Good shot?

The main reason for certification is the need to protect the public from guns being in the wrong hands and that should contribute to the bulk of the cost to provide that service, not the licence holder or applicant. Also how would such a charge help to bring new people into the sport. I can, in your case understand your acceptance of such an increase but it is far from what is actually going on in the authorities, or anyone else asking for such a charge.

It would have to be a very short walk lf I ate all that steak alone. Looks good though, well done on managing your meal and I hope the spaniel enjoys the walk 😄.

There is no justification to be forced to pay £500 + whatever the Doctors will eventually want and I find it difficult to understand anyone saying they would willingly pay £500 for a renewal on a shooting forum post bearing in mind one of the reasons for any charge is the concern for public safety. There are many. devices being used to reduce the number of firearms or any other commodity in public ownership, cost to reduce is always a good one to use against " the working (or retired) man". As an aside, I doubt we will be able to pay it at £2 a week.😏

Aldi check out would only let my wife and I take out one pack of paracetamol and when I said i would go out my self and come back in she said "if it it is me again at the check out I would refuse because I know you have just bought one pack". I bit my lip and left

Shooting on blood thinners was not a problem for me, I did have a semi auto and not a side by side, just in case I bruised, or a thicker coat. I suggest to carry one or two plasters in case you cut yourself and be careful of barbed wire etc if out in the fields.

😂😂

As I thought, I ( at least) am not educated enough to form an opinion like yours.

I do not get why the so called "educated liberal elite" cannot see what this country has become and especially where it is heading at a fast pace, when I and other less educated plebs see the obvious overturning of our culture and way of life and worse. I dread to think that all this is by design as opposed to a blinkered view, I am however coming around to this way of thinking.

Thought so...

Probably all the "leavers" who didn't know what they voted for I suspect. 🥱

Wind gusting very strongly here in St Helens, I also don't fancy another night of this. No damage that I can see yet other than pots and stuff blowing around the garden, I will wait till it's all stopped before I go out though.

That's very good, much better than mine. I did a white pheasant in the snow, I will try to do a more colourful one like yours next year...😉😀

Still here, and loads of other bits to include possibly.

We will be ok, Lammy has said that the French are with us against Putin's threats to the UK.🤔

I used this fertiliser from the water companies in the early 70s and had tomatoes growing in the lawn for two years.🤔
