    was thinking more if i needed to leave the hide for any reason. But all points well taken. 

    If I’m leaving me spot for any reason I’ll tend to put my thumb stick in the top of the marsh … then I can squat down and see it if I’m disoriented. If you’re in the edge, you can normally trace your footprints back as well👍

    I think you're overthinking this one Mani.

    A small torch kept in a high up pocket ( so it doesn't get soaked when tide flighting) is enough just to flash anyone you hear coming up close.

    Drama or not, it’s a bit odd that the Government policy seems to be in completely the opposite direction to that of the Bank of England.

     I also struggle to understand how we’re going to achieve this massive growth when every sector is severely undermanned at the moment.

    If you don't get any takers then try putting them in the next sporting auction near you , I know Cheffins in Cambridge used to do one or two a year as they took over the one that used to be at Collin's in Kings Lynn , sometimes they make more money than you can buy then from a cartridge dealer .  All the best    MM

    These are more money than a cartridge dealer.

    My last 500 Biors were £132 .

    Thanks for all of the feedback - it is extremely helpful and some ideas have been noted.

     

    The idea of a £1500 gun like a 682e is tempting.

    However, an ASE Gold is more tempting.. 

    Anyone ever owned one or have any opinions on the gun?

    I had an ASE gold … an itch I needed to scratch.

    Nice gun, but shot no better than my CG Invictus  … so it went.

    It’s already affecting some local pubs, with two closing in the last week. A great shame as they served good food. It remains to be seen whether they will re-open. Another is cutting back its business hours to cater for just weekends as mid week trade has taken a nose dive. 
    The restaurant where OH works carries on regardless, as busy as ever; the quality of food and service there means their clientele mostly consists of those who are recession proof. 
    It all has a knock on effect however, so time will tell. 

    Tom Kerridge has apparently shared the gas bill in one of his establishments will go from 5k a month to 35k a month … no price cap for businesses.

    Can’t see many surviving this without help.
