Zenduri Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 What a tool. Love the ITV's misleading reporting on the rifle though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Just normal journalistic gun fear titillation for the market. That bloke, what an idiot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malmick Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Quite a nice selection of guns there. I'm guessing that racking that pump action makes a bit more noise than what comes out of the moderator. Interesting that that the press picked this one out, must be the work of the devil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I had a chuckle today listening to heart FM, news story about some traveller feud and skulls being dug up! As a result the police carried out raids on multiple traveller sites and found weapons, including a SUBMARINE gun I nearly ****** myself laughing.

Twistedsanity Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I read a report somewhere the other day that reckons one in every 44 houses in the uk has a cannabis grow in it, maybe the guns were to keep all those skunks at bay?

rimfire4969 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Anyone around that way I think there might be a bit of foxing permission coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 If those guns were legally held as they say he is a complete plonker. Cannabis growing is on the increase though, my mate in Cornwall descrbes it as the primary Cornish industry these days. When we were in Amsterdam earlier this year there were lots of shops selling seeds, thirty or more different varieties, books everything.. All those shops are making a living, paying their rent etc. Somebody must be buying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjimmer Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Lost it all for the sake of a few draws - what a numpty. More than just a few draws! From what I've heard, 12 plants would earn several hundred pounds a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjimmer Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 12 plants £3000 a plant Per year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger-Mouse Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Per year? Per growing season and he`d manage 3-4 grows per year. That figure is probably a bit (if you`ll excuse the expression) high though. It might represent street value but even then it`s still pushing it. Impossible to put a definitive value on the plants because plants and crops, just as in farming, will vary. If the plants are a low yield strain they might only produce an ounce or two each. High yield he may produce 10 ounces or possibly more per plant. Then it will depend how good he is at growing, does he use good fertilisers, does he rush things or take his time? The amount he crops will be affected by his methods. Then he has to sell it. He could possibly have 75-100 ounces. He can sell a gram at a time for £10 but it would take forever. Even selling by the ounce that`s a lot of sales so presumably he would sell it wholesale. I`d say he`d be looking at making £10k to £16k if he can manage 6 ounces or more per plant. Even if he produces only 3 or 4 ounces per plant he`s looking at £6k+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjimmer Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Per growing season and he`d manage 3-4 grows per year. That's about what I was told. A local chap got caught with 7 plants, slapped wrist. He is supposed to be making £2.5K every 8 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
