The smell of food (we use and recommend Spike’s dry food) will lure them in. Don’t forget to leave out water, too. maximus otter

Just buy a cheap 60- to 80 litre plastic storage bin from your local Wilko/Pound Shop. Cut a CD case-sized hole in one end and place it in your garden covering the piggy food. (Set a couple of bricks just inside the entrance to foil cats, leaving enough room for piggies to get around them.) maximus otter

Excellent. We all need to do more to support these useful yet endangered little charmers. https://www.britishhedgehogs.org.uk/feeding/ https://www.sttiggywinkles.org.uk/hedgehog-fact-sheet/#Do’s-and-Dont's-to protect-hedgehogs-in-your-garden maximus otter

Because: a) I've got Vivaldi's Four Seasons on CD, and I don't need to listen to it as Hold music until someone deigns to pick up, and; b) Email is convenient for the recipient: he can answer at his leisure, rather than perhaps interrupting a task, and; c) They provide an email address and should use it. maximus otter

BTW: The NRA just got round to replying to my email, only four days after I sent it, and only three days after my Bisley visit. maximus otter

Thanks for that. l found out yesterday when l visited. (Although the price had gone up from £19 when l first bought it recently to £26 now…) maximus otter

l need to know if GGG 155 is available for general purchase. maximus otter

I'm off to Bisley tomorrow (13.5.23), and my supply of GGG 155gr. Match ammo for .308 is critically low. I was planning to purchase more from the NRA Armoury on camp, but I now note that their price/availability list doesn't mention this ammo. Can anyone who's been recently confirm that it's out of stock? maximus otter

I am a retired police constable. I’d take a lot of convincing that someone would be arrested, let alone spend 12 hours in custody, over simply telling someone once to Foxtrot Oscar. The second paragraph above implies that there’s a lot more going on here. It’s none of my business, and l’m not going to ask questions, but anyone on this forum who’s sweating about something they’ve said once to a neighbour in the heat of the moment: Calm down! maximus otter

1. There's no such thing as a "gun licence". 2. Are the police involved at all? 3. Here's what the law says (the relevant parts of s.30 Firearms Act 1968): 30 Revocation of firearm certificates. (1) A firearm certificate may be revoked by the chief officer of police for the area in which the holder resides on any of the grounds mentioned in subsections (2) to (5) below. (2) The certificate may be revoked if the chief officer of police has reason to believe— (a that the holder is of intemperate habits or unsound mind or is otherwise unfitted to be entrusted with a firearm; or (b) that the holder can no longer be permitted to have the firearm or ammunition to which the certificate relates in his possession without danger to the public safety or to the peace. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/27/part/II/crossheading/grant-renewal-variation-and-revocation-of-firearm-and-shot-gun-certificates My recommendation? Find out in the first instance whether your neighbour has contacted the police about the matter. If yes, then - assuming that you're a member - contact BASC. maximus otter

Update: Yesterday, due to the sterling efforts of Simon Burford at Elite Optical, I received not only a free replacement eyecup for my HIKMicro Lynx thermal monocular, but also a complimentary screw-in neck lanyard to fit the device. This was an unsolicited gift courtesy of Mr. Burford. I regard this as exemplary customer service, particularly considering the fact that the firm from whom I actually bought the monocular, and HIKMicro themselves, couldn't seem to care less about my problem. I recommend Elite Optical to all my fellow forum members. (I have no connection with them other than as a satisfied customer.) Thank you, Mr. Burford. maximus otter

Great story; excellent trophy. Well done. maximus otter
