wouldn't fork out a penny for repairs. The second you do an unauthorised repair you'll void the warranty etc
The new politics seems very sinister...
Ah, okay. Scratch those possibilities then.
Trump is the moderate choice !!
It should have been OK to say he could not walk at 85 years of age, and things do not get better with age,at 90, he still cannot walk, but no, you have to go through a whole re-assessment,
OK rant over.
@Moses_
Small Claims Court claim vs the shop that sold it to you?
Claim against credit card (and they will deal with the shop)?
Switch to Samsung? (I am happy I did this).
I think I have hijacked this thread enough but all comments very much appreciated. I will let you know what comes of it all in due course. I don't give up easily though that's for sure
'we head to Scotland where it's now 6-0 to Celtic, and while your with me, it's game over now, Celtic have just scored again to make it 7-0'
I spot a weakness in that statement.
Now I don't think "well or badly" is quite comparable between LOTO and PM, but that's a cracking rating and shows up just how poor Corbyn's is - and how hard it'll be for the Tories to replace him.
What really puts it into perspective is that a lot of Con 2015 GE voters were not dyed-in-the-wool Tories by any means. That coalition included many people who simply didn't trust Miliband/Balls with the economy, didn't trust Salmond with the levers of power, people who might have been sympathetic to the Lib Dems but ultimately didn't want to waste their vote on a lost cause (not all 2010 Lib Dems went red in 2015 by any means). But despite including grudging and unenthusiastic psephological Conservatives, these voters still rate Cameron as doing a good job. Or perhaps more likely the truth is the other way round... and their trust in Cameron is why they were willing to stump up their votes for a party they were not necessarily fond of.
Very interesting.

I would go back to the shop and keep complaining since your contract is with them. Surely the onus is on them to prove you opened it up?
I am no expert about iphones (to put it mildly), but I think you can check the IMEI to see whether your iphone was used before you had it? I suspect it was.

But, Corbyn is working to a different timescale. As Alistair Meeks has pointed out, he, or left wing successors, only have to get lucky once.
The Tories can be confident they won't face a Blairite in 2020 but I think they should be asking themselves if there is any leftwing alternative to Corbyn who could be an electoral threat.
(*) Testing radio reception of one of her chips. Allegedly.
Lots of things could happen, e.g. their new leader could tern out to be fantastic. But the default position is that they have been receiving almost no media attention, are likely to loos seats this may, and are likely to receive even less attention after that, by the GE a lot of their 2015 votes could be up for grabs, and it looks lite a lot will go to the Conservatives.
Thatcher (1987) had an adjusted approval of 60.5% which delivered a majority of 102 (a landslide) for a third term.
Major (1992) had an even higher adjusted approval of 61.9%, but could only eke out a majority of 21, for a fourth term, albeit contrary to almost all expectations.
Corbyn & allies aren't patriots.

Previous iPods could play video, but with the advent of the Classic, you had to buy a $50 cable to do so. Throw in the ludicrous prices of Apple accessories, and that cured me of Apple in a hurry.
The Sony Minidisc was a far superior music player, but I had to carry a big bag with all my discs in it, whereas the iPod is a far more convenient device.
It's not about the money anymore. It's about culture and identity.
Which means voters will never sacrifice more immigration for more money in the current climate.
Perhaps never again.

Breaking News: Sarah Palin has endorsed Donald Trump in the GOP primary, helping him appeal to Tea Party loyalists
http://nyti.ms/1T2ddnW
It's official.
The question is - does it matter?
Many thanks for that. Most interesting.
Let's call their bluff. Fuck 'em.
I dislike his EUphilia, and new Labour-lite social policy but, putting that aside, I think he's at heart a patriot, a monarchist, a strong believer in family, his community and his country and I identify with his Shire Tory roots.
But:
1. Branstad came out saying he wants Cruz to lose the Iowa caucus.
2. Branstad hanging out with Trump family sporting "Make America Great Again"
https://twitter.com/joshuaalevitt/status/686936955905376257
Last time Branstad endorsed someone was Dole in 1996.
They tried something along those lines, but found it added nothing, and their dataset wasn't complete enough anyhow. [I think LotO ratings were not polled until comparatively recently, whereas they had PM ratings going back to 1945]
They expect to issue a ruling in late June.
I fear Corbyn is in the same territory with Labour reshuffles.
Endorsements matter only in close races, providing that they haven't been banked already to make the race close in the first place (like Cruz and evangelicals).
David William Donald Cameron
.Incidentally if Corbyn could win a Labour leadership Phillip Davies 100/1 could win a Tory leadership contest with the rank and file provided he could get enough Tory MP`s support initially which of course he won`t.Davies appears to be one of the few Tory MP`s prepared to genuinely take on the politically correct lobby and that is one of driving reasons behind Trumps support with the republican base in the USA
The NY Times suggests she still has significant pull in Iowa.
