    It's called the ballot box. I heard a review of Scotlands programme of climate change initiatives on the radio this week. It sounded pretty impressive. Did I hear free / discounted travel for under 21 year old?

    Religion is just a tool, man is tribal (my gang) if there was no religion man would find another reason for conflict.

    Does that include the people who have watched the uncontrolled migration to this country that has helped to contribute to the utter mess we find ourselves today?

    Have a listen  to this French gentleman  talking. Sense about returning the boats back to France.  Drop them on the French beaches. Can they the afford to cross again  , don't think so so can't afford. To cross again. . Does. The people smugglers out of a job. , as they are been sent back all the time Does this then have a knock on effect. Why would they come to France in hopes they can get to the UK.. 

    Seems to make sense  to Me could be a win win  for France and the UK

    Anyone on here in to beach casting? I enjoy coarse fishing but never tried beach casting. Just started working out near the Suffolk coast, so keen to get some advice before giving it a try.

    Thanks

    The first thing you will notice  is the weight. Difference,  a 5 oz. Lead. Hanging  on the line,  it gets quite scary . Start with a multiplier  with. Line leveler . Can practice casting anywhere  does not have to be over water .

    Don’t think you can unless you pay for them not to be shown 

    Is the right answer  you have to pay. To go ad free , on youtube. Now. Prime  TV is doing the same. Adverts. In during films , you can pay so much extra  , not to receive  them. . These business  are wanting it both ways. You pay to advertise you product  , or as a viewer. You pay not to watch the ads .

  6. I have often noticed when placing an add. The same thing often happens  within say. 15 minutes   get this reply  " is this still for sale "   drr yes just posted it 15 minutes. Ago. . Often they are foreign  sounding. Names .

    The usual can send someone round this afternoon to  collect. It .

    They. Don't even know were you  live , they could be at the other end of the country 😃😃

    I still have my Canon T70 35mm camera and, I believe, a few lenses to go with it. It's now surplus to requirements but I have no idea what it's worth.

    If the camera is not worth much , the lenses. Still can be. The mount will be the same on digital  Canon cameras  . So may work. In Auto re light meter and some just manual focus. All depends on the pin contacts  on lens and camera .

    Indeed..... and the actual effect on the birds and animals that have evolved to live in the habitat the rewilders wish to change

    Agree 100 %  

  9. Up until the last 2 years. We could have 6 nests on the sides of our house. None these last two years , they tend to not get here  ( southwest Scotland) maybe. End of April.  They are arriving in small numbers  but not building on tne side of my house .

    These. Birds fascinate me. The short period  of time they. Are here
