  1. The old adgae what does 4x4 do? Get you into twice as much trouble as 2x4! Or 2 in, 4 out.
  2. Remebering the old Foster's advert. 'No for pity sake!! Not the SHERRY!!!
  3. HMVF deputation with submissions to the next VOSA love in?
  4. Proper English Hunting coats are made from a cloth called Melton. Thick wool. We used to use a round fence post to hang them from, especially if wet. About the only thing that will hold them. Also NEVER use metal coat hangars!! They can rust and stain kit. Plastic wont take the weight so good old wood is best.The old fashioned clothes airier that had two pulleys attached to a roof beam are great for this type of kit as well you can spread everythig including tents over them and string up to dry, clean and reproof. If you have gagrage or workshop. I suggest string a couple of good pulley blocks up then hang a twelve foot wood round fence post from some good rope. Ideal tent airer.
  5. What DO you mean?:nono: Green underwear means if it does run in the wash it dosen't show on my shirts! :nut: Got some spare scaffold pipes!

  10. A co2 air pistol of les than 6lbft muzle energy is covered by the Firearms act. Age restricitions etc, so is a Sporting weapon''. A co2 bb pistol less than 0.5 joule muzzle energy is a 'toy' (Unless some litle ... has shot you with one when your driving a bus!) So it's covered by VCR, about as much sense as anything!
  11. Bulwark for a start. Though she became a Comando Carrier, I must be getting old because I think the Botties are getting a raw deal. I was a Nozzer in Bulwark Mess at HMS Ganges, that was .....a long time ago.
