  2. His daughters exactly the same size as he is now Micky She still has growth in her.
  3. The whippet in the Pic I posted was shaun Wilsons baldrick,very good rat dog,better at rabbits though,I think he was tiny 17 inch?He was as good a retriever as most lurchers
  4. A few of my mates had racing whippets when I was a kid,seen them work around northern england,even took one lamping to Caithness once,they performed admirably otherwise they wouldnt have been kept,I have seen a few whippets take 20+ bunnies in a nights lamping,not a huge amount but decent enough for tiny dogs

  7. I had a rescue greyhound for three months,her most memorable catches included my polecat hob next doors cat and a sheep very fast,caught rabbits with ease

  10. I recognise that lake JOE,didnt realise they allowed daytime fishing
  11. Machines depreciate rapidly,my local detecting shop is only a mile away,he has a decent array of used machines at affordable prices because detectorists are like fishermen,always wanting the next models,you can get a sovereign used with 8 inch coil for a couple of hundred quid

  16. Who is that masked man Could be anyone mate,pretty unfashionable de-rigueur for trout fishing though
  17. Your coming from sheffield?I dont poach either But we all have our personal interpretations and sets of ethics,hence your speeding conviction
  18. Minelab Found 24k gold,rings,necklaces etc on foreign beaches,plenty of roman local though mainly grots,nowt exciting
  19. Remember one thing next time you feel your foot ease down grandad,all the fish ever bred dont make up for one man dead
  20. Hi Makem, Like I said I acknowledge that speeding is wrong t's dangerous. I did it because my car was doing 35 in a 30, momentary lapse of concentration - I deserved the point and the fines. No arguments You are passionate in you belief that speeding is wrong because of your personal (and horrible ) experience with your friend. Yet you seem to believe that stealing is perfectly acceptable??? Why do you think speeding is bad yet stealing is ok? That's what I can't get my head round. Best Regards I never said stealing was acceptable,your the one who was convicted of somet
