Surely the
Sale of Goods act has been superceded with SOGAS act?

Anyway, that aside, I know chapter 9 of the Data Protection Act more-or-less inside out.

I used to love it when firms phoned up for my misses, but "couldn't tell me the name of the company they were calling from" due to the Data Protection Act.

I used to ask which section they were quoting from etc...

It used to get me right down, as one particular firm (Loans.co.uk) couldn't even pronounce their own name correctly (once I had convinced them that the DPA wasn't relevant to them) and they would phone at 7am on a fucking Saturday.

One day, I even had a recorded delivery junk mail from them.

No matter how many times they were told that if I wanted a loan or my misses did, we would phone up and arrange one. I'm not the idiot out of the 'picture loans' ad, if I don't need a loan, no amount of cold calling is going to make me take one.

Anyway - /rant.
