    Had a look and I’m eligible for mine next year, at 65. 
    Talking to an ex cop in beaters wagon on beaters day last week, and he was telling me his brother joined the rozzers at 18, did his 30 years and retired at 48. Some folk just seem to get it right. 

    But even with all that they can keep and retain police officers- I would not be one for all the tea in china or a decent pension!

    nephew has just got his warrant card and on second year of probation spends more time dealing with those with mental illness or social services issues he doesn’t get much time for proper policing! He loves it but mentally he says he can’t see being able to cope for 30 years !

    The politicians pension scheme is still one of the best.

  2. Scully what an obituary for your mate it’s plain to se that the two of you had that bond it’s going to hurt for a while.

    Sadly that is not the solution unless we have a Total "Civil Service" clear out first and remove the problems caused by them effectively blocking anything they dislike, and that includes Brexit.

    The civil service is drive  By the policies of those in power if they can’t agree how can the civil service implement change ? Dvdn then laws have to be passed by the lords both upper and lower house are driven by those that can afford lobbyists - add to that that  we can’t even decide what laws we are abiding by .

    like problems recruiting and retaining police officers the civil service is no better . 

    guess I am saying if you cut away all the rotten wood have you got anything left ?

    The system needs fixing the uk is not a limitless resource and we need to start looking after those that have paid there taxes before those that know who know how to play the system.

  4. Here is mine last gossip at the end of a season !

    I liked the fact that they we all sat in the sun. My old man is in there and another reason the photo was taken as not sure how many years he will keep going but he lives to hobble about and flank in and ensure we are aware of the shots to bag ratio !

    he saw me drop one which was good while stood with my youngest !

    BE AWARE..............the aquatic is a dangerous little beggar.....most people who hunt it end up singing soprano in their local music group

    Useful to know ditchy we have a rule on our shoot that if you shoot it you are expected to eat it if it unclaimed from the shoot wall at the end of the day only exceptions are squirrels and foxes .

    so following that rule what is your suggested prep and cooking method for a Northern Siberian duck billed short legged testicle snatcher !

    Thanks in advance

    well this is what im talking about..........when you ask a question like that..you must include parameters...its no good saying (in the pub quiz)...........

    "name me an aquatic bird with a short bill that likes cold weather and rain"...and everybody says .."A DUCK"

    WRONG...................."it is a Northern Siberian duck billed short legged testicle snatcher...only found near the the town of yurtsville in Northern Siberia"............

  8. Youngsters seem to think that food on the shelves is magic with few wanting to go into farming. with everything stacked against the small farmer it’s a lot of hard work for little remuneration and risks outside your control can wipe any small profit out!  
     

    Always thought a farmers cooperative may help smaller producers!

  9. It sounds like a fantastic morning but any clay shooting at the moment while not raining is a big bonus.

    i have been clay shooting with my 16 bore side by side rather than switching gun between clay buster and game gun.

    well done for having a freshen up before the big day don’t know why more done do it ! 
     

    we are expecting a similar detailed report on beater day btw

  10. Ahh ep90 the stuff you drained out of the diff / gearbox always smelt like cat pee.

    Our gearbox fillers were portable hand wound ones delivering ep90 on a cold morning into an lorry diff was like a work out.You turned the handle one way until it stopped then wound it back.Pumped both ways

  11. So reading into that this is not smoke room gossip or whistle blowers emails.

    this is in minutes and papers presented to board members. So directors, managers must have signed off the papers?

    This therefore points that board members are complicit in the whole saga ?

  12. Jonty I hope I never need the services of you and your colleagues but as age creeps up on me a foot caught In an unseen rabbit hole or a boot not quite as firm on a slippery rock I know that sometimes accidents happen. I am risk overse but like pushing myself as a Yorkshire man I need hills and I need to climb them rain sun snow and fog !

    simple things can make a huge difference  like a survival bag I wander if you have a link to remind us what steps and planning we can take to help you help us if the accident does happen!

    thanks

    Ive had an itch for a lathe.....only problem i know zero about them or even how to use them, but it would look cool in me shed....lol

    Good luck with sale!

    Millrace there are hours of you tube vids on setup and operation but if it’s going to end up as a shed ornament it’s an expensive one !

  14. Could be crime in the area . But suspect they will have a quota to drop in on ! 
     

    my visits have always been no bother even discovering a mosberg bolt action that should have been section 1 ( bought by my dad brand new 65 years ago ) and that had been in my ticket for 15 years ( and 3 renewals ) was discovered worked out a way to sort and get it back as a section 1 didn’t want to see it scrapped as it’s the first shotgun i ever pulled a the trigger !

    could be your purchase’s that have triggered a visit !

    let us know how you get on Agriv8
