People forget what they were like between 1997 and 2010.

Its not just Chinese "honey". Most sold in large UK supermarkets shows origin as "European", this is mainly eastern Europe and comprises of sweet syrup. If you want to compare the products, buy genuine English honey and try it, the taste and consistency is very different. We buy some honey locally from known bee keepers, but also Black Bee honey via Amazon.

Happy New Year to you Simon and I am looking forward to your 2025 video escapades.👍 There were some big rats in that video.

Its really a pointless exercise, it might get you an upgrade on an aeroplane , or a table reservation in a posh restaurant, but thats about all. No annual stipend, no free parking, no discount at Tesco, etc. I have refused mine every time they offer me one.😎

Looks like a great replacement for the "auld bitch", there is no doubt that a dog makes most things better. Its a joy to see them work and enjoy it. Look forward to seeing more reports of her progress, she is still a young bitch, good luck.👍

Very impressive, it just shows how much lead you have to give to some birds.👍

Its sad that you have received unwarranted criticism for your videos , I believe this is quite common for a lot of similar videos on You Tube, especially the Australian ones (camels, cats, dogs, etc). Its a shame that those offended, just don't stop watching them, instead of being abusive. The point about your shooting areas being identified and poached, I think is a common risk. Members who have posted reports and photos on PW, have been concerned about similar problems. I have also enjoyed your videos, especially the wildfowling and the development and performance of your excellent dogs. Hopefully you will reconsider and perhaps return again in the future. Thanks for all the great content over the years and you will be missed.

It does depend if you want to work or retire. There are different conditions of entry to most countries, depending on your choice, you would be wise to investigate these asap. You can't just walk in. A big advantage of the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, is they basically speak English, so no " learn the language" problems. Friends who have moved into Europe over the years have said the biggest problem is learning the language. Good luck.

""The Act places new safety duties on social media firms, search engines, messaging, gaming and dating apps, and pornography and file-sharing sites." " I don't think "hobby" forums like ours are what they are aiming at. This forum is well moderated, has clear Rules and you have to be a member to post.

Thats a fine catch, they do fight hard, they are like a sports car with their shape and power.

In fairness, if you don't tell them, they don't know.

I don't know anyone who would use an air rifle over about 50yards. 145 yards is almost a dream and such a clean shot. We are but amateurs.😊

Two masked burglars stole a pick up and quad bike from a farm on the Windsor Castle estate. Who does such things ? 🙄

In any form of speculation/gambling the mantra has to be that you only speculate/gamble what you are prepared to lose. I invested in bitcoin in 2014 and sold in 2021, my return was very good. I considered reinvesting, but felt that the whole system was getting shaky and exposed to fraud/hacking, etc. I think its more vulnerable now than it was then.

Its surprising how many farmers lose equipment soon after the hare coursers have been around. Its a common "knock on" effect. We have found them in the early hours around buildings, "looking for me dawg". Police called, not interested.
