It was a one horse race because fifa set it up that way. The dice were loaded on this one.
Apologies I’ve done no research into the procurement process but I guess no one would go up against SA as their pockets would never be as deep? Surely there must be some positives…yes I’m playing devils advocate

Aren't they just the conduit between you and whoever the warrantee is with?
Possibly, but its a car in with a main dealer. "the part is broken, but not broken enough to be replaced under warranty". We apologise for the mis understanding that we said we would fix it, but now we arent going to....blah blah blah

Really cannot be bothered with the tedious task of going back and forth so will no doubt end up replacing the part myself.

I take it that's aimed at me?
Does it matter if it is?
I haven't read the thread to see what was or wasn't said, and whilst I confess you have irritated me many times, I also value your input (on most subjects) especially instructional.
Just let it go, lifes too short about what people might or might not say. :)

Sounds to me like the manufacturer won't pay them to replace something the manufacturer doesn't deem "fully broken".
The dealership is a third party and financially indiependant of the manufacturer. In my experience, anything to do with VAG financial services is a nightmare and often requires an arguement.:)

Con artists

I mean dentists

Root canal needed. Being referred to a clinic as it's too complex to do there apparently.... Unless I go private when it's not too complex 😂

The father and stepmother of poor little 10yr old Sara Sharif.
You know, the one's that tortured her for years, broke many of her bones, burned her with an iron, broke her back TWICE with a cricket bat, bit her multiple times and so on.
We are having to pay to keep them alive for decades and I find that more than irritating.
It's just wrong.

That poor little girl, I find this so utterly sad and distressing.
Just get them off our planet, please.

The process has changed now, no more bids which were open to bribery, etc so now they just choose one country. For this bid, as the 2030 WC is being played in Europe and Africa and 3 opening games in S America, only countries in Asia and Oceania could put them forwards. Australia withdrew so only the Saudi bid remained.
