That's what I thought, and I went 'nuts' when my wife informed me that she had applied to this company! We have not received any tax rebate and I don't intend paying them the fees they are asking for.

A few months ago, my wife, unknown to me at the time, applied to the above company with regard to getting a tax rebate. She heard nothing from them until a few days ago, when she was contacted by them, stating that according to their records, the Inland Revenue had credited her/my account to the tune of £989:76 and that they now require a payment of £475:08 for their services. My wife explained to them that neither myself or her have received such payment. We both checked our bank statements going back many months, and there is nothing showing. Today, I/We received a letter from them, demanding payment otherwise 'further action may/will be taken'. I've just emailed them and asked them to provide me with the date this 'supposedly' refund was credited to either one of us. In the meantime, I am contacting Trading Standards and whoever else will listen!

Thanks. My tax code now has an 'X' at the end of it. I know that my pension, (£9000+) is taken off my personal allowance as it's classed as income.

I've recently qualified for the above. I intend working for another 12 months, maybe longer. I know that I won't be paying National Insurance anymore, but will pay more tax. Does anyone know the percentage of what will be taken?

I can second the above. I have used a set for many years with no problems.

3 bottles left.

We do intend getting quotes from local mini cab firms. The airport is 60 miles from my home, so 240 total. I realise it will be 4 journeys for the taxi firm. I'm totally against handing my keys over and would rather pay the extra £40 to able to keep them. Mt step daughter has offered to take us to the airport and bring us back, but we don't arrive back until 02:45 the earliest. She works everyday and we feel it would be too much for her.

UPDATE: I've just had a reply from Whitegates, and they said that the times that I wanted to book an overnight stay (9pm) and return from the airport (02.30) are not available!

Further to my question about parking at Bristol Airport (£164 for two weeks, keeping my keys) there's a company called Whitegates Bed & Breakfast who charge £75 for 15 days and also offer B&B for £50 (room only) or continental brealfast @ £9 pp. Keys have to left with them and they take you/bring you back ftom the airport. Has anyone used this company?

In the past, I always planted seed potato's in heavy duty black bags. As the potato's grew, I added more compost. When they were ready to remove, I just cut the bags open down the sides.

You are welcome, and thanks for the recommendation.🙂👍

It was a bit on the thin side, which didn't surprise me, but it's coat looked okay.

I saw this beauty a few times during the past few weeks. It was walking/sniffing around a barren bit of beach in Hurghada Egypt. It looked in good health considering there was very little for it to feed on. At one point, it came within 8 ft of me.

I am not knocking the NHS as I've seen it from both sides, but I have just had a telephone call from my local hospital about a referral regarding my hernia. I explained that I had to pay privately (£3610:00) almost two years ago as I couldn't wait to have it done on the NHS. I was then asked 'do you still want to be referred or taking off their list'!

Thank you.

I have bottled a few of the above which are now ready for sale, but I have reluctantly had to increase the price to £14:00 per bottle, an increase of 50p, due to the increased prices of the bottles, packaging and now, an increase of postage (2nd class/signed for) The lure is still good value for money and a little goes a long way. It's excellent and is a very good attractant.

I've got the 600 yard one ( LRF 600 Professional) and it's excellent.👍

Speaking to a German lady today while I'm on holiday, and I mentioned that from tomorrow I will receive state pension of £815:40 a month. She was shocked and said that she receives €2000 per month!!!!

Of course he will, and the Pope will become a Rastafarian!

That's the only thing I don't like doing. I did this once with a Pulsar NV but the zero was lost between rifles. I use a Vulpine Mk3 with excellent results, but I just 'fancied' the Alpex. Perhaps I'll buy one and keep it for one rifle only, either my .22 Hornet or .243.

There's a video tutorial on Youtube, by Optics Warehouse.

Thanks for that. The scope's that I have on the rifles at the moment are worth far more (combined) than the Alpex price tag. I have got a Vulpine Mk3 NV add on which I have used on the rifles mentioned and is excellent. I would also sell this should I purchase the Alpex.

Has anyone use the above scope on different rifle's, or knows someone who has, and the zeroing stays the same? I'm thinking of getting one to go on my .22LR, .22 Hornet and .204 Ruger.
