Doesn't fly. That's not what he was replying to. Do look up the word 'recommendation' in a dictionary, dear boy.
FAIL.
I think if one wishes to be pedantic my dear man you will find by use of a dictionary that the answer he gave was actually by defintion his reply to my question.
re·ply (r-pl)
v. re·plied, re·ply·ing, re·plies
v.intr.
1.
To give an answer in speech or writing.
2. To respond by an action or gesture.
3. To echo.
4. To return gunfire or an attack: The big guns replied.
5. Law To respond to a defendant's plea.
Of course it may not be a very good
answer, there may be some ambiguity in his answer, and it may be that not all of these things are absolutely necessary to comply with the UK legislation, but one point is absolutely clear by it's absence to a very direct question.
He has not stated that the Mundo is legally suitable for carrying children in it's standard form, which if that was the purpose it was designed and constructed for would have been the obvious response.
Now if we could try and do some joined up thinking......
From an earlier post my dear man
I'd suggest if it came to court the judge/magistrate would look as to what was available from the manufacturer for the purpose of carrying children, what they recommend, and be guided by that.
rec·om·mend (rk-mnd)
v. rec·om·mend·ed, rec·om·mend·ing, rec·om·mends
v.tr.
1. To praise or commend (one) to another as being worthy or desirable; endorse:
2.
To make (the possessor, as of an attribute) attractive or
acceptable: 3. To commit to the charge of another; entrust.
4. To advise or counsel:
ac·cept·a·ble (k-spt-bl)
adj.
1. Worthy of being accepted.
2.
Adequate to satisfy a need, requirement, or standard; satisfactory.
So you see my dear fellow, when a manufacturer recommends that you do something to comply with the law, if one fails to follow their expert advice in favour of one's inferior knowledge then one is rather leaving oneself open to prosecution by the relevant authorities.
Oh, and on a final note would you mind awfully if in future you could try not to be such a patronising, arrogant, cock, there's a good fellow
