Zapp Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Try telling that to my father! Why not start a thread about it if you are upset rather than dragging other peoples off topic. ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZB I haven't Zapp; although I did, politely, last week and it was removed. I was just warning the poster earlier on, that his suggestion was mischievous. Read it. Regards.

steve_b_wales Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Years ago, I went into my local newsagent where I have been buying my papers and 4 shooting magazines for 16 years, I asked if I could place an advert in the window to sell one of my shotguns. The look of horror on her face! She said that she could not place the advert as it was against her beliefs regarding shooting etc etc. I said, Fine, no problem, and immediately cancelled all my daily papers and monthly magazines. 7 years on, I have not even entered the shop.

I experienced this shortly after Dunblane. Our local newspaper was not accepting any adverts under 'Guns and Dogs'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked more as though you were spoiling for a scrap over Alan's suspension than trying to be helpful, though of course I may have misunderstood.

Chard Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Waterstones don't sell any books on shooting, not even clay shooting. I don't go in there for anything now (and I buy a lot of books) Sanctimonious prigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slated Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Maybe she likes reading the top shelf stuff herself and someone shot her girlfriend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbithunter2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Because it is not an illegal act. You are simply asking her to stock an item in her shop at no point has a contract for sale been entered into. I'm not sure what you're getting at Cheers for that Dr w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbithunter2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I have waited a few hours to see whether your post has been removed and whether you have received a pm, warning you of the blatancy of this suggestion.

LEFTY478 Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Knock up some cheap little Business cards with her address on. That way, the next time you manage to scam some ******, be sure to be sure to let them a card. On second thoughts, perhaps you'll need a big business card: with pictures rather than words.

Dr W Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 To be quite honest I get my sporting shooter delivered direct to my house. You get great discounts on the subscription (I think this Xmas you can get a years subs for £20 and even for repeat subs). It arrives nicely packaged and ready for me to read over my cornflakes and saves me the hassle of going out to get it :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIGIMAN Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Not sure if it's a midlands thing, I was buying my shooting times my local Morrisons supermarket and Sporting gun from a near by Tesco's. Both stock the usual fishing and majority of shooting mags etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
