  1. Police officers do not make such decisions on which calls they attend, that's an officer in the control room, usually Oscsar 1 or 2 and they are checked on their responses and decisions by a separate team that have access to their comms on a daily basis.
  2. No - blaming the individual responsible (and there will be such a person) will not "solve" the problem but it might make make others think twice if they knew that they will be held accountable.
  3. So let's simply pass the buck? Who is responsible then? I actually have 2 friends that are social workers and if they spent less time going on team building exercises and social events/back patting parties then more cases could be sorted. "Cases will be dropped to free up space" if "thought" not to be serious enough - that's it in a Nutshell surely - who made that fateful decision cos they could not have been more wrong. It's high time people started taking responsibility for their actions or lack of and stopped hiding behind weak excuses and large organisations.
  4. I would have thought it's more likely to be the cocking dogs/rods or simply the hammers need oiling, if it's the firing pins you will see drag marks on the ignition cap, any of these problems are relatively easy fixes.
  5. Don't normally carry them home tbh, if you need to check zero etc then allow for the power curve you're going to start worrying, 40 shots tops is not really practical IMO for serious hunting and even worse for plinking/target work. You were asking about buying your first PCP and the Ultra was mentioned, I simply pointed out that it may not be ideal but if you are happy with the shot count fair enough.
  6. Social services were informed by her teacher but dropped the investigation when they found she had been removed from her school for home tutoring. Am I alone in thinking that this act would have made me more determined to investigate? Whoever made that decision should be charged with dereliction of duty leading to manslaughter, yet another incident of our Social Services costing the tax payer nearly 13 billion and doing sweet FA. Heads need to roll.
  7. Noooo, show everything - not criticising you Sir but rather hoping that my hours spent making curry's may be of some use.
  8. Chicken Tikka Masala typically has Kashmiri chilli powder rather than Paprika in it, from memory about 1 tsp per 500 ltr masala and is the colour of Tightchokes, we are used to it being red as red dye is added in BIR style offerings. For a belter look up LATIFS INSPIRED CTM without base gravy on youtube, easy to make and your other half will think you are Gordon Ramsay and get all fruity 😶.
  9. Interesting colour (though technically it should be that colour but most offerings have red dye in them) but where's the peppers, salad,onions etc. Own up, is it a value meal for one?
  10. Tin hat firmly on, but what sort of curry is that?
  11. Mostly made by Nikko I believe , didn't Winchester build them a larger factory to produce these guns and a few Nikko workers kept a smaller unit next door making Nikko branded guns - read somewhere that the Nikko guys used to cherry pick the best wood and various metal parts for their branded guns?
  12. But what's the shot count? 40 on a good day?
  13. Thank you, had a quick research though and found that Yeo Valley is now a collection of 130 farms!!
  14. I think that the instructions on oven chips is often a little optimistic, I would imagine it's deliberate so your average housewife thinks they wont take as long to cook. Aldi have some entertaining times in the past, some of their frozen chicken strips say 30 minutes but if you try that they can still peck you as you put em on your plate.When I do chips (rarely these days) I deep fry then put them on kitchen tissue in a warm oven, then heat a frying pan with salt, tomato powder, curry powder or whatever flavour you fancy then throw the chips in, pop the lid on and shake/heat them for a couple of minutes.
  15. If you could ask that would be helpful 👍.
  16. Oven chips are the work of Beelzebub himself IMO (unless you deep fry em)
  17. Difficult to boycott Arla, we are trying so today we bought Yeo Valley milk then found out that they are owned by Arla!! According to one article I read Tesco have been using milk with the additive since July - there is no legislation that says it has to be stated on the bottle/carton. Faceache clip reckons millions are already refusing to buy milk from Arla farms as no long term tests on Bovaer have been completed.Tesco, Aldi and Morrisons are all supplied by Arla and it's not just milk, butter etc will also be treated.

    TV woes.

    Get a second hand firestick if you have a smart TV, around £20, get rid of your TV Licence then just watch all the free channels, Netflix, ITVX,NOW etc etc.
  19. I put Beef Stew first but reading the "proper word from an EU country threw me as the UK is no longer a EU country so Goulash seemed more likely than Beef Stew which is an English (non EU) country? Is there a consolation prize for over thinking the question? 😀.
  20. Agree, but sometimes it's fun. SIL had a M4? M Sport and it would burble along nicely at UK speed limits but hit the fun pedal and all hell would break loose, cheap thrill till you get the bill for servicing and tyres.
  21. You can buy a slow cooker for £20, if it was a real game changer I would assume anybody with enough brain cells to form a duo would already have one? What is lacking is the inability to use such things IMO. Besides, if I lived in Lincolnshire I would live on Haslet - can't get the stuff for love nor money round here 😡.

    Xmas bonus

    I would imagine that the cost of organising/distributing the £10 is higher than the bonus. Doesn't even cover energy price increases for a fortnight.
