Done👍🏻

That’s bugered her chances then 😀

ELB was perfectly within his rights to bring this to our attention and we will see what will happen. I expect expensive Fitasc sporting sadly will decline even further in the U.K. as ground owners and shooters will vote with their feet. +1

I had the 3 litre diesel version which was superbly comfortable and a very quick motor however we live in a rural area in the U.K. and it was almost impossible to keep the mice out and from attacking the electrics. I never had any problems with tyre wear 16,000 and hardly touched when I got rid of it. As regards snow and mud I think it would depend on what tyres you have on but would only describe it as a light off roader. Fuel consumption was also good 40 mpg plus.

Oh for the days when we had a news blackout until the facts were sorted out and gone into!

Turkeys and Christmas comes to mind!

Don’t know why they keep trying to change it, it was fine as it was. New version more difficult to navigate!

Exactly! I’d sooner trust a cop with a gun than a maniac with a samurai sword!

It’s not fair to ask the Police to put their lives at risk to tackle a guy with a samurai sword armed only with tasers. It all needs sorting out the Police needs guns and the authority to use them without redress in this type of situation.

There’s a lot of talk from the politicians and pundits saying that we need to be building many more houses to satisfy demand due to population growth driven by immigration. Also there is a lot of pressure on agricultural land from so called green energy initiatives like solar, wind farms and pylons. Where will this end though? When we have concreted over the whole countryside? What about food production? Are we going to import all of our food? Nobody takes a longer term view - it’s all short term and lining somebody’s pocket!

Saw one at Sporting Targets Bedfordshire yesterday and one at home in South Lincs. whilst walking the dog this morning. Always a thrill to see them arrive.

Yes you can ring up and make an appointment to go and see what you are interested in. They also have an open viewing the weekend before the auction. They have two types of auction, the first runs for two days and you can go there and bid in the traditional way or you can book a telephone bid or bid on the internet. The second auction has a closing date a couple of weeks after the first and is a sealed bid ie. you offer what you think via their web site and the lower guide price is normally the starting price. Bear in mind that what you offer has about another 30% on top with commission etc. so it’s not so cheap as it first appears.

Best comb raisers in my opinion are the Isis ones, they raise the comb but do not stick out at the sides like some throwing the cast out.

I was very sorry to hear the sad news about Paddy he was a legend of clay shooting and another one gone. I didn’t know him personally but of course knew of him and saw him around at various shoots over the years. He was one of the established top shots when I started clay shooting some 40 years ago. I understand that when Grimsthorpe shooting ground first started doing competitions years ago he helped Mark set the courses and would not compromise on the difficulty level and helped establish the fine reputation that ground had for top notch targets. R.I.P Paddy.

Whist talking about roost shooting I’ve noticed quite a lot happening on a Sunday afternoon and evening near us. Is this the done thing or am I old fashioned?
