Have you tried the Stokes range of pickles and chutneys? I particularly like their Sticky Pickle but they do a good red onion chutney. I think that Tesco stock their range. I also agree with bruno22rf that the Aldi caramelised onion chutney is brilliant. OB

Noting that you are only 31 years old, I sincerely trust that when you get into your seventies, you will think very differently and hopefully are still quite active and cognisant. As Marsh man has said, it`s all about being active and keeping oneself busy both physically and I would add mentally. I`m a similar age to Marsh man and my phone tells me that I average between 3 and 5 miles walking daily and try also to keep my mind active, so hopefully I`ve got a few years yet until I am unable to continue my current lifestyle, but one never knows what`s ahead so best to make the most of our time on this planet and take each day as it comes.

Obviously Elizabeth knows you better than most Dave

If anyone is interested, there is a cracking 20 bore MacNab Highlander for sale on Guntrader. Not sideplated, but is multi-choked which is a bit special for a Highlander and at a good price of £800. These are very underrated guns and are a joy to both own and use. Sorry, being a technophobe, cannot do links. OB

I even welcomed him to PW as well, what a plonker Rodney Also, I did notice your `not so subtle` use of `old` in italics

It`s an age thing, plus a missed visit to Specsavers. You just wait until you become a later septuagenarian

How did you know that ? Did I miss something in the various posts?

A lovely gun there which you`ll regret selling if it does go. I had something similar by way of a Woodward `The Automatic` with the underlever cocking mechanism, albeit non ejector, but a joy to use nevertheless, as attached photos. First photo before restoration of the stock and a new fore-end. Good luck with the sale. OB

I trust that you`re not in the UK as collared doves are protected here. OB

Welcome to PW. Look forward to your future posts.

Welcome to PW

I’m with you on this one LB. All our road signs are shown in miles per hour, so why on earth have they changed the distance signs to kilometres? I’ve yet to see any gun advertised with barrel lengths and LOPs other than in inches. My car tells me when one of its tyres is underpressurised (normally when the temperature drops) but registers it in KPa whereas my electric pump is calibrated in PSI, so a quick calculation is required to convert from metric to imperial. Being old school, I really have to think hard in converting centimetres into feet and inches, still in the 20th. Century for me. On the subject of depth of snow, does anyone remember the female TV presenter on one of those morning programmes a few years ago turning to a male weather forecaster and asking, ”What happened to that 8 inches that you promised me last night” The laughter of all the crew could be heard as she clearly didn’t realise what she said. OB

Welcome to PW. There’s a wealth of knowledgeable folk on here, so hopefully your questions will be answered. OB

If I was serious about selling a gun on here, which I have on many occasions, I would be looking back on the forum regularly for any responses and at least have the curtesy to answer any queries raised. I wonder if our 2nd poster will be back any time soon OB
