Hi Marsh Man I have 2 more than thee on same artery - total 76mm 🙂! Aye, I do walk (march) minimum 45mins every day and 1.5hrs in 'tween days. Weight no problemee - just cant pack any 🙁............. L

Hi Tightchoke Thank you. When there is no 'evidence' (or proof as evidence is just that - it is not proof) to restrict 'lawfull use' then it is vital to stand up to inappropriate use of Firearms Law by individual FEO's/Licensing Teams incorrect interpretation of Firearms Law and the associated Home Office Guidance, which becomes tainted by their personal opinions and the outcome applied across the board. L PS - I was advised in collating my formal complaint that there is a process to appeal inappropriate conditions on Certificates - I had never heard or come across this, and it seems, as far as I am aware from canvassing my friends/stalking cohorts, this is never 'informed' to Certificate holders by Licensing Teams, otherwise I may well have taken this option, to put on record for others.

Hmmm, Not my experience in last 18months...... Having held my ('open') FAC over 40yrs. including larger calibres, renewals have been straight forward due to experienced and sensible FEO's. However, with no change in my circumstances, last renewal TVP tried to prevent me using some of my calibres. It took 15mths for my formal complaint to conclude and revert my conditions back to previous i.e 'open' for all calibres. Examples - can only use my .270W in Gloucestershire for Boar, as that is the maximum calibre Gloucestershire permit to be used......... - my reloading bench with the necessary equipment, and .270W brass in semi prepped state was not evidence I reloaded my ammunition - where was my relaoding record..... I hear his FEO does not cover my patch now - according to my deer stalking/hunting friend, who had need to contact him re an error after his renewal (seriel number incorrectly copied over).......yesterday it came to light that a Lanber Shotgun, after renewal, was now listed as a Rizzini...... L

Hi As said above dont take this extremely poor service but ensure it goes to the ChExec of the RAC (there is a listing on Tinternet of the ChExecs) and copy in appropriate Directors (multi-prong approach). L

The End comes to us all, sooner or later. Brave words and man. If he has passed on to the Forever Happy Hunting Grounds, may his journey have been comfortable, with those closest to him around. I hope the pain/shock eases soonest for his remaining Family and all those who knew him well.

Hi Had several (stents, total 76mm on same heart artery, first failed after 3mths, 2 more added)............ 🙁, via me wrist, and awake during 'procedure'. Interesting to say the least - watching and feeling 'tugging' inside thee on a screen! I did state that I was 'not guilty' and there was some mistake, as gurney looked like I was about to be put down.........to ease me own mind! Bruising on wrist nae so bad. L

Hiya Houseplant Thank you for sharing your lovely experience. Area and sea look pristine! L

Hi Hmmm, seems a thing of many parts - the number of Firearm Licencing Services and their machinations........ My most recent renewal (almost 2yrs ago that resulted in a formal complaint, but thats a another story), previous 'secuity arrangements' perfectly acceptable (20+yrs!), and suddenly become 'unacceptable' unless alarm fitted (no new firearms requested) or refusal will ensue! Then, though I made a formal statement (via email) that 'necessary' alarm had been fitted (we all know what a 'false statement' means within a firearms application/renewal), an appointment was made to duly check that it had been installed and working................ No change in circumstances, not in a 'difficult' area (HOG and Statutory Guidance), or any other record on Polis National Records (Subject Access Request, though Local Records withheld due to formal Complaint in progress). The complaint found in my favour, and seems the FEO '...does not cover my area...). L

Hi Shambam1962 As always wonderful craftwork! Not 100% ye say - not to my eyes the antlered one! L

Hi Gordon R Ah yes, Regime Change' under a different umbrella - Afghanistan and the Talibs - the US eventually conceded - didnt heed British Empire history but found wanting that hi-tech military is not always the answer. Vietnam and our own Troubles in Ireland, more recently Iraq, Libya, Syria...... Sure, poke Iran and it adds more fuel to an existing fire...................leading to more swamping our shores and holding us to blame for and keeping the fire of 'ideology' going. L PS - One groups' Terrorist' is anothers 'Freedom Fighter' - remember Mandela and ANC in South Africa?

Hi Gordon R Almost certainly just rhetoric - leave the Palastinians with the small slice of their own land upto this point, with out external 'embugerance' and no visions of Greater Isreal, they and the neighbours will have a different mindset. Norman Finkelstein, John Mearsheimer some commentators that speak/write as it is and without having a narrow focus or bowing to any external influence..........U-Tube has many examples. L

Hi Tightchoke The Isrealis call it 'mowing the grass'. L

Hi Please be aware 'Recovery' is not the same in the fine print or when questioned in detail - I have gone to RAC after my neighbour forensically interrogated both sides after his daughter broke down in Londinium at night and no towback to the Homestead in Oxon Ford. L

Hello Eyefor Much appreciated - had the link on previous PC that died - can move on with an issue that has dragged 15mths plus! L
