  1. Last autumn when I had my renewal my GP charged for their services which I paid as it was £20 so not the end of the world. When my FLO came round for his visit I asked him about the medical fees and he said an alternative method that that Staffs accepted at the time was to sign up to see your medical records online and provide the details to the licensing team, this allows them to see your records warts and all but is free - its like getting a one time code to let someone see your driving license details when you hire a car Not ideal but if you are in the position where the GP is playing hard ball then it might be the only way and as long as you are OK mentally including stress related issues it should be enough
  2. Any steamed pud with custard, not the ready made stuff that you get today in cartons but the powdered version mixed with milk - it used to have more taste to it. From school dinners time it would have to be the chocolate shortbread with green mint custard
  3. Mine are between 4 and 5 years old - I have recently upgraded the ear cups to gel ones and that has transformed the comfort level - I had them on for over 6 hours the other day without any discomfort.
  4. ^^^^ This - all they did on my renewal is put a digital marker on my record that says that the police must be informed if I suddenly become unsuitable to own a firearm through stress or howling at the moon etc which is money for old rope
  5. And I thought my GP surgery were robing **** when they wanted £30 when I renewed last month 😮 My FLO did say when he came round to do my inspection that he had advised a few people who's GP's were playing sill beggars to ask the GP to see there own medical record and this is a free service - you get a code like letting someone view your driving licence - then you can give your FLO the code and he can see the records The only downside is that the FLO gets to see everything on file warts and all.
  6. I know from reading the Landy restoration threads and other motoring threads here that many of you appreciate the mechanical side of things - especially the "built not bought" mentality. The two guys that are building Project Binky which is an Austin Mini GT-Four hybrid (Turbo Charged and 4WD) are definitely mad but have some serious fabrication skills, they are currently up to episode 20 of the v-log and I've really enjoyed watching them get to where they are up to now and I thought you chaps might appreciate what they are doing Episode 1 here and their Youtube Channel is here N07
  7. Might be worth giving Tony a call, really nice chap - had a few lessons off him myself https://sites.google.com/site/clayshootinginstructor/about-us
  8. No, they are due tomorrow according to Amazon so fingers crossed
  9. I know a couple of people who have these safety glasses with the built in lens frames - they got their own optician to provide and fit the lenses to them https://www.topgunclothing.co.uk/shooting-glasses/premier-plus-protective-shooting-glasses At £30 + lenses they don't break the bank
  10. This link has some pointers of what to look for: https://canadianfirearmsblog.ca/identifying-counterfeit-impact-sport/
  11. That's if you buy them via the UK site - if you get them off the international site (via .com) they are £38 delivered including import duties and VAT
  12. No problem, mine are due next week so I'll let you know what they are like - my HL's are about 5 years old and the cups could do with a freshen up and hopefully they will seal better around the arms on my specs.
  13. You can get replacement cups for them off Amazon that are gel like the ones on the MSA Sordin ear deffenders http://www.valhollgear.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Valholl-Gear-Replacement-Impact-Headphones/dp/B0719D35HM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541032237&sr=8-1&keywords=Valholl+Gear
  14. Nilfisk here as well Is it just me or do the Sthil washers look just the same as the Nilfisk ones but just a different coloured housing
