problem is there is always bad news around, a little girl was shot in the stomach near my brothers this week and air lifted to hospital, I don't know anything more. Whether it was an accident or malicious?

I thought the pushchair was for teamtractor.
have you seen the pics, wouldn't get one leg in that.

probably the amount of time you were using it?
this is off the rat section, might have to start saving your pennies and pounds.

I think because of the laws in Scotland it has to be rfd to rfd.
still wouldn't hand it in, as said better to sell it on cheap than have it destroyed.

If you take France as an example, the supermarkets have less dominance than here. I believe around 34% of food retailers in France are independent, whereas in the UK its 1.8%.
Tesco for example, have a 28% of UK food sales.
So yes, our farm gate prices are highly controlled by supermarket buyers. They know to the penny how much production costs are and manipulate the market to pay as little as possible.
Plus and it's a big plus, farming is valued by the French government, it's a big employer and a large contributor to the French economy.
That certainly makes sense, from the Little I've seen on countries like France and Italy they enjoy their cooking as much as the food so are probably happier paying more for local produce, this country now seems to be more about squeezing out every single penny, profit profit profit.

Some strange squirrel behavior today. We were away last week and apparently there were some high winds while we were gone. I have a small covered bird table with a suet block on it, found this way the rats can't get at it, it was on its side with the block gone. Everything back as it should be and this morning I'm watching the birds before I go to bed. Lovely pair of green finches and various others when I spot a squirrel in the garden!!! Haven't seen one in months in my garden. It's probably 50 meters away, window open gun out just in case, it ambled up the garden without a care in the world going in and out of bushes and shrubs, stopped to look and sniff where the bird table had fallen then came so close to the house you would think we had been hand feeding it.
he then sort of hops back to the edge of the patio and picks a strawberry without a care in the world, pop! Young male who obviously enjoyed himself while we were away.

I’m not convinced she’s not just pretending so I keep making her breakfast in bed before I go to work ? but then she started talking about the price of prams yesterday and I nearly had a heart attack! Apparently saying couldn’t we just acquire a shopping trolley wasn’t the right thing to say ?
go for the double, tell her you don't need a cot you can just use the draws in the bed room

Bit random but there are plenty of craftsmen and women, artists and folk who like good wood.
we were in Majorca last week, and walked past this shop or studio a few times going to the beach, some of the stuff in there was simply amazing, well worth a look on line if your looking for some inspiration or just like furniture that resembles art.

Walker570....considerable swelling eh? now that's given me an idea . Mice....any pictures of the Dog wearing wellies and trousers?
power of the internet, can't see the trousers for the wellies, been a long night ?
-
A woman I used to chat to walking the dog got bitten a few years ago and was layed up for about two weeks due to a couple of bites, I'd never realised that their bite was so bad. She always walked the dog in trousers and wellies after that regardless of the weather.

If your mates as clumsy as you fear i would get a cheap cabinet/ locker like you use in work fit a strap inside so the tank can't move and its all out the way in the garage or shed till you need it.

I would have thought a pump was the easiest and cheapest way to go, i cant imagine you pumping up more than once on a session. It won't be rolling around and how often are you going to shoot 120 shots a session? If that's the case on a regular session i would look at another rifle maybe or take two with you?

Be interesting to know how many of us have ever double loaded a PCP - I'll start - 20 + years using only PCP's for hunting = zero. Keep your eye on the ball.
My old fella did on my Rapid, i haven't done it though, had her at least twenty years, i have pulled the trigger but not cocked the rifle.

Some interesting comments, I use whatever is required on Squirrels and totally agree they tend to be really tough, and can take a lot of injury.
Historical experience has also taught me NEVER to pick one up until you are absolutely sure its dead.
like when i got complacent a while ago, I had shot a squirrel out of a tree and put another pellet into its chest at point blank, moved on to try and get another, couple of minutes later i came back, squirrel in same place, bent down to pick him up and nearly soiled my pants when it moved as my hand touched it, tough critters indeed.

when in doubt chuck it out, they say 8 years and there not that pricey these days.

I Maybe some truth to it, my next neighbour works for parcelforce, and they have told all their drivers that putting a england flag of any kind on or in their van will result in a disciplinary.
He says they claim its for health and safety reasons......
Something I dont have to worry about as Ireland never qualify anyway.

That was always my old fella first day on the Dane if he could get there, maybe not the crack of dawn tho.

Bang on the cross hairs. I have been practicing with the Scorpion this week and pushing out to 70 yards (Sub-12 but Ratworks tuned). My usual 10gn heavies are zerod at 40 but with 8gn the zero moves to 50! This squizzer appeared at 50 yards so I took it prone off the bipod. This time going for the heart as the last one needed 2 to the head.
We'll at least it wasn't a fluke then, might have to have a proper look at .177 one day, but there so small and fiddly.

The rifle is looking tidy and so are those shelves, very organised.

I like the look of your rat bank, brilliant back stop and never a dull moment I imagine.
I do like pest control but haven't tried them over 20 meters, are you shooting sub 12?
Some nice groups which ever pellet you go with, have you tried bisley superfield? Lighter than the others your using but still a good hollow point.
Have you got anything you could shoot to see what kind of holes the different pellets give? I do like the idea of the barracudas but think they will be too heavy and I would loose accuracy at sub 12.
