12gauge82 Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 All sadly true. We'd be stuffed in a full blown war today, the woke on one side who hate the country they live in, would surrender before the fighting began and the rest wondering what the point to fighting was, as there's not much left to defend. It genuinely makes me rather sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minky Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Apparently I am deprived by going to a school that went to Dover Castle, Canterbury cathedral, Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch railway, London zoo and Bodiam Castle. Strange that we never got to go to the abattoir. Still I did get to visit one as part of my job during the foot and mouth crisis. I think that if all kids were taken to an abattoir no one would eat any meat at all. The reason being that I can drop animals on the spot but the abattoir was one step down from Auschwitz. To see a load of Lambs unloaded into a race waiting their turn. The door opened and five were herded in to the processes. The look on the faces of next ones. They didn't know what was going to happen but,, they knew fear. I thought primary school children. The little loves. Murder comes to mind.

Then on to butchering them. We went camping with school and cubs/scouts, learnt to hunt rabbits, shoot and fish. Then clean prepare and cook our own food. and so much more!

Westley Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 As emergency contact for our Grandkids school, we received a text from the School last Tuesday. This came with a link to a Web thing informing us that it was 'SAFER INTERNET DAY'. Er OK ! I contacted my Daughter, who contacted the School. It transpired that my 17 year old Grandson was using the school computer, and was partaking in a 'word association' quiz. I do not know what the question he was asked was, but his reply was 'Shotgun'. This started alarm bells ringing and flagged up RED apparently. My Daughter had to explain that my Grandson was actually a clay pigeon shooter, along with his older Brother and his Grandfather. It seems the shool were not too happy with this. My Daughter was reluctant to let me go to the school and explain the degree of responsibility that is attached to having a Shotgun Certificate today, and that ALL of my 6 Grandchildren fully understand that, Male and Female. They have all learned to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
