......but thankfully existing scrutineering measures stopped the attempts, and they were reported accordingly (but we're not going to give you the data).

It's called social engineering.

It's nothing to do with the words soot face(d), those are simply the words chosen in the article to describe chimney sweeps with faces covered in soot. It's to do with the term "Hottentot" apparently (I've never heard of it) which is deemed to be offensive.

Was speaking with a chap yesterday who had been burgled last week. The thieves disabled his Ring thing with some kind of jammer.

I've heard of good reports about this - The Smokin Midge

To be clear, I fill in such things / respond accordingly. I just don't come back on here to tell everyone I have done it.

Yes. I tend to complete / fill in these things but keep schtum.

That is certainly the process that Police Scotland followed when I renewed SGC last year.

Unless you are doing something "unusual", or using your PC for work, Windows Firewall is probably enough.

Yes, completely irrelevant.

Not sure if it's still going but Ford used to give a year breakdown cover if you got the vehicle serviced at a Ford outlet. Made a pricey service much more bearable if you factored in the breakdown cover.

Thanks, I get it now. I hadn't paid proper attention to the exact wording but can see now how it's worded around flushing versus killing.

Driven bird shooting isn't affected by this, or are you meaning beaters for a rough shoot that includes ground game? Not sure I understand. Why do you think you can't go out with your lurcher in Scotland? Do you have more than 2 dogs?

Turn on the "print gridlines" option, no need to draw the lines if you don't want to

Exactly. They should have been prosecuted! And that £100K from "ecotourism" / re-wilding absolutely reeks. How much of that is from grants and subsidies? How much is simply from accommodation rental that they conveniently excluded from the shooting income aspect had it been allowed to continue? Smoke and mirrors.......
