savagebulldog20 0 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 last week i bagged my first permission after well over a year of trying. so thought id better go and get a new scope (any excuse to give the missus ). anyway attached the new scope a couple of nights ago and it just needed zero'ing. called the man at the permission about 15:30 today to see if it was ok to visit tonight and zero there before i went and tried for a few bunnies. he then tells me he gave a couple of other guys permission a few days ago and would prefer it if only one set of people had permission at a time so took my permission away. i was so angry i was shaking but managed to keep my head and tell him "oh fair enough, let me know if it doesnt work out with the other guys" followed by me slamming the phone and shouting a rather rude word at the top of my voice. so back to square one...just hope it doesnt take me another year to get another go at it.

Guest AngelicAcid Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Its happened to me on a canny bit of land, i even started the lad off, gave hime jackets, footwear sorted some ferrets the lot. he barely speaks now, he knows who he is, and my problems, still never gave me a chance, or a f**k about morals, something of which i hold in high regard. You want to be ashamed of yourself MATE, but ive one thing you will never have, Pride in my family, im not self centered and have a great life now. Rant over, anyway mate, keep knocking, get insured the lot. 1 Quote Link to post

hullhunter 219 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 so why did he give them it when you allready had permission Quote Link to post
andyfr1968 772 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Give it a bit of time, mate, then go and give the fella a friendly visit to see how the other lads are doing. If he's given you the OK once there's a good chance you'll get a result face to face. Best of luck Quote Link to post
Mrs Mole 74 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Bad luck buddy, hope you have luck soon finding another permission.. Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Idea from Mole HQ. If he was willing to let you have the permission, perhaps he has friends who could do with your attention. Ask him politely if he knows of any others who have a problem that would require your attention! Ask if he could have a word or ask for the names! Quote Link to post

Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hi SBD20. Hope the blood pressure has dropped again, what a rotten stunt to pull. Best wishes and good luck finding more permission,....... you will Bill. Quote Link to post
Westy76 546 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 what a bloody stunt!! where abouts you at mate in the county?(pm if you prefer) keep plugging away and always go back to them a month later to enquire hows it going Matt Quote Link to post
The Duncan 802 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Good luck with finding new land and I think we'd all agree here that the farmer was a bit of a cupid stunt for pulling that one on you. If I were him, I'd have said that I already had a chap to do pest control - first come first served after all. Moleys idea of asking him for other possibilities is a sound one. Cheers and all the best, Duncan. Quote Link to post
Rake aboot 4,935 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 TBH you should have let him have it,, too many farmers act like twats and just get away with it,, at the end of the day,, we do them a free service and lots of them treat us like shit for it,, tell him your pissed off,, and let him know what he`s done,, this is why they act like this,, cause nobody says boo to them,, There is always other permission,, I jacked some superb permission earlier cause the farmer acted the twat, and showed me up in front od two ladss on here,, so I told him exactly what he was,, a whining tight arsehole who wanted a free service AND to be able to talk to me like shit,,,, Feck him,, you`ll come good,, but don`t eat shit for him or others like him ATB mate, and good luck 1 Quote Link to post
