Scully Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 It’s just an ill thought out then badly written schedule, by someone who has seen a 24 hour clock but has no understanding of how it should look in print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle to get to any gun shops midweek as they are all 1hr+ from work and I work long hours, full time. 10 hours ago, mel b3 said: .

WalkedUp Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) It still tickles me that the BASC chairman actually wrote an editorial saying no one should shoot on a Sunday as it disturbs his peace and quiet. It still has to be one of the most narcissistic, delusional and divisive statements BASC have ever released. I cannot find the thread otherwise I would link it on here.

I’m assuming you mean ‘ no one should shoot’? He obviously got enough shooting in during the week when most other people were working? Sundays are one of our busiest days for pest control on rabbits etc, and we often meet up for an adhoc clay bashing session. Lakeland Guns would open up any night of the week except Saturday, for anyone wanting to shop, before he retired. It sometimes got quite busy.

No I speculate if such folk think Harold Macmillan is still Prime Minister? As someone who's late father in his pomp shot in the 1960s on both Tuesdays and Thursdays at Woburn and Kedleston the condemning sentence after speaking of Mr X or Mr Y that regardless of if he owned Purdey guns galore that "of course he only shoots on Saturdays..." was enough to cast a person into the pits of Hell at one time.
