Thanks for update. I did state that I wasn't 100% sure if this particular gun was a joint venture with foreign gunmakers. Still an almost unbelievable price especially after the addition of vat, commission etc . Very happy seller I would think.

Remarkable price, but not old (1999) and I'm not sure it is 100% English. Since the latest reincarnation of e j Churchill in 1997 they have been selling guns built abroad and finished( oil stock or whatever) in England. They still use parts from abroad and have connections with arrietta and rizzinni to name but two. Nothing wrong with that, but must be noted these are not true handmade English guns as we know. All the more remarkable if that price is correct. Check out prices for Purdeys etc at the same sale, very much reduced sale prices in comparison to years gone by.

I'll happily purchase if still available. If other offers fail to proceed. Regards

The items used for calculation may well change periodically. However with the example you have given ( mortgages) the CPI figure would be a lot less than 1.7 if they were still included, since the mortgage rate has dropped considerably this last year. Regardless, there are more households without a mortgage than with one. I don't know the list of items used, but I'm sure Google will provide a comprehensive answer if anyone is interested. It doesn't bother me as I cannot change anything or make it different so I don't waste time worrying about it . I have no beef either way. I joined this thread with the sole purpose of trying to explain how the figure is arrived at, and clarify it's not a made up or mystery figure. Regards

It appears that you don't understand what the CPI figure represents and how it is arrived at. There are a selection of goods and services that are always used for the figure. Fuel, flight prices , household goods, some foods, shopping etc etc. The average rise is used as the figure. For example, petrol has decreased by 15% and whilst other goods services may be higher, the average is 1.7. Why wouldn't you believe the published figure, which I am sure is analysed, scrutinised and thoroughly studied by all concerned bodies. Regards

Hello, Google for buck 110 or slightly smaller 112. Also worth a look is the opinel luxury range, ebony etc. Cyclair is an online company I have used several times, all good experiences, but find the knives you are interested in an Google for companies to compare. -

Police Scotland also received claims of abuse, by Fayed, at his estate in Scotland. Again, no prosecution was brought.

This really isn't a topic suitable for tasteless jokes and irreverent comments. Very disappointing, but not surprising, please consider those abused in this and other occasions.

Wow! Literally murdered in cold blood, by savages, live on TV. Again swept from history.

Birmingham. The Mulberry and Tavern bombings/murders. Over 20 killed, 100 + injured. Long ignored and swept from history! Why don't we care?

Disgusting terrorist atrocity, sadly almost forgotten and ignored. Also, from the time of the German death and torture" camps" to present day massacre and torture of innocent Israelis, all swept away and forgotten. Closer to home, innocent lives blown away and murdered in Ulster and elsewhere in UK, gone with scant regard or care. Sad world indeed.

I have previously purchased Cheddite cartridges at Westlands gun room. I wasn't impressed with the cartridges , therefore I haven't enquired if they still supply them. Westlands are a bit erratic/ unreliable as to cartridge choice, although they usually have a reasonable choice. Regards

That's disappointing and also surprising.Personally, I would be inclined to phone ask for explanation if I wished clarification. It may be an oversight or mix up. Or poor service, which is unusual. Regards
