  1. Possibly there is more one union in the workplace so both would have their H&S rep.There two in my work and both have reps,time and again they have to push management to get things done including getting the fire alarm system functioning fully.This took over a year with the local manager putting his fingers in his ears shutting his eyes pretending the problem didn't exist.
  2. Stayed at premier inn a couple of times when away at a comp,never told them anything.Took my guns in a large trolley bag,when not in the room they were chained to the handles on the bath.
  3. I had some viking winter tyres on a yaris a few years back with the plan of changing over for summer tyres.In the end couldn't be bothered and just left the winters on for more than two years still plenty tread on when I sold the car.
  4. Was the tappets not just the gen 1 ones,they had to be redone every now and again.
  5. Sacs I know have challenged this but basically police scotland don't seem to care.I'm unaware if any other shooting reps are on this or not.
  6. I had a gen 1 jap import a few years back,the combination of flat floor no gear stick (column mounted auto) and a sun roof made a pretty decent shooting truck,it got me in and out of places I probably shouldn't have.Now got a 2004 gen 2 without the sun roof and with manual gearbox which I enjoy driving other than the low 20's mpg.
  7. Even better strawberries.
  8. Yeah use it along side two crow decoys,it stands on a base handy for on top of fence posts.
  9. I've got one from asda similar to this when it was discounted after Halloween,think it was a couple of quid.
  10. Lifted this from stalking directory this is an official Police response that is floating round the internet, names withheld to protect the incompetent... Dear Mr xxxxxx I understand that you have recently applied for the renewal of your firearm and shotgun certificates but have raised question over the new medical evidence procedures. As you will appreciate, medical evidence forms an important part of the overall assessment of an individual's suitability to be entrusted with guns. On the 1 April 2016, a new national system was introduced to improve information sharing between the Police Service and the Medical Profession. When a person applies for renewal or grant of a firearm and shotgun certificate, the Police now write to their medical practise to establish if that person suffers from any relevant medical issues. A request is also made that a firearm or shotgun reminder code be placed on that persons medical record in case of any future concerns. Police Scotland have no control or responsibility for any fee that a medical practise may or may not choose to charge for this service, albeit I appreciate that this is a contentious subject. If no response or reply is received from the medical practise in respect of the request for information on relevant health conditions, further enquiry will be made with medical practise to establish why. If it transpires that the medical practise are refusing to release the information following dispute over a fee, that becomes a matter for the applicant and the medical practise to resolve. Chapter 10 of the Home Office Guide on Firearms Licensing Law 2016 states that before granting or renewing a firearm certificate, the chief officer of police must be satisfied that the applicant can be permitted to have the firearm(s)/ammunition in their possession without danger to the public safety or to the peace. This is provided under 27(1) of the Firearms Act 1968. Section 28 (1) of the Act makes similar provision in respect of shotguns where a shot gun certificate shall be granted or, as the case may be, renewed by the chief officer of police if he is satisfied that the applicant can be permitted to possess a shot gun without danger to the public safety or to the peace. In both instances the Chief Officer of Police needs to be satisfied that no information exists that would preclude an individual's access to guns. Without confirmation that the individual does not suffer from any relevant health conditions, this satisfaction level cannot be met. In these circumstances the Police Scotland national policy decision is that the firearm or shotgun certificate application will not be routinely granted or renewed but referred to the National Firearms Licensing Unit for final decision and potential refusal. If an individual's firearm or shotgun certificate should be close to expiry, then the onus rests on that individual to make suitable lawful arrangements for the secure storage of their firearms or shotguns prior to that expiry date and to that final decision being made. Where an individual's application for grant or renewal of a firearm or shotgun certificate is refused, they are notified in writing and have opportunity to appeal that decision in the terms contained within Section 44 of the Firearms act 1968 as amended. I hope I have answered your query but if you have any further concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Yours Sincerely Mxxx xxxxxxxx Firearms Licensing Inspector Divisional HQ Queen Street Aberdeen AB10 1ZA
  11. That is the guidance I got the quotes from,point 6 bottom of page 6.
  12. If the GP feels unable to participate on the basis of a conscientious objection, or for any other reason, they should refer the patient to a colleague or discuss the issue with the firearms officer in the absence of a colleague e.g. single handed GP Practice. If no colleague is willing or available, the GP should inform the Police immediately that they will not be able to complete the form. In the unlikely event that this arises the Police should discuss with the applicant/certificate holder how to obtain adequate medical information. The applicant or certificate holder should not be disadvantaged, nor the application delayed, by a GP’s refusal to provide medical information.
  13. From current police scotland guidance GP failure to respond to police letter 6. If the GP does not respond to the Police letter, it cannot be assumed that there are no concerns. This may adversely impact on the applicant and could result in further contact by the applicant and/or by the Police firearms licensing departments because the Police will not have the clinical information they require to complete their checks.
  14. It came up on the stalking directory and I did a search and found police scotland's guidance which says without hearing from the GP nothing would be done,I believe Sacs are on it as are probably the other organisations but they seem to have dug in their heels.
  15. Different maybe but firearms legislation is UK/Westminster controlled so the GP thing should be the same.As I said police Scotland are insisting on hearing from GP's before proceding,don't know if the English forces are doing the same.
  16. Police Scotland are insisting that if they don't hear back from your GP your application/renewal will go no further till they do.
  17. A bit slow in taking off again distracted by a free meal.
  18. Yeah see quite a few various BOP lying about the four foot having come down for the previous road kill only to join it.
