What the proof load consists of is irrelevant. ‘Nitro proof’ is good for normal pressure steel, HP steel is good for HP Steel. And the ban doesn’t have to go through parliament, the HSE can ban anything it wishes.

Guys, when you get the WEF talking points email from uncle Klausy, you’re not meant to quote it verbatim 😂 Being serious for a minute, blaming him for his father’s crimes is not something I’ll ascribe to, and although he had benefits others my kids can’t have (cos labour & the tories have pulled up the ladder, esp wrt rental properties), he is indeed a wealth creator. The current labour cabinet must hate him.

Voting for something which was delivered in name only & deliberately undermined at every turn, even by those nominally striving to deliver it, entitles one to moan. I say let Starmer try and take us back in. I wonder if these returners are comfortable with compulsory joining of the eurozone, Schengen*, no veto and certainly no rebate. I’m not expecting an answer of course. *such as it is; tried crossing a land border in the Schengen zone recently?

Yes their system is…slow and very much manual. They do publish a list of ‘prices realised’ which you then can manually compare against a lot number. Then, usually about 3-5 working days later you get an invoice for the total amount from their team. Including a…strong packing & shipping charge. Only at this point do you find out for definite if you’ve won. Following payment you’re invited to submit to the vagaries of RM to send your SGC/FAC merry journey to Norforkshire and back. About a week later your RFD will have your purchase in his hot sticky paws, and it only remains for you to cross his palm with silver & you’ll get your bang-stick. Personally I’ve given up with them; too many dreamers pushing the prices up well beyond retail. You might get a bargoon if you’re lucky & live within sensible driving distance of Sixfingershire. All that notwithstanding, hopefully someone will pitch in with news of a purchase of the bargoonus variety.

Depends which Decathlon Solognac wellies you mean. I’ve got the non-neoprene ones & they’re excellent for general use. Dog walking, mucking out chickens etc. But for a cold traipse across fields at night, NV in hand, I’ve got a pair of Aigle Parcours. Bought on special at of all places the local garden centre. So far lasting well & super comfortable, but obviously only used for ‘best’ so far.

Been dealing with the aftermath of the storm today with my new twin 18v Makita with a 14” bar. Not under powered & as has been stated, allows you more easily to monitor your speeds & feeds. Did look at the Stihl for similar money but already had Makita batteries.

So much this; am unlikely ever to go near a grouse moor, but the "I'm alright jack" mentality of some shooters needs to die, and quickly. I do wonder if the government has the appetite to take on rural communities though. The farmers' protest has managed to galvanise people, admittedly not many people eat grouse, but nevertheless the seed of a clueless, townie central government imposing nonsense on rural communities has definitely been planted.

Plenty of good curry places still about - even in smaller conurbations. The fun is in finding them, but maybe don't plan in any fencing jobs for the day after a trying a new one 😂 As for the 'dining experience' - granted that is vary variable, but I suggest not going on Thursday/Friday night for an immediate improvement in ambience.

As has been pointed out, an £800 budget for a semi makes the world your oyster…but you may have to go private rather than RFDs on higher end models. Personally I’d be looking at a Benelli - I picked a Montefeltro up for £500 back in 2020 from a dealer in Birmingham, and if anything prices have gone down not up. As ever though, fit is important even with a semi; go to a shop with an attached clay ground & try a few.

Don’t suppose it has a 26” barrel?

2016 called, they want their thinly-disguised racial slur back. Tell you what, Climate Cymru or whatever the hell you’re called, how about we fence off some areas in public parks for the exclusive use of dog walkers, like a lot of places in the US. Would help contain the clueless owners & allow their hounds to socialise. Wish I shared your optimism. Are you beach body ready?

Yea it’s not to everyone’s taste, and the pricing is very strong…but I quite like the styling. Am sure it’ll do well.

I put some bids in today for what I thought was strong money & everything went for way more. Pretty sure it’s all amateurs bidding each other up, no way the trade is getting stock from auctions at this point.

Maybe point your friend at the countless threads on here with people unable to even get a doctor’s appointment, much less have any sort of preventative healthcare. Sorry but at 60 you’d need rocks in your head to do anything other than visit the UK, and even then try your hardest to avoid needing medical care. This is unlikely to be fixed anytime soon, too.

Have a bump and a price reduction to £125
