You dont know how to find a farm?

I have nothing but praise for DPD, even during the pandemic when Royal Mail all sat at home DPD were still delivering next day, had a parcel from mid wales to Bucks within a day. I am currently having a set of brake shoes re-lined, they are irreplacable - I have asked that the company doing the work use DPD to deliver them back and I'm happy to pay the extra. Our local DPD guy could not be nicer.

No they are not, as a call is received the handler types details into their computer, normally just key words, if the report is considered serious (less than 10%) then a report is written and passed on to the senior officer in charge, they then decide what, if any, action is to be taken. You may be confusing 999 calls.
-
No, it really is not. Where reports of using a gun on land where you have permission is involved all that is recoded is that a member of the public called and at what time, the call handler may, at their discretion, pass details on to Oscar 2 (the handlers immediate superior) if they deem nessesary but the days of being given a reference number to quote should you be approached by a police officer are long gone. I have family in the police call centre and last year I made an official complaint about this very situation, local FEO was demanding that we report and get a reference number when we intended to shoot in a public place (a park) but the call centres were not even logging the calls. I have an email somewhere from the complaints commision admitting that the FEO had given out of date advice and that no reports are longer logged or required.

These seminars, before walked up was illegally threatened??? As for the RSPB I would'nt trust them to tell the time in a room of clocks, had dealings many years ago with them.
-
Maybe because they know it would be like peeing into the wind, a useless waste of the groups financial resources and time?
-
Oh, a seminar....that should help no end. There is so much that BASC could do to fight increasing pressure on shooting, they just choose to sit on their hands (and huge fighting fund), ask them how much they have in the bank, couple of years ago it was several million in the fighting fund alone, also ask how many days free sghooting they provide for select MP's under the guise of introducing those in poweer to the sport, the vast majority of these MP's have been shooting all their lives.

Baikal TO3-63 Hammer gun 16b £80.00
bruno22rf replied to kalamara41's topic in Guns for Sale (Private Sales)
Pretty sure that's a TULA. TOZ stands for Tulsky Oruzeiny Zavod which translates to TULA Arms Factory, better quality than your average Baikal. -
All very interesting but totally irrelevant in my area, if you inform the police that you are shooting their new policy, as of approx 18 months ago, is not to even log your call thus keeping no record or reference. The old system, where you would be given a URN (unique reference number) that you could quote for instant clarification, has been scrapped. The BASC fighting this? pull the other one.
-
Well if BASC are on the case we can all sleep a whole lot easier, in fact I would go so far as to suggest that within a century or so events like this will rarely happen - but dont quote me on the time frame.

Income tax was introduced to pay for War with France, somehow makes me happier paying it.

IMHO Legal cover is a total waste of money. It will not pay if you want to take someone to court and only offers very limited assistance if the situation is reversed. Had a woman reverse in to me a few years back who said that she saw me on the phone (I was, parked in a bay on the phone to my wife), her insurance offered to go 50/50 even though I came to the conclusion that if she saw me, why did she reverse into me? my legal cover kicked in and a solicitor contacted me a while later to suggest that 50/50 was to be agreed as it's the cheaper option. I totally refused and said that I would take her to court myself then also sue the solicitor for not fighting my corner, they backed down and her insurance paid the total claim.

Action could be tidied up quite easily, £100 to reblue the tubes then make a nice enough gun for a beginner, engraving is certainly very medalist looking so maybe Fabarm made some medalists?
-
Pretty sure this comes down to poor quality Dog food, cheaper brands are full of flavourings that remain as they pass through your dogs body, the resulting egg thus still smells tasty to any passing dog.
-
Most likely not allowed to identify the gun but I know of one that can be pushed way over 12ftlb using nothing but a penny piece to turn a srew that's right in front of your face.

8 months I waited for my licence to be renewed (medical grounds), I tried hundreds of times to ring but never once got through so eventually logged a complaint, 8 months and 3 days exactly when they responded telling me that I needed an eye test and it was to be completed within 14 days. Not one optician had any appointments on their "humphrey" machine (field of vision) for at least 2 months, absolute nightmare. The DVLA should be sacked to a man, lets not forget that the shortage of HGV drivers was mainly due to DVLA not processing licences.

Buy a selection of cheap new drills from say 8mm upwards and practice sharpening them while new, it's quite a skill but fairly easy to learn.

As a fully grown man I feel embarressed to admit that I was often in tears watching them work, 5 days on the ward has cured me of a lifetime of ignorance.

Having just come out of Hospital (cardiac ward) I have had the honour of watching the nurses (mainly Indian, Asian and Oriental) caring for end of life patients. During my stay 3 people passed away in my section of the ward of 6 patients. The devotion and care that these nurses display is truly humbling to witness and has changed my opinion of the NHS, it can and does get it right more often than not and we should support it in any way that we can so I'm hoping this thread does not become another NHS beating stick. The food is still terrible though so there are areas for considerable improvement 😃.

Totally agree, I often have posts/comments removed for stupid reasons, last one was going off topic - a discussion had taken a naturally wider scope of views and opinions yet mine was the only one removed.

We tried a similar product a few years back, the Dogs would not drink water with the cleaner in it.

Thanks for confirming OPP, just about to start stripping my laptop.
