I rather suspect the credit crunch and people losing their jobs has rather more impact.
Let's keep a sense of proportion. The hunting ban hasn't 'destroyed' the bit of the country I know well in the slightest.
The problem might be insurance.
They can (and do) suspend it for undisclosed medical problems. Have an accident and you could find you're uninsured. Same goes for car insurance.
Pack it in for a while, but KEEP THE GEAR/FERRETS/DOGS.
It'll come back.
I did the same with fishing. Too much else going on, too much shit. Got back into it now. Feels like I'm just starting again, it's bloody brilliant.
Just a bit of local info to throw into the speculation: The Kerria isn't exactly a salubrious area of Tam.
I agree with those who think that we don't know all the circumstances. We only know what the papers/Police choose to tell us. So comments like 'it's a miscarriage of justice' are pointless and possibly incorrect.
If your not a Social worker you and undisputed are shirt lifters.
Disgusting this should never happen anyone thinking otherwise is sick.
It isn't an 'either/or' Para, not unless you're simple.....
YOU don't know owt abvout this except what The Mail has chosen to tell you.
Now IF (and it's a big IF) The Mail has told us ALL the facts, then I agree with you: it IS disgusting.
But have they?
Hang on, we're talking about the Daily Wail here, not a paper that's renowned for its' in depth reporting and analysis.
I'm with undisputed on this one: there's more to this than meets the eye.
And no, I'm not a Social Worker and never have been.
What's sad is TELLING people that your 'snaps' are good, then whining when no-one comments
Droid, we see you are laughing at your own jokes. like i commented on my own pics. Yet nobody seems to have laughed at your wise and unpopular comment.... jelousy will get you nowhere mr Bacon slayer...
It wasn't a joke.
And I'm not jealous. Why would I be?
well im 17 when i start and with no noclaims and only a CBT my bike is £362.70 to insure 3rd party fire and theft with 100£ volantary excess. thisc fuguire goes up for less excess etc
£100 excess isn't too shoddy Mine's £250, and £400 isn't unheard of.
I didn't say it was cruel. It's just unneccessary.
Someone did a count of the ferrets on offer on this site last season. It came to around 400, the majority of which were bred from 'a good line'. So if the fella needs to expand the team there's plenty of opportunity there.
And it suggests that the ferretting world needs more breeding like it needs a hole in the head.
Bloody wasps.....
If I can get 4 rods, seatbox, bait and nets onto a bike you shouldn't have too much problem with ferreting off one.
You'll just get very good at using bungies
