Yes. Send me the £10 and i'll promise to send you a copy of a booklet on how to get people to send you money 😎 I'll send it as soon as my copy arrives ...

Excelent idea. If you like tinkering and have a basic mechanical bent and a good set of tools. Get yourself a 300tdi engined Defender with a galvanised chassis and bulkhead. There are a few around. Avoid anything that's not had extensive chassis work done. TD5s can be electrically problematic but have a more powerful and smoother engine than the earlier 300tdi Avoid the later Ford engined varieties. Look closely at the doors, they have a steel frame that rots easily. Look behind any chequer plate as often it's used to cover up rot etc. Lift up the floor mats and examine the floor and gearbox tunnel. Remember the car is 20 to 30 years old. Spares are readily available and not overy expensive if you go for 'after market parts. There are many OEM bits that are 1/3rd of the price Landrover charge and just as good. If you can do work on the car yourself (change the oils and filters, fit nes brake pads and disks etc) then they are a great car to ow, If you have to take it to the garage to change a bulb or fix the indicators (and other minor electrical issues)... it'll be expensive. This lot are good .... https://www.landyzone.co.uk

That is they key. If the coucils openend the tip every day and let you dump your rubbish it would cost them far less than having to go and clear the fly tipping sites - although - I bet there would be some ****holes that would still flytip.

Still available. I went down to Brum from Scotland on Friday with a hope to talk to the seller after contacting Mr Tractor and then trying to get Darren (the seller). Unfortunately it didn't happen, Darren is obvioulsy very busy. I stayed in Tamworth (very close to Darren) but no contact so i'm now back in Scotland with £900 still in my pocket and the lathe still with Darren. Cest la Vie

Hopefully those that decide will see sense (IMO) and remove the requirement for licensing moderators at some time in the near future. I think there are still some that believe when you have a moderator on a rifle it goes "phut" and can't be heard from 10 feet away.

If not all sold . I'll take these ... 2 x green baseball type caps , fully adjustable with air vents both sides. £6 each posted or both for £10

My MP is the wife of Morgan McSweeney, current PPS for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Imogen Walker. They live on an estate I shoot over.

`You mean, politicians change thier rhetoric to suit the mood in an attempt to attract more votes ? ..... and, BASC do the same to 'keep in' with the politicians. No, you can't mean that ? To be so against the doctors tick/medical form and then to actively support it and help 'set up a company' to help 1000's out of thier hard earned ? (ShootCert). To push for longer licences and then support (along with other associations) for an increase in the fee and understand that shorter length certificates would be appropriate. And to support the requirement for 'only those with a licence' can shoot game - and then talk of setup a nationwide, easy access, training program to cater for it, along with convincing politicians that the BASC should hold the licence to operate/administrate such a training scheme Aha, so that's why members are paying for BASC to be at the conference. All expenses is it Connor ? 👍

Yes, 100%

RIP - excellent actor and a great voice.

There is nothing 'medical about the form', there is no liability implied or incurred by the signor or the reviewer of the form. There is no need for any 'review, intervention or interview'. For the Doctors to charge as much as they do and or to refuse to sign just shows (IMO) how ignorant of the process and how self centered they are. These companies are making a fortune and your doctor still has to do the same amount of work, it's ludicrous. All thanks to Chief Inspector Fraser (Freedom) Lamb (ret) who pushed for and implimented the process in Scotland in 2016. Have a quick search for him on Google .... he was at the SCOTTISH ASSOCIATION FOR COUNTRY SPORTS (the Firearms Licensing Specialist and Management Committee member)/gamekeeper turned poacher, but i've not seen 'hide nor hare' of him of late.

It's not worth paying over £50 as there are a number of private companies that will now complete this 'form' and satisfy the requirements for the iissuance of an SGC or FAC. Shootcert Medcert Motormedicals Just-health SimplyMedicals Medical4firearms Midlandmed Anywhere from £45 to £69
