  1. Ignore his email, put your invoice in with the deadline for payment and stick to it. If he doesn't pay up in time, second invoice with 14 days to pay or action through small claims court. Don't descend into negotiation. He agreed the price which doesn't sound unreasonable to me.
  2. I'm Maldon and a bit busy at moment but thanks for the thought, Eggs. ? The OP could try Crown Trees near Ongar, Premier Trees in the same area, Neil Carter in Brentwood or Ingatestone Trees in Ingatestone.
  3. My Dad was an evacuee in Salcombe during WW2 and remembered seeing fishing boats coming up the creek that were flying the Tricolore. He used to be out at odd times with the lovely family who took him in, hunting rabbits and the like. It wasn't until a few years ago that we found out that the fishing boats were part of SOE.
  4. The SAS and SOE also had an unofficial hunting team when the war in Europe finished and the SAS had officially been disbanded there. They were looking for those responsible for the deaths of agents and the murders under Hitler's infamous Commando order of SAS personnel. Google a guy called Prince Yurka Galitzine for an interesting subject. You can do the same for Major Bill Barkworth, SAS, and Vera Atkins who worked in the French section of SOE. Vera was particularly interested in the disappearance of 4 female SOE operatives, including Noor Inayat Khan, at Struthof Natzweiler. They had some interesting techniques, including the use of a Ouija board.
  5. Couldn't agree more, on both counts. IIRC, he's a UK citizen so where would he be deported to? I would be interested to know why he was released, albeit to a bail hostel, after serving less than half of his sentence.
  6. Looks more like a vodka Red Bull.
  7. Neither was this creature. It seems Mr Choudhary was more 'westernised' in his younger days.
  8. A gate?
  9. Whatever the calibre, from .177 to .25, if you're accurate with a rifle near the 12ft/lb limit then you will kill a squirrel at a sensible range.
  10. There are lots of responsible air gun hunters who are looking for permissions. You should have no problem finding somebody suitable to solve your problem. I would suggest a member of either BASA or BASC. You could try looking on AirGunForum but obviously choose carefully.
  11. It's nothing compared to Berberis bollocks.
  12. Is that not Blackthorn?
  13. We're already part way there.
  14. You were the one who put me on to them, mate.
  15. Always worth using a hay fork on jobs like that.
  16. Try Ripeur 2 gloves, about £20 ish. I have only ever had one thorn come through and that was when they were soaking wet. Absolutely brilliant gloves.
  17. I thought you only got them in Thailand?
  18. I'm sure Jenny, his wife, will be charmed to be described as his worker.
  19. Waking up early on a Sunday morning and sitting, cat snoring on my lap, with a mug of builder's tea and doing the crossword from Saturday's Times. That, or taking my nephew shooting and having the plinking range to ourselves.
  20. Usual 'material' not doing it for you, mate?
  21. Got a food flask that holds a pouch of microwave rice and a pot of soup. That and a fresh brew makes the day more pleasant.
  22. No worries. Lower Road , IIRC.
  23. That's ok if you have a couple of hours to negotiate Parkway.
  24. Don't forget that handy 3rd lane on the A130 as well. If the OP is the right side of Chelmsford then there is Lovedown farm in Hullbridge.
