  1. There has been two battles, one in the civil war and one later. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Preston_(1648) http://www.information-britain.co.uk/famdates.php?id=323 There is quite a bit of Roman history in the area. One find that would make you detectorists eyes light up was the Curedale hoard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuerdale_Hoard http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/vikings/cuerdale_01.shtml Cuerdale is a mile away ish from work as the crow flies.

  9. With the right training and patience I am sure your mongrel will turn out to be a decent working dog. One shoot I beat on one lad has a Jack Russell that has put numerous 'pedigree gun dogs' with xzy field trial champions in their lines to shame. My brothers lab is not from a working line, but puts many of the working line labs I have seen over the last few seasons to shame. He puts in loads of training / effort in to the dog. Don't rush to get your dog out working too soon and make sure the dog is rock solid on basic commands before trying more advanced training. Sorry for rambling on I can't
  10. This afternoon I saw 100 to 150 pigeons hammering the triticale crop on another farm next to my work. I don't have permission there but half an hour sat wi binos and the pigeons began to leave in small groups and many of them flew to a pond on my permission for a drink. Someone will be set up tomorrow waiting for them in a hide.
  11. I got an S410K a couple of weeks ago. Secondhand they are about half the price of a HW100 and a much better gun than 99.5% of shooters holding it.
  12. A'd still knock her back doors in mind.
  13.

  16. You been for a meal at 336?
  17. Not long back from Barcelona myself, went for the Catalunya GP, wouldn't mind going back. Couldn't do wi being stuck in a bloody office all day though.
  18. Could they not rig up summat similar to a ladder trap on the building roof with food inside to lure the dirty winged feckers in? Or a couple of blokes on the roof with air guns?
  19. I take guns in a slip on my back while I ride to permissions on my motorbike. Have written permission slip in gun slip, have never had and hassle off the rozzers.
  20. We had buzzards taking kittens at work. The kitten huggers wouldn't believe it 'til they saw it with their own eyes.
  21. The more nutters the quicker their demise will hopefully be. Should be on news at ten and on the front page of all the rags.
  22. The old fella snoring in his favourite arm chair after being taken out for diner and a few pints.
  23. Get thisen a springer. None of this poofy airy fairy toys. Oh and welcome to THL.
  24. Few signs about pest control with a gun, few signs beware of the bull, few signs about field sprayed with chemicals, few signs about Tuberculosis or ebola, you get my drift.
