GJUK Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 No, I'm trying to offer you some sensible advice, and avoid you becoming the laughing stock of your local FEO department, when you phone them up and expect them to know who owns / farms a particular field out of many thousands in their area. Oh right. Funn that. I never asked them anything like that. I described the situation to them and asked their advice. It ain't rocket science pal, it's common sense, just give 'em a break....please..?? Cat. Who do you phone if you've got a problem with a car road insurance issue? The DVLA Who do you phone if you have a query with your AIG house insurance. AIG Who do you contact to query your service interval on your Ford Escort. Ford Who do you phone if you have a query about your SGC/Firearms. The Police Yes you could contact a car owners forum for the road insurance questions. Yes you could ask your mate about your home insurance query. Yes you could ask 'Dave' around the corner about the Escort. And yes you could ask the BASC about the shooting query. Don't tell me I'm wrong. Because I'm quite frankly not. Like you said. It's not rocket science. It's common sense. Sadly (or not) though I feel the damage is already done! Comments like this amuse me. As you seem to know so much about the discussion I have with the person on the phone. Did you think I was rude? Should I have worded my question differently? Did I speak to the right person to start with in the dept? From what I gather, unlike most of the people that shoot, I'm not a millionaire. I'm not on the dole and I don't live on a farm. Access to information or sensible people within the hobby directly around me is hard to come by. My FEO said "If you have any questions, just call." So I did. It seems sensible to me, maybe to much so for Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerseaDavid Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) Hi GJUK. I think you were right to do what you did, it is what I would have done. I like this forum but I think that some of you get too carried away with things, he just asked you a question that was answered in the first couple of post and you have all gone off on a rant over this, it is enough to put people off and is not a good way to attract new members. I am not one for having threads locked but I think it is about time this one was. Dont get me wrong CAT, but some of the advise you give is great but just recently your info has not been right and it is you who should think more about what you are writing etc. Now you are probably going to go off on another rant because you seem to like that, so rant away mate.
