Are you saying that's their general policy? If so, do you know if they've stated that anywhere?

My experience is that they're OK if (a) it's for a small room like in a narrowboat, in which case it does actually distribute the heat reasonably well, or (b) your stove is in an alcove and you just want do divert the heat from there into the body of the room. Mine wouldn't circulate air around a reasonable sized room. Worth £40 or so I'd say.

This. It can't be right if either of the hands is on one side of the centre, because in the mirror that hand will be on the opposite side and therefore showing the wrong time. The only times when both of the hands are bang in the middle are 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock, and there are two of each of those in 24 hours. So four in total.

According to this: http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/legal-advice/tyres.html cars aren't required to have a spare wheel whether they've got run-flats or not, so I'd guess they don't have to supply one.

Was it like this? http://www.bwars.com/content/beginners-bees-wasps-ants-dolichovespula-media

Very much down to personal preference I think. For what it's worth, my own view is that for walked-up grouse the main things are gun fit (because when they flush you'll be mounting the gun very quickly) and weight (because you'll be carrying it through the heather all day). I don't think super-short barrel length is a requirement because they don't normally cross so much as fly away. So my preference would be 28" barrels - bearing in mind you also want it for pheasants - and choke in the 3/8 to 1/2 region.

The High Pheasant 20s or the High Pheasant Extreme 20s are good. Much lighter on the shoulder than Sipes and for me pattern better than Black Golds.

I think the chances of the cat actually causing damage is small, because chooks can be pretty feisty, but just to be safe could you put the small injured one in a special enclosure until it's fit?

Honda. We've a Honda "Izy" of some sort and it's excellent.

The kinetic energy based definition of "lethal" sounds reasonable, but defining the legal test is not straightforward.. First, the proposals in the Paper suggest 2.5J or 1.0J as the limit, which is 1.8 ft/lb and ludicrously low. That starting assumption would need to be reversed in order for the law to be sensible. Second, the real energy level of the firearm is dependent on the ammunition. Suppose someone is caught with a 9mm pistol and some home-loaded ammunition that has so little powder it can only generate 0.9J. That person should be convicted. So the energy level needs to be dependent on what the firearm is capable of, independently of the ammunition it's seized with. That raises other problems. One is that if the energy limit is too low there will be toys that are intended to propel things below the legal energy limit but that are built robustly enough to be capable of operating above the limit. Another is that the main reason for defining the limit by energy is that it is meant to make the process of proving that something is a firearm easier; but if the test is dependent on the theoretical capability of the firearm then an expert would need to give an opinion on whether a firearm is robust enough to operate above the limit, and again there will be borderline cases. A partial solution would be to have a list of calibres that are automatically deemed to be firearms.

There are some unknowns, especially how far the top holes on your bracket are above the lower edge of the bracket (I guessed 10cm) and how many of those holes there are (I guessed 2). Some other things could be material but probably don't have a big influence unless you've got an weirdly shaped bracket. Anyway, based on those guesses the tensile load for an individual one of the top fixings is going to be around 30kg, so you're well within the theoretical capability of the fixings. Who knows what they'd provide in practice in a non-ideal wall though.
