Damn, caught by a zombie post 😔

What prompted the change? The Diamond was getting absolutely rave reviews when it came out.

Mustard isn't just ground mustard flour though is it? Colman's ingredients list that as just 21%, with sugar, salt, wheat flour and turmeric along with xanthen gum for a thickener. There is citiric acid too but a bit of lemon should serve. Or vinegar, like the Tesco recipe uses. Reverse engineering the list, in a 100g jar it will be 21g of mustard powder and I'd start with 50ml of water, adding more if you need to. You could work out the sugar, salt and turmeric bit by personal preference. It can't have much turmeric in if it's listed after salt. Then add a bit more water if you need.

I feel for you. I wish they would be more transparent about what is and isn't acceptable across the country. Biggest risk of my ADHD chum with a shotgun is that he will put it down somewhere and forget about it. Once it is "found" and used for an illegal crime you've lost your licence anyway. Might not be the same type of ADHD as you of course.

My Pa has a Pride Ranger mobility scooter. It's the Land Rover of mobility scooters - his hobby used to be heading out on snowy days with a tow rope to pull out those stuck in the snow on their little shopping mall scooters! Keep an eye out for those. They were apparently in great demand as golf carts at one point. Pa has managed to get around soggy country shows, our country park and shooting grounds like AGL. The gradient that these will do is apparently much better than most mobility scooters. Keep an eye open on eBay and local sales because these usually go on the market when someone dies.

Brook Taverner may suit you if you are a traditional gentleman. https://www.brooktaverner.co.uk/ Measure yourself, work out the size, order and try on. Return if you don't like it. Alternately try Vinted for decent second hand clothes.

Find someone to mentor. Nothing like seeing something through fresh eyes to make you less jaded.

Tell us, please, for the benefit of us constant students even if the OP knows. I'm now wondering if my Baikal has a selector of which I was unaware!

I've given up and I am trying one of the new composite alternatives. So far very happy. Did the pancakes very well yesterday.

I've been banned from acquiring more guns until I get rid of some, but thank you for thinking of me. I would have loved a Grant and Son!

Cambs firearms were always the fastest responding FEOs of any but they've been merged with other counties so now we struggle along like everyone else. They have also stopped allowing you to write "loan" on a shotgun transfer, it has to be "sold" or "given", which I think is a legal issue.

Really kicky side by sides shot by wimps at skeet. I would!

My condolences, Scully, on the loss of your friend.

That would be nice, if we were all starting from the same place. Two individuals may be on an equal footing regardless of sex. However when looking at any class of people we need to be aware of the disadvantages. When women have been told for their entire lives - explicitly and also indirectly- that guns are for men, guns are not for you, the "women's shooting" movement was incredibly successful at increasing take up. And what happened to those women who took up shooting because of it? They moved into competition and game shooting and didn't need things to be wrapped in pink and labelled "women" to know they could do things. Barriers were truly broken down for them - for us, I was one of them. I see women I knew at the start of their shooting experiences now winning county titles and occasionally shooting for their Country. At the bottom of it all are two things, representation and mentorship. You can't be it if you can't see it, and that applied to everyone. And mentorship can come from anywhere - I have had some wonderful mentorship from male shooters as well as some top class women shooters. I see not reason to bring the alphabet soup of gender into shooting . It's cheap virtual signalling and completely unnecessary. You'd be better of tackling the homophobic "banter" that keeps people away rather than encouraging men to perform their fetishes at shooting grounds - autogynophiles are at statistical higher risk of violence anyway so not ideal licence holders.

Can't get through to BASC on the members line so have written. To have my paid representative actually working against me as a certificate holder and a sportsperson is just too much. If the "voice of the countryside" can't grasp that a steer is not a heifer then we are doomed.
