My dad sometimes took us to Kent where we'd shoot Rabbits and the occasional Pheasant with an air rifle. Pheasants have probably got to be the dumbest animals alive as on the way back from golf my dad would sometimes pull up on the verge and go and stun (then wring it's neck) one with one of his clubs and we'd hang it in the cellar to eat in the next day or so.


I could still probably skin and gut a rabbit.

Remember the smell still ? peeling the skin off like a wet suit & that film between skin & carcass. I get a fair few pheasant in the season if you fancy the odd brace.



W**F

gawd, that brings back memories, used to work for the fruit and veg sellers in the offices above at nine elms, sorting out dock tickets, making tea and answering the switchboard in a cockney accent. The highlight of the week was all the office staff being given a bag of fruit and veg to take home on a friday, i was paid ?35 a week :-S

    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
