  1. I renew my licence on line and the new licence is on my phone should anyone ask to see it. It takes a few minutes to do and the EA email around renewal time with a link to their renewal page.
  2. The likelihood of a member of public knowing what the two certificates look like could raise issues. Would a computer generated official looking document be accepted? I know specimen documents could be available for voting centres but in all banks, post offices and building societies etc?
  3. If this were the case, officers would be comparing divorce petition names against certificate holders in every area. Is there a database including both situations? If not it must be a huge job, particularly in urban areas.

    NHS rant

    ‘The lack of investment in basic services by the Tories is utterly appalling and often only apparent when we are unfortunate enough to use them. ‘ Yet after 27 years of Labour in Wales we have a far worse NHS service. Routine waits are longer, A&E waits are longer, GP access is poorer. I wonder how the new Government will fair.
  5. Welcome to PW. I’d say simply speak with your local Firearms Licensing Unit. They will advise. Or you could just apply for a license and take your chances.
  6. He’s probably been told by his very expensive barrister that by pleading guilty asap, ‘only’ having 41 images (most of these paedophiles have hundreds), having mental health issues and being of previously good character his chances of a suspended sentence or community service is better than fair. Personally I think he ought to spend time behind bars, a couple of years at least.
  7. Thanks. We’ve seen a fair few of these this year, initially thinking it was a queen wasp.
  8. The Welsh Game Fair site is saying the Fair is postponed until 2025. Anyone know why?
  9. He was probably just using it to check guns he liked the look of.
  10. ‘kill off a lot of Sunday once a month shooters which we don’t need’ Why don’t we need them? What’s wrong with shooting once a month, be it clays or live quarry? Some people have very busy lives, work, family other hobbies etc and can only find time once a month. How does it harm other shooters who can spend more time shooting?
  11. Bear in mind this is in Wales. The Welsh Government, Labour for the past 25 years, does not like guns (weapons in the article) and does not like shooting. It tried to license game bird release recently. It would not surprise me if it saw this as a splendid idea and one to take forward, just to be awkward, to make it even more difficult for shooters. I know the Welsh Government doesn’t make the firearms law but it might well have the ear of the next UK government. Just a thought.
  12. Done, but just 11,700 signed….it’s got a long way to go before it’s taken seriously!
