Quote from: joe cassidy on Yesterday at 05:43:09 PMWhat I like about Premier Inns is that they normally come with a pub attached 

Having stayed in 3 Premier Inns in the last 2 weeks (Dumbarton, Dunfermline and Cirencester) they appear to have revamped and standardized their rooms so they're all the same, and the ones I stayed at didn't have pubs next door but had their own in house restaurant called 'The Social'. Evening meals and breakfast menus at all 3 were the same.

Quote from: Newportnobby on Yesterday at 09:22:16 AMOh yes, the switch for the bedside light is so high up you have to sit up to reach it

a length of string to extend the pull switch cord.

No such thing as a pull cord
Small rocker switch to the left of each bedside lamp out of reach if you want to be prone and turn the lamp on or off

    

Do we actually know what happened?  There has been radio silence from them for nearly two years.  What happened to the graphics produced for the N-Train range of Underground stock kits for example?

Maybe that's why the extractor fan was on for so long     

In hotels I keep my telephone at arm's reach for emergency lighting during the night.

As an old traveller like myself I would have thought you would take a slim line torch to light you way during the night when nature calls, And a length of string to extend the pull switch cord. Us oldies have to self improve our over night hotel/tent/dugout as per our previous experiences. :-))

Yes, I think I would raise a complaint as well. How will they know unless you tell 'em?

Having said that, I've found most Premier Inns to be pretty good, although the breakfasts can be a bit variable.

Cheers,

Chris

Get a lawyer onto this if it matters to you. Don't ask for business legal or copyright advice on a model railway forum. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Agree, and a specialist in copyright / IP to boot

Generally no - you need someone familiar with contract law to figure out the contractual position. Copyright/IP lawyers are important for many things like slander of title, arguments about derivative works and the like but "who owns X" in this kind of situation is a contract and company law matter.

Furthermore if you start with a general solicitor dealing in contract law they are obliged by their professional standards requirements to tell you if a piece of work is beyond their expertise and remit so will do so if that is the case.

Plus versus the costs of an experienced IP lawyer it would be cheaper to redraw them all 


It's all getting a year ahead of it anyway. Companies House is slow, the same things can appear in the record if a company is being converted from ltd company to privately held and so on.

When I untangled Ultima from being a ltd company it sat for months showing things overdue and everything was fine.

Quote from: GrahamB on Yesterday at 09:12:06 AMPlease, please, please can someone aquire the artwork and restart the company? It's a massive resource to lose.

Easier said than done because you have to know who owns what rights.

If the artwork was owned by the company then anyone can apply to purchase the artwork when/if the company goes bankrupt and the money will be used to help pay the creditors. Even if they were sold to the company with a royalty agreement this is the case, in fact the contract usually ends up void so the new owner doesn't have to pay the royalties any more! Plenty of musicians got screwed over by that one.

If the company is struck off then its assests go to the crown (or one or two other duchys like lancaster) and can be purchased in some cases from the relevant crown estate.
