TIG

Okay, here's a slightly off-centre question. I've searched the heel out of this and haven't found anything that even gets close to it, so here goes... I'm about to put in for a SGC and appreciate that the previous convictions declaration is partly an honesty test. Many years ago after some general drunken boisterousness I appeared before the magistrate. I'm talking around 30 years ago and all I can really remember is that we walked away having been given a talking to. In truth I can'tr remember what we were charged with and what the outcome was. It was either a conditional discharge or a bounding over. Also, around 40 years ago I gave a mate a lift on my bike when on a provisional licence and got stopped. Again, I can't remember the details of it. I did think about doing a Subject Access Request to find out details of these, but I'm not sure if they'll show up because of the age of them. I also wasn't sure whether doing a SAR would be viewed dimly when it came to time to put the application in. I don't want to try and evade the issue, but also I don't think it'll look good if I state that @some time ago I did get nicked but I can't remember what the offence was of what the outcome was. Searching the t'interweb does imply I'm the only person who forgets about things that, until the SGC application, were insignificant! Any ideas?

Thanks for the welcomes guys. I suppose I'd best put in for a SGC Sooner rather than later, as my lessons could spark another spending spree!

Having transplanted myself from a semi in Surrey to 6 acres with a wood in Lincolnshire, I hit on the idea of eating my way through the local pigeon population. To be honest, the only gun I've ever fired was an AK47 when traveling in Viet Nam, and when it comes to all things shooting I'm a bit clueless. Well, let's make that a lot clueless. Before even moving and finding out how agile the wild woodie is, I went out and acquired an air rifle. Much as the TX200 makes me smile, it does demand that pigeons settle for a while and have a kip if I've got any chance of nabbing them. So far I've had one, which means a single snack cost me around £600. I've now realised that I need to push the cost of those snacks higher, so am signing up for a few lessons at a local shooting school. Hopefully that'll teach me a few things. Well, I did say hopefully...
