Ever considered a car windscreen wiper motor?lol

What about the tape they use to seal the seams on Gore-Tex clothing?

Dunno if its the same as Stormsure?......but I have used Aquasure for some years on neoprene waders and boots and found it a bit unsightly but forms a permanent watertight repair.

More pictures!

Attach any label you like to a political ethos but in the end individual greed, avarice, jealousy and selfishness will always overcome the nobler human traits......because that is what human beings do best!

This was a coalition government not a Tory one, with no parliamentary majority there was no point in having a vote if your gonna lose it! ........and the smart money says the Lib Dem part of the coalition would have voted (with the Labour class warriors!) against repealing the hunting act.

Absolutely David! I admit I have despaired of the tide turning, but this appears a positive chink of light! Hopefully Avery's attack on Grouse shooting will now be seen for what it is.......an anti shooting/class war..........at the expense of wildlife!

The vote is skewed because this is a shooting forum and most shooters think Labour would put further restrictions on shooting and gun ownership, conservatives are less likely to do so!

The question of who bankrolls who is an important issue because whoever is bankrolling individual MP's or parties is the piper who's calling the tune! Labour spent hundreds of parliamentary hours to get a ban on hunting into law but spent a only a few hours to decide to go to war.....who do we imagine that was payback to then? I believe the protectionists are bunging individual MP's and parliamentary parties to further their agendas, perhaps fieldsports should buy their own MP's? Business bungs parliamentary parties and individual MP's with cash and non-jobs in order to protect their commercial interests, the unions do similar in order to look after their and their members interests! To blame the trade unions for all I'lls is at best naive! Years ago if you were an employer or an employee you knew where your alliegences lay.........nowadays, since "new labour" the lines are blurred (if not non-existent?) I am (was!) a worker, trade union supporter and believer in social justice so my natural alliegences lay with labour, but I am a lifelong fieldsportsman and I can't now bring myself to vote for labour.......no one now represents my beliefs, so where do I cast my vote now?

Solicitors couldn't charge you the exorbitant cost (for an office junior to do the work) If they turned it around in a matter of days or hours! But it looks better (for charging clients through the nose!) if they delay for weeks and months!

Actually they look garish when in the packet but when fitted and shaped they look 'normal' and 'in keeping' but I suppose its a matter of personal taste!

Thanks for the suggestion TDS but it looks as if I'm sorted!......fingers crossed! P1

Secondary poisoning in non-target animals is not uncommon, what effect if any it has depends on the type of poison and the amount ingested, I don't know the quantity of a given poison a given animal/bird can eat in its food before it is fatal!

Immunity/resistance is developed/built up in all animals by ingesting/feeding/injecting small amounts of the active ingredient (in this case poison) in non fatal doses. In rodents, that immunity/resistance would be acquired by several non-fatal doses eaten and/or the % of active ingredient, multiple dose poisons (as opposed to acute poisons) will facilitate this. How do you suggest the mice I gave in my example ate their fill of rodenticide, they cannot bring food back up (be sick) so they must digest it! therefore it must pass through their system, but it did not kill them, Why? This example has nothing whatsoever to do with amateur or professional pest control!

It certainly wasn't the same % generally, when I worked in pest control! But that was more than 35 Years ago! As regards poison resistance as an example I had a commercial job on a chicken farm where the owners had being trying for many months (if not years?) to control a heavy (and ever increasing) infestation of mice themselves, they had a storeroom with a pallet full of sacks of a well known ready mixed rodenticide they had purchased to try to control them, which was now riddled with mice!.......they were living in their food supply!.....and there was no sign that they were suffering any ill effects!.... I believe that indicated they had built up a resistance to that particular rodenticide....and it wouldn't have mattered who put it down at baiting points, expert or amateur......it wouldn't have worked for either! But I concede that a professional should, through expertise, be more successful than an amateur, consequently the misuse of rodenticides by amateurs may also be a contributory factor to rodents developing resistance.

Because the % of poison in the premixed rodenticide available to the general public is reduced in line with H&S legislation, compared to the stronger professionally available stuff. Understrength over the counter rodenticide is/was probably a major contributory factor poison resistance built up in rats and mice (so called super rats and super mice) well that's my understanding anyway!

Well Done! I love to see old English guns sympathetically restored and given a new lease of life! Just one small criticism....in my opinion that recoil pad looks out of place (awful) on an English gun!

Break back Traps, baited with chocolate for house mice, cereal based bait for field mice, sticky boards if you know where they are most active (by appliance motors in the kitchen, under kitchen units, in airing cupboards, food cupboards etc......and a mouse can get under a door if you can get a pencil/biro under it! Poison bait from a hardware shop or other retail outlet is unlikely to work very well! P1

I'll have one for an 8 if anyone has one? Lol

Using the correct terminology is like having the correct equipment and wearing the correct clothing to suit a given shooting situation it's about standards, respect and tradition......would any self respecting gun really pay a small fortune to shoot driven Grouse and turn up wearing jeans a teeshirt carrying a pump action shotty and 3 1/2" BB bangers? Most of us use abbreviations, expletives and slang sometimes but hopefully only in a situation where it is appropriate? Now I know I'm old!

Guys, Most Browning O/U guns are (and have been for some time) supplied as manual safety, however I understand that once upon a time Browning used to supply a conversion kit with their guns in order to enable you convert it to auto safe, does anyone have one of these kits knocking about that they are willing to sell? This is for a B425, Also after a hatched trigger shoe also for a B425. Cheers, P1

Must be the younger element and probably newcomers to the sport, using pseudo text speak! I agree it makes me cringe when I see/ hear it!

Trading standards won't want to know if its trade to trade!
