    Different mentality I get it work life balance and all that, but for me it was more of a smash and grab I had a plan, earn as much as I could and get out and fortunately it worked out lot of the blokes I worked with didn't know when to give up, a month after my 60th I put in my notice would have done it earlier if I had joint ops earlier.

    I was a patrolman for years back when you didn’t have to have a fleet of lookouts it was a lovely job as long as you didn’t miss anything but again your not going to better yourself financially the same as planning no money in it, if you want to better yourself financially Mobile ops manager or a signaller but in a power box grade 8/9 that’s where you can earn serious dollar.

    Your on the wrong side of the railway, maintenance, I’ve been on both maintenance and operations, if I told you what I took home annually as a Mobile Operations Manager you would question yourself as to what on earth am I doing all this graft for in shit weather and on nights, make it your mission to look at the vacancies everyday and become a Mom you won’t look back as soon as I got a job in ops I was respected more, I tripled my wages and if your smart you can even grab a kip as long as you respond immediately on nights. if you worked down here and requested to come off nights unless yo

    If he’s well enough Bangers get him back over to see your birds the memories will still be there you’ve just got to tap in and invoke them, On a course I did on the railway helping people with Alzheimer’s/ Dementia use the railway there was a discussion about how people’s memories are like a book case and that all the old books store the memories and aren’t forgotten and it’s the recent stuff the magazines papers they couldn’t remember at all, I remember visiting my grandmother in a home she had severe Alzheimer’s didn’t know who I was but called off every name in an old photograph of aro

    You might want to go a bit larger gives you a bit more scope, excuse the pun lol Hawke again you can’t go wrong with them I’ve got a hawke on my .22 air rifle and and a German Jobby on my rimfire both large spec but my eyes are rubbish so it helps.

    Just my opinion but the next election I believe we are heading for a hung parliament, I do read these topics with interest and sometimes I write out lengthy replies to contribute, but then a little voice in my head says delete it don’t do it because you know you can’t be arsed with the constant table tennis of having to reply to defend your position, very frustrating reading sometimes but interesting otherwise I wouldn’t be here.

    I believe you have to start again with your tickets but once you have the basic knowledge in the UK it can’t be much different, another manager I know has also located to Saudi for a five year stint only recently, I would imagine it’s easy to be honest. The amount of times you’ve made your way back on here I would imagine getting a job on the railway abroad would be a doddle for you lol …

    My old Local Operations Manager upped sticks and emigrated to New Zealand he's now an operations manager for the railway in Wellington, I remember him nicking my PPE and RIO vest for me to take pictures of him standing next to the Network Rail Response vehicle to add to his CV, good luck to him this country is now a grade A shit hole.

    That’s the one I think I see but couldn’t find it, outrageous behaviour all well and good when things are going well soon as the shit hits the fan they get found out, hopeless.

    Nearly as good as London Mayor Khan there is a longer version but I couldn’t find it he follows her and she legs it without saying a word.

    @Meece here is the original advert that I bought it from way back in 2017 and it stated 26” but thinking about it your right it’s probably 28” as a friend of mine had a 26” shotgun and I remarked on how short it looked and said it looked like a sawn off lol. Its a lovely well balanced gun but I can’t remember the last time I used it I always go for my rifle I enjoy it more, funny enough I took it out of the cabinet today after a mooch with the rifle and wiped it down with an oily cloth, here’s a few pics. Edited to say I think the original poster has disappea
