No real difference between shooting or fishing, but then why not go golfing or horse riding or out in your boat, and then others will say if they can do that then I'm going to .......... So unfortunately everything has to stop, that way everyone is doing there bit. I just feel like everyone should weigh their own risk and decide what they want to do.

I'll have to differ, each of those exercise/fresh air/vitamin C gathering activities can be done in solitude but it easier to police a total ban on common sense. And you've just made my point, I'm in my 40s fit ish, no underlying health issues but I'm sticking to the rules, I don't want it but don't expect I'd get that ill if I did. I also wouldn't want to spread it to others that could be vulnerable, like say a pregnant woman or someone in there late 60s with health issues. Those that are in the vulnerable groups should be grateful that people are in the main sticking to the rules, and encouraging them, you seem to think you should be able to do as you please because you'll be out the way, and you should be right, but what if while driving to a field or beach someone smashes into your car, and you end up in hospital!! Then the risk jumps up and all because of unnecessary travel. 2 hours ago, NoBodyImportant said: I just feel like everyone should weigh their own risk and decide what they want to do. The problem is many would just carry on as if nothing was happening, so everyone is being told stay home stay safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ^^^^^ The trouble is we got experts telling us what we need to be doing, but then we get joe walking straight across the lawn. The joes are not going to be compliant until they post keep off the grass signs then they will no. The please note Guidance does not apply to them because they are special and so like playing on the nice lawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lad i knew bough a house in Lincolnshire, he just saw it looked ok was what he wanted he was from Lincoln originally it was not too far away quite rural . so he did the deal. He moved next he has his licence under review. I remember it being called that. The former owners SON had been growing dope on that property wile his mom and dad were living in Spain . Police were scared he was going to come back break in or had spare keys/ knew the place and how to break into it. He was nearly 12 months before they finally gave him his licence / guns back back. this drug grower was a violent lad by all accounts only late teens but history. I know of others with neighbour trouble, another with a drunk and incapable one night walking 30 yards to a waiting car after a weeding reception. Guns / licence under review. You can not give the law a MM in this day and age . strange thing is some seem to duck under every radar get away with all sorts of dodgy stuff. Me I Eire on the side of caution, preventing a problem, ie not sticking your head above the parapet. is way better that picking your head/ gun licence up in a bucket when they take your head off. If you get me. just saying ridiculous yes but todays Law enforcement and re Gun licensing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had been out shopping and unusually had the dogs in the car. On the way back home I pulled into a lane end which had a well used footpath running from it. A small car was already parked there in which there were two spotty youths. Or so I thought. As I passed the car I noticed two things. One was a very recently dead Chaffinch and the other was a third pimply youth lying out on the back seat. Always being one for a jape I picked up the dead bird, opened the passenger side door and placed the corpse on the lap of the passenger. I have rarely seen a reaction like it. All three were repulsed and I was knocked sideways by the smell emanating from the vehicle which proceeded to shoot off at great speed.

Its funny but i had a go at the son other day came in off the main road like a bat out of hell i heard him coming 600 yards away, warned him if he got done for unsafe manoeuvre turning in at that speed he could lose his guns. You just do not know these days what they are going to do. if the cap fits you will be wearing it you can be sure of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I go check my livestock twice a day, which is against the guidelines of doing it once a day during my exercise. What you're saying is that if I get stopped on my second journey of the day, the police are going to fine me, and then come and take my guns away?

Walker570 Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 All of this chatter and I have just been reminded that 80,000 died in the UK during the 1968 flu outbreak. I don't recollect any lockdowns or any change in lifestyle back then. Just common sense is the order of the day , but as a barrister friend commented, he was in a case one time when the defence suggested common sense was used. The judge looked over his specs and said, " I agree, but it isn't very common these days is it." If you can find it, use it and stay safe chaps.

Sha Bu Le Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Just to change things a tad :- I live backing onto a large cemetery, have done for around 20 years. During that time we have gotten used to a certain level of activity re funerals. Since the outbreak of this virus we have seen a significant increase in the number of funerals. Not double but maybe around 60/70 % increase. Its really very sad seeing the funerals take place with only 5 mourners present at the grave (as per the corona rules) any others have to stand well away. That does not include those using the crem' which is partially screened (we can't see the entrances). If the lock down dissenters could see these daily scenes of sadness perhaps they would be more willingly compliant. Just saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
