The last time I saw anything like that it was on a parade square.

Smart move by stepson was moving from Bristol to Portishead where the recycling centre staff are there to help you and not themselves and friendly with it. -
Had similar - search 'A Bit Of A Do' on here - a TAVI just on 2 years ago. No problems.

Low recoil 20 bore cartridges for game
wymberley replied to Bear68's topic in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading
If this has a hole in the end for, say, a split ring then their only real use is as a fishing weight. In view of the "cyl and cyl" it might just pay to get the barrels/chokes checked as never mind the figures there is a train of thought that the '40' for TC is simply to keep things neat. Most TC barrels which throw a 40% pattern more often than not have a couple of thou' of choke; those that don't haven't and are a truly TC. -
What choke are they? If fixed could be the answer. If multi, please ignore this.

I didn't quote you - at least not intentionally - had I done so I would probably have mentioned that you are quite right in as much as the OP must have moved on by now as we haven't seen him for over 7&1/2 years.

I suppose one has to decide which is of more value: posting a considered opinion of a particular topic or glibly mentioning the initials of a Scottish/American playboy and making a pretty much universally known statement. I would imagine that the latter two unlike the former are unlikely to generate any further discussion which is the lifeblood of internet forum.

Towngun ( the original left the field in 2005) does this on occasion. No matter whether one agrees with him or not, he's always worth a read.

This ^^^ I too have been there several times and on the last occasion apart from my two sons who are some 200 miles away I was the only other family. I was discussing the situation with a lady from the local authority and I had a feeling that she recognised that I was having trouble with this one - Mum. She asked if she could give me some advice. 'Yes, please'. She then explained that in her experience most people get it wrong twice before doing the right thing the third time. This because they think that they will have failed that person and consequently have acted out of guilt instead of what in all probability is best for the 'patient'. Ditchy has it.

Don't envy anyone having to make the choice of incrementally paying the medics more or the train drivers less as both are a lose lose option. Thatcherism is to blame. Not necessarily the lady herself but between her and Heseltine they inadvertently bred greed.

Did Coltishall for 5 years and stayed on for another 4 when I came out until the call to go home could not be ignored. Shame you'll never do St Mawgan or Chivenor. Still, Lossiemouth is worth a go.

Gloucestershire suspending certificate applications

Judging by their website it suggests that it's taken some 3 years to realise that they may have made some mistakes and want to find out before anything hits the fan. -
WHAT? As the poppy is a registered trademark for the British Legion, who the hell authorised this?

Low recoil 20 bore cartridges for game

What most certainly will not help my shooting (at 80 I'm beyond help and am slowly but surely going downhill) is pointless often glib comments from you. You seem to me to express opinions that are more appropriate to the 19th century and unless you are actually shooting at sub30 yards as was the norm back then and are of the 3 pellets on average mentality. -

Yep, the only way to be absolutely certain of what's what is to pattern test it properly. Failing that a bore gauge in the hands of someone who knows how to use it will give you the nominal measurements which will give you a starting point. Still typing this but have been made aware of LB's post. Knowing how your gun performs is just another step in gaining the confidence which permits you to shoot well/better. Doesn't this contradict some of your previous posts regarding choke?
