LOL Bobba! Thanks Mr Merkel. Couldn't remember who made it but enjoyed it.

Do you blokes remember when we could get turtle soup? Alligator, Ditchman. "The longer you chew it, the bigger it gets"

They both look very handleable guns, Enfield! Hope the 16 does you well! I dont know how I would describe mine. Feels good ..lovely triggers... I do have a Manufrance 12 in bits at the moment. Need to make both mainsprings! That one is a number four whatever that means. On the inside the work is as rough as a badgers a**e, but its tight and handles well. The one above handles so well its hard to put down! ATB R.

Yes, G.T. was of an enquiring and open mind. Really enjoyed his AYA XXV in later years. Think he shot with a Winchester 101 if I remember right. Below is Nel. My rough rustic French peasant! All rust when she came to live with me. Mot much better now. Had to make a top lever spring. Locks up tight 16 bore, 27 1/2 inch tubes. 5 3/4 pounds. Seems to be made by Verney Carron. Fits like a glove and would be ideal for ferreting! I Like her! No class but I Still like her!

It got up minus 17 this afternoon, so didnt feel like I needed gloves after the cold we had! Been minus 30 C at times and never above -20 c for a couple of weeks. Could be a lot colder but I dont mind warm! One bad time some years back it got real cold. Minus 70F with wind. Neighbour had his tractor heated and all lagged up for feeding cows. He got abouf 200 yards down the road and she froze up. Had to walk back. Froze his lungs and he was years before he was right again. Lot of cows froze standing up that winter. That's before we moved here. Ive only seen minus 45C or so l think. Hunted in 40 below but not much fun! And dont lick your gun! Soon as these antibiotics get workibg l wont have time to sit playing with my phone! Lol.

We arent allowed to shoot grizzlies without license, Minky! Mozzies not bad. Some dry years we hardly see any. Some wet years they make up for it! Apologies for politics. WELSH1!

Got my prophile edited Mel! Wonders never cease!!

In the English Civil War they ran out if rope Mel, so took to hanging folks in the forks of trees. Just a thought!

Yes Mr A, we make the mincemeat! Recipe is my grannies or older. Apologies for nothing on my prophile! Im a bit slow it seems and cant find how I add anything! I Will catch up in time! I dunno Mr Boggy, there Might be enough for everyone!

Oi never looked at how old the thread was, Old Farrier! Tomatoe seeds stuck between a kitchen roll go in a letter easily. Legislation be bu*****d, lol.

Can't get pork pies over here hardly ever, so make them these days. Same with mince pies! Wouldn't be Christmas without mince pies! I make about 19 or 20 dozen, and we never throw any out. I could live on them over Christmas.!

I could do with some tomato seeds as well, but looking for the old English somewhat acidic and smaller types. The sort you eat right out the greenhouse!

Do you have bag limits, L-B?? 😉

This was the conclusion I had arrived at, but wondered if I had missed anything L-B! My best friend back home shot clays occasionally at a friend's sporting layout. Some of his bird seemed impossible ...so high! Yet, after others had tried and fared very badly, the host would shoot the same 'too high' clays with his normal chambered.410! Ken told me of this on numerous occasions.

Re younger generation, my cousin back home said,"They want to start where we hope to finish". I am 71 and still work all days of the week, as I have a farm and there's only me to do it.! I'm gaffer, the labourer and the village idiot!
