    Sounds like a tough day and a pyrrhic victory sadly. With notes, based on what you have just said you should be able to build a case and prove constructive dismissal if you needed to, not exactly a cause for celebration but a moral victory none the less. May be worth getting an hour of someone legals time as if they want to negotiate you out, now is possibly the best time to start - I say that not understanding age / likelihood of future employment / pension benefits etc. However, if as the boss has confirmed the gloves are off and the scene is set it may be better for your health and stress levels to see what they will do in terms of lost pension benefits, cash payment etc to ask you to walk through the door. Certainly something I would get advice on due to the concern that if the eyes are directed at you my concern would be they will seek to find reasons over the next few months to say goodbye. If you have a Union join it now and get their help. Sorry not a nice place to be.

    meeting

    If you are minded to record then ask for an agenda, ask who is going to take minutes and if they are to be circulated and signed off as accurate and correct by all attending. However be careful and really think of things are getting that bad, any of the above such as recording etc is escalating to a high level

    Life insurance

    Need more to go on really but investigate family income benefit, pays an income fir a fixed term, decreasing plan so costs less
  8. I live there get there for two and my daughter is singing on stage, I will not be there as I have a date with the birds
  9. I have not done driven for a long time, but I think the thing to do would be to explain the price is x plus tip for the beaters and then confirm what the expected tip is. When I did driven it was on that very basis cost per gun is x plus £20 tip for beaters. That way the guns know what the total cost is and what is expected of them, if they are not asked to provide a tip at the end of the day I can understand why they did not as they may have easily assumed beaters costs were being taken care of in the overall price.
  10. Harnser We will have to meet, and if Dear Rob ever comes back from his holidays I will quiz him. Just to let you know place is now filled by a member on here. Any more places come up and I will be doing the same. thanks your interest
  11. Gents Due to the resignation of a long standing member we have one place available for a small diy syndicate in Norfolk The bad first the land is forestry, covered in fern and is rough going the shoot is walked up only all members are expected to get involved in feeding and work parties the good the members are a friendly bunch who like to get down the pub after a shoot day for a natter the sport although sometimes sparse is good when it comes woodcock like the woods (which gives a nice December and January) from close season to when birds arrive members can shoot for pigeon and vermin at any time (no rifles allowed - forestry rules) the cost £325 for the season (being honest this has not been increased for a few years and I expect it to be raised at the end of this season) the expectations this season we have put 400 birds down and are hopeful of a 30% return (last two seasons have been 24% and 28% with 350 down, this season we have started spinning feed to retain more) what we would like ideally we want someone with a hunting dog, who is not afraid of some strenuous walking (you not the dog) and who is willing able to give some time for work parties in and out of the season. if interested then please pm me and I will get in touch and look to catch up and see if we can take things further. cheers
  12. A sad day, he was a delight to see when on my way to school on the Number 19 or 20 bus sunny day, is his gloves, directing the traffic rumors abounded a failed solicitor, divorce and drink, whatever the truth he brightened up my days as a wonderful eccentric passing the time R.I.P Marigold
  13. there's a place in Dereham, by the railway tavern, can not remember the name but when we crossed the border we hired from them, memory serves they were reasonably priced but it was 10 year ago
  14. National trust holiday lets, lots of choice in some special places, dunwhich Heath in suffolk bang off a lovely beach middle of no where worth a look plus loads of choice where ever you want to stay
  15. The problem is that commission is what kills us as an industry. Who pays the commissions to me, the provider from their profits or you from your investment. I assure a good ifa will cost you money, but a good one will tell you what that cost is and agree it before doing any work. They will also tell you what you can expect from their work and how to cancel any contracts if you do not feel you are being looked after properly. Please forgive me for the passion, but commission kills us as an industry it is opaque and in the main used to hide the fees we earn.
  16. Hey, Drop me a pm and I can understand what you need to know and want to know, they are often different, if I can help without advice as a favour I will, if it heads into the realms of financial jiggery pockery I will tell you and before it gets to far we work out if can work together or not. Some of us are not the second cousins of estate agents twice removed that we sometimes seem to portray. Ben

  18. Sounds like the same problem I had with my rescue hound... we went back to basics with her, got her mind set turned into listening to us so sit stay wait at food bowl etc. for recall we went to fenced in paddock and started to play games and call her back, if she did not come we went hard and sent her away and walked off, (forced her out of the pack) over time it started to work and now in the main she comes back, to be honest not ideal and not what I wanted will really consider rescue dogs in a lot more detail next time round. best thing we do though is go to dog training on a weekly basis, this has really turned her into a reasonably well behaved dog, so much she even did three days rough shooting with me last season, did not run in, but if she sees a deer then forget it, I refuse to call her back when she gets on at present as I am still not 100% on recall and there is no point training her to ignore my whistles.
  19. happened to a lad I know, caused him lots of bother but sorted in the end, after that happened we cleared it with the pub that we could bring slipped guns into the pub, problem solved, if I stop on the way home I now take the slipped gun with me, I suggest we learn from the lesson above, do not judge and hope he gets support from the BASC to retain his licence
  20. Wow, that was quite a strong statement to make without the experience to back it up.
  21. Mr Webster for me, works on all my guns and backs it up with great service
  22. May be better to not be succinct, that's half the problem brevity sometimes fails to give the full picture which is why it can go so horribly wrong, or be perceived to, best intentions and all that.
  23. Certainly am fire away but probably better over PM than going public with your info
  24. I can second what ColinF says, I rent forestry land for a little syndicate shoot. I have not had any issues working with them but it depends on the land you have, ours is classified as ancient woodland which prevents us from putting down straw for feed points etc. Every three years we have to prepare a management plan and update the health and safety risk assessments. Only advice I would give if you are going to do this is that all forestry land is public access, this may or may not be an issue for you. I also recommend you work hard to create a good relationship with your beat ranger and local area office, if they are onside it makes life so much easier to do things. For example we report any possible disagreements with the public straight away, we get out story across just in case a compliant comes in. In our area of the country we can shoot woodock and jays but no rifles are allowed for pest control. They have been trying to let the deer licence for our wood which is a concern as it could get crowded in there and may result in disturbance for us which is what we want to avoid. If you want to know more by all means pm me and I can always give you a bell.
