> Hire, like rent can be either sale or purchase.



Hmm, I've never understood it that way, although granted, I have never sought to procure, nor to offer, the services of a prostitute.


"Hire, let, lease, rent, charter mean to engage or grant for use at a price. Hire and let, strictly speaking, are complementary terms, hire implying the act of engaging or taking for use and let the granting of use." http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hire

Rescue places sell animals. A pedigree breeder who sells puppies and can show that all the relevant health tests have been done on the dam and sire is being responsible. I certainly wouldn't expect them to give them away for free. And, just because they are a Kennel Club approved breeder doesn't mean that they have the animals best interests at heart. You only have to look at (most) Bassets, Pugs, German Shepherds, English Bulldogs, and watch the two programmes of Pedigree Dogs Exposed to see that Kennel Clubs still has a long way to go.

    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
    • Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮
    • The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us. Not sure why you are confused by my post, Jazzer? Did I misremember? Now it's got even more confusing because my posts have been merged and your confused emoji is shown at the bottom of the second one instead of the first 🤣
