MOT Question

Of course. No company can be forced to do business with everyone or anyone who comes along.

Yes, lack of petrol, flat tyres, even just very dirty, insecure load, dangerous condition or load, loose seat. There are loads of perfectly acceptable reasons listed in testers manual. They may just not like the look of the vehicle or presenter.

Yes...if it's filthy or dangerous to examine.

Apparently you have to have a very good reason to refuse to sell somebody food, somebody told me it's illegal for a shop to refuse to sell food to a person without a very good reason.

Is this true, or Ball*$%&

They can say that the food is "not for sale" or has been "withdrawn from sale" to a specific person.

Or ban someone from a shop. After all, it is private property.

There's a corner 'sell everything' shop I stop at on the way to work at about 0700. One day a woman called me from the house next door and asked me to get some milk and cornflakes. She was young and appeared healthy, and was fully dressed. I thought she was taking the piss and ignored her - it was even a sunny morning. I got a mouthful about it being for the kids and didn't I care. I said I didn't. There are other shops within easy walking distance including a Savacentre. ;-)

Turns out she'd been banned from the shop for shoplifting.
