  1. @Southam Auctionsyou should sell some of your guns through PW!! I don't have an issue with someone buying and selling guns (although it should be on the trade section if trading). But the suggestion that the OP is being dishonest to help sales is...
  2. Hmm... Interesting post. So @Little Chopper what's the true story here please.
  3. I have removed another post from this topic, and having considered it for a while I think it's time to close it now. A lot has been talked about (some areas many times) but things have become personal at times and this is not OK. I appreciate there are some strong feelings, and in general we try and let topics flow. But having run for 12 pages, I don't think progress is now being made and I just don't feel another 12 pages would help. I would point out that this isn't a BASC forum and whilst representatives do post on here, I'm not sure this is the right avenue to instigate change, although clearly the comments are read, and hopefully they will be considered.
  4. I have just read the last couple of pages on here, and there are a couple of posts that I have removed. I understand there are strong feelings however, as always on the forum please be respectful of others. Thank you.
  5. Just wanted to nip in quickly and say thanks so much for this topic. Really kind and generous of you. I am giving things some thought. At the moment my priority is to get the new server finalised and set up, before the move! I'm waiting to hear back on some costings. Really sorry about all the problems, feel like I'm letting the community down. So it is much appreciated to read this. Thank you!!
  6. I have, I'm giving it some thought. Must post on there. I have another idea, but it's a bit out there, and I'm not sure how it would work. It's really kind and appreciated. As are the posts here, it's really frustrating for me when it breaks and I feel like I'm letting people down. Thanks for the understanding and patience!! I think I will know more when I have the alternative server up and running. I think I have a pathway, but am waiting on some quotes.
  7. Thanks guys, yes the server is really sick. There are some complications with moving it over to a new one. So I am hoping it's patched up for now. But I did think that yesterday.... Sorry for inconvenience, will get over it!! But need a bit of time to focus on it and get the new server setup and data transferred. Not come at a great time (these things never do!) sorry for delays with getting back online and apologies in advance if another outage before the move.

    Sorry guys, had some quite serious problems with the server fortunately all recovered but very sorry for the considerable downtime!!! Hopefully all sorted for now. New server on the horizon!! Thanks
  10. Two boxes left now, butcher's just packing them all up now 👍🤞 thanks!
  11. Thanks @HunterBen you've got it, I think I still have your address details from before. Still got a few more to sell it anyone keen drop me a PM or reply on here thanks! 🙂
  12. They are our rare breed barbados blackbellies. I am selling whole boxes which will weigh minimum 12kg fully butchered and vacuum packed. They are £145 including 24hr delivery to England&Wales, or £130 if I can deliver myself more locally (West Wiltshire/Bath area). Cut spec is: Whole legs bone in x2 Whole shoulders bone in x2 Mince (from the breast likely 1.5kg) Loin chops Rack french trimmed x2. Because this batch are a bit smaller to make up weight will include some extra cuts as appropriate. Sold a lot through PW over recent years, and have a few to shift this time. The meat is delivered chilled in insulated packaging having not been frozen. Thanks sorry for lack of notice👍 need any orders by close of play Monday evening, as will be shipping Tuesday morning- thanks!
  13. I remember too! Also remember historically quite a lot of scepticism, not on here I don't think, about these migrations. Definitely seems to be more awareness. It's a cool sight!
  14. Saw the same Sunday morning albeit considerably smaller numbers maybe about 5-7000. What you saw sounded truly epic. Two flightlines here constant stream for about half an hour, 7.15-7.45. As you and others have said, they are migrating pigeons. There is a good page here with a bit of info: https://www.birdsofpooleharbour.co.uk/winter-birding-with-birds-of-poole-harbour-woodpigeon/ They fly over the channel to Spain/ Portugal. No one seems to know origins probably Scandinavian pigeons, as our British woodies don't tend to go far. In my experience they do sometimes hang around enroute, but not for more than a few days, so don't get hopes up about building a bag, but right now should be peak migration.
