Thanks, I’m in south west wales now. I voluntarily tried to give it up a while ago now, I can’t imagine I’d need it for a few years anyway. I just found it odd that they were asking for it with such little reason. The police on the night never said she’d claimed I’d threatened her or anything.

Thanks, unfortunately she already knows I got rid, but that would have been good! Well that’s what she ‘requested’. It wasn’t mandatory, but she says that she asks it in all cases… To be fair, I’ve no idea what she might have said to the police that night, along the lines of he threatens me, makes me feel scared etc. but nothing was mentioned to me, and obviously the next day we’re back living together (yay)

Hi, I haven’t posted for years, mainly as I haven’t really shot for years now. late last year I began divorcing my wife. A few weeks in, she started saying things to me that made me suspect she might start down the false allegations route. As I had barely used my guns in years, and wouldn’t for the foreseeable, I decide to to get rid of my four shotguns in a hurry, as I was worried what she might say. At the same time I then rang the local police station and asked if I could hand my licence in. They said no, it had to be to firearms. So I emailed firearms and asked to surrender my licence with no reply. As it happened, so far she hasn’t made any allegations. But two nights ago she rang 999 because went into her car and brought her laptop inside and she wasn’t happy about it. Utterly ridiculous, but they sent two cans and 3 cops. They said someone has to leave the house for the night. I refused as I have no local friends or family, but her sister lives locally, who she was refusing to go and stay with. They threatened me with arrest! But in the end persuaded her to go and stay with her sister. Then today, I had a call from firearms, saying the police who attended had been in contact with them, to inform them they’d been to my address. The lady told me it was standard practice when someone is getting divorced to ask someone to give up their guns and licence! I said I’d already got rid of my guns, and tried to hand in my licence. But also questioned whether this really was standard practice. She said I could hand my licence in to the local station, and I said I would when I had the time, within the next two weeks. She then tried pressuring me to do it within the next day or so, could I post it. At this point I got a bit annoyed and said I don’t see what the rush is, there’s no requirement for me to hand it in at all, I just want to. I’m not running around trying to buy stamps when I finish work late, I’ll just drop it in when I have time, unless you want to come and collect it at 7am or after 6pm. She then said that’ll be fine. Im just posting to check if others feel it’s a bit much being asked to hand in your licence and guns because you’re getting divorced? And to highlight that it happens. atb pete

Sharpen you chainsaw, knives. Make little surprises for when he wakes up, how old is he? I used to move my girls or stepsons toys around just a little so they thought they’d come to life during the night. get into a new tv series, or check out documentaryheaven.com write a book? try and sleep longer? as above, sorry it didn’t work out for whatever reason, I know from having a stepson how it can affect kids.

That’s absolutely fair enough, just seemed you were willing to class a country as bad due to their dietary choices.

Why is eating dogs bad? is it just the list of things we eat in this country that are ok? are french foods like snail, frogs legs and horse ok? what about whales? or is it just things you consider pets, so Chileans eating guinea pigs would be bad? where is the line drawn? Baby animals? Lamb, veal, suckler pig?

Nice. I’ve tapped silver birch before and made syrup, tasty enough.

People didnt obey the rules last summer and if they’re still in place they won’t this summer. People we’re allowed to travel to buy pets, so a surprising amount of people from London found pets to buy in South Wales. The only trouble is for the hospitality business owners, they cat ignore the rules as the fines would be crippling.

You have a sugar maple tree!? Or did you tap a field maple?

Shame, greenfinches have a special place in my heart after I had two as pets as a kid

Yea, it’s her not getting many words in that makes me want to give her a ‘cuddle’

Does seem like a whole load of rubbish posted in that group. I’ll still put it down though in the vain hope it could work!

I started a thread about vegans being afforded the same legal rights as religions, where have I said i worried about anything? Where have I mentioned not letting them live how they choose to?

At what point have I worried about what they think? At what point have I not let them live how they choose to?

Yea furlough had to happen, but the whole deal was you could put mortgage and other big loans on hold, or so I was under impression. So groceries and bills. Not £2500 a month. And if they were, then people should have cut back and gone without.
