WGD wish I could share your enthusiasm for Seeland, my missus had a pair of their wellies and whilst they were fantastic for around 6 months, they pretty soon leaked after that. Unfortunately didn't keep proof of purchase so nothing doing unfortunately. Won't be buying again for sure. :-(

Must admit I've been thinking this for the past few years, we had a bout of mixy round here about 4 years ago and they seem to have struggled ever since. Same as Kyska mentioned though, I have definitely have more hare.

Only thing I've heard about this sort of thing, and I'm not sure if it's true or not, but don't keep your wellies stored in direct sunlight when you're not using them as the rubber will perish quicker due to the UV exposure. I used to abandon mine in the conservatory over the summer, but heard this and decided to tidy up a bit! Hope this helps!

I always shoot alone, don't have as much time to devote to it as I would like, but it means I can get out at a moments notice and have some me time!

I'm not far from you mate and know exactly what you mean, got home half hour ago and the car was reading -13 then, think it will be even colder tonight than last night!

Sorry to hijack the post guys, just wanted to say another thanks to NTTF, as this has helped with my Cocker forging, brilliant advice mate thanks. Not long got my lad as a rehome so trying to start from scratch with him

Not long got this fella as a rehome, hence the lead, but recall is steadily improving now (thank god!!)

I guess the Chrimbo Pressie list is a bit obvious then?? Enjoy mate

Yes, only shottie I own and I love it. All my shooting is rough shooting so it's absolutely ideal for me. Ditto the post above about the chokes, mine's half and full, in an ideal world it would probably be quarter and half, but it really doesn't worry me that much. Would I buy it again? Oh yes indeedy

Nice one guys, that's put my mind at rest, cheers!

The missus is after a Hoggs of Fife Isla Tweed jacket for Chrimbo and as no-one stocks these locally to me it's going to have to be mail order. If I remember correctly from trying on the mens range of jackets, these are really quite generous in their sizing. Has anyone else found the same, or am I confusing them with another brand? Thoughts would be much appreciated as I'm trying to avoid the obvious 'it doesn't fit' on Christmas Day. Cheers folks

Whoa there, don't get too excited just yet, I'm Lincolnshire and they are a lot slower than neighbouring Cambs. Mine was 12 weeks from interview before I had it in my hand. Be patient it will be worth the wait!

Just a quick thought, if you push your trigger forwards for a second and you hear a click, you have a selective trigger and the top barrel will now fire first. That's how the selective mechanism works on my Baikal anyhow!

Yup, same happened to me. Double decker bus ploughed into the back of my car, not very fast but obviously did a good job of remoulding the boot of my car. I was absolutely fine, but for months I got hounded by claims management people offering me compensation. Maybe I'm too honest too, but I can't get past the fact ...... it was an accident, this blame culture really ****** me off! Edited to add: If your driver is genuinely hurt and can't work, that's another thing entirely! Just my opinion though!

OK, car insurance was due for renewal, so did the confused.com bit, One Call Insurance came out cheapest by about £30 and said they would need proof of NCD so I thought no problem clicked the yes please button and bought the policy, paid for in full through my credit card. Next thing I get an email saying we want copies, scans if possible, of the back and front of both driver's licences and also the paper counterpart, along with the proof of NCD. They also asked me to sign, scan and email the schedule of insurance too. I noticed at this point that they had missed off a non-fault claim from August '09, so I amended the schedule and emailed it off with all the other documents requested having spent a whole evening doing it. Must admit I was begining to regret buying the policy at this point as I've never been asked for scans of licences before, but I complied and thought that would be the end of it. 4 days later I get a letter saying I have outstanding documents and threatening to cancel the policy, stating that they need proof of the past 5 years motoring! I thought what the hell is this? so rang them and asked. The jumped up little squirt told me that as I'd been a non-discloser about the non-fault claim in '09 they now wanted proof of the proof of the NCD. I asked him to open the PDF I had sent of my renewal notice and there it is in black and white, non fault claim August '09. I can prove I disclosed all information but they still refused to accept this. At this point I cancelled the policy as I was still well within my 14 day cooling off period. They now want to charge £55 for one months cover with admin and won't release my money for 6-8 weeks. They have also lied to me by saying I have to fill in a form stating that I will not use the issued certificate for fraudulent means, which had been mailed to me. When the letter arrives a week later I find this could all have been done by email. Surprise surprise the 6-8 weeks doesn't start until they receive this statement. I am at present lodging a complaint as I cannot involve the Insurance Ombudsman until this is done. Needless to say chaps, avoid these at all costs, they take your money, refuse to accept any fault, refuse to return what is not rightly theirs and tell lies to keep your money as long as possible. I'm 3 weeks down the line, still have not had any refund and the line manager will not even come on the line to talk to me. Disgraceful company!
