Yes it was from the post office and if i remember right it was basically the size of a post card and it was brown, it did say shotgun licence on it and not certificate, think first one i got was 1980/1981 and it lasted 12mth and it was about two quid, no reminders about renewall and if you didnt get a new one you would probably get a visit from the local plod to see if you still had guns, very relaxed back then ,,

The course is designed to teach complete beginners how to safely climb and carry out aerial rescue. If you've got a bit of experience and can tie a few knots you'll already be ahead of the grade curve. You'll be shown how to ascend and work the tree using two climbing systems, then execute a few different rescues. There is a theory part where you will be expected to answer questions around various H&S/Envionmental legislation. The Candidate criteria is available from the City and Guilds website if you want to do a bit of homework.

Sounds like it has sheared the flywheel key knocking the ignition timing out.

Best I could find: https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/1985-06-17/debates/908b9d70-4768-490f-9230-c34828b551ad/ForestryCommission Last paragraph. The dates fit my recollection. It looks like the 1967 Act applies and it was a change in the criteria the FC would grant a licence that meant it was not possible to convert the land. -
Lovely. I helped a mate mill some fallen oak a couple of winters ago. Got some pretty nice looking boards. I went on his stag do in June and we all started at his house. I hadn’t even realised he had used the boards but his dining table looked pretty stunning.

Interestingly but not surprisingly, it would appear that the home office have changed the goalposts once again. SGC will soon be requiring 2 referees and more alarmingly FEOs bit be allowed to ask questions of other household members, if i read it correctly.

You don’t need to register a sub-12 ft/lbs airgun Pete. If it’s more powerful than that you’d need an FAC.

Go on then.

We asked Citb for a course they replied that the machine is a chariot and not covered by any of their tests , didn’t bother with the forestry, npors had no qualification for a machine that you stand on my machine is a loader and dumper had it on site at Nine Elms on roof gardens they were happy as it weighs less than a tonne, what ticket have you got.?

My Grandad had a love of guns, he was a sniper at Ypres in WW1. Post war, he was either poacher, loader or keeper on the local estate, depending on the occasion. He also ran a gun club and shooting range at one point. I can remember various cartridges etc in pots, ashtrays and piles around his place. He ran the local Post Office too, back when they didn't sell anything apart postal stuff. After he died at home in the early 80's, his children met to empty the house. In the big walk in cupboard/room under the stairs, casually hidden under a pile of Post Office clothing/coats etc they found 6 x Martini Henry action .22 rifles, a 410 garden gun and a single shot walking stick 12 gauge. A couple of air rifles were also present. The local Bobby was approached who visibly blanched and basically suggested that as unlicensed and unregistered, the implications were pretty awful to all concerned, him included! A grave was dug up in the orchard and, apart from the airguns, barrels first, these were knocked in with a sledge! Prayers were said and the hole filled. Later that night, a fair bit of ammo fell into the canal near the lock gates. The next year, the canal was drained to mend the locks and the finds caused a stir locally. I must get that airgun in my wardrobe registered too! Almost brand new and in a box! I am the current custodian as mother has laid a claim to it! What she wants it for I don't know!

You need three things, fuel, air, spark. If one is missing, it will not work?

Tree monkey 1682 replied to Treetom15's topic in Large equipment

Clarity On Hedges That are both Deciduous & Evergreen
GordonM replied to GordonM's topic in Trees and the Law
I strongly suspect 4 is fine to pay the bill to have the evergreen ones reduced to under 2M if necessary. Those aren't the concern, it's the deciduous ones next to them which they're much more protective over. It appears to be much sensitive with those. Personally i'm fine with that approach. Again i'm just not certain which way the council will go with this one. Hopefully the deciduous ones dont get affected too much. 😞 -

High Hedges bring out the worst. -
Clarity On Hedges That are both Deciduous & Evergreen
Steven P replied to GordonM's topic in Trees and the Law
Yes, that's possible - all depends how they get on with the neighbours generally. I guess we get a slanted view of the world here with so many threads along the lines of "having a dispute with the ass of a neighbour, what is the legal position, what can we / they do / can't do"... but some neighbours must be friendly somewhere? -
best way of removing tree and stumps
openspaceman replied to Hog a Log Hogson's topic in General chat
I'll have to check. I know the amounts that could be felled without a licence changed, before I started work, with the 1967 act but I thought it was a later act that prevented conversion of forestry to agriculture. The reason I remember is that I worked with a couple of chaps with a Cat 951 that cleared such land and I would have the wood, for selling as pulp. The Cat would push them over and I would knot them out and cut off the root. That came to an end because of the change in the law. I was nearly killed on one job, creating a pony paddock beside a manor house for new owners, the agricultural land all having been sold off to a neighbouring farm, I was working too close behind the cat snedding a birch when the back edge of the power fork caught another birch as he reversed and turned, the top landed on me -
Always found it cheaper to buy a new saw rather than rebuild cutoff saws just get too much abuse

Sorry to be a pain , but have you got the right legislation there? 1986 Act only allowed for restocking on conviction.
