Cowmans of Clitheroe Cowmans Famous Sausage Shop do Edisford Pork sausage that used to be nicer than the Cumberland variety.

Sadly :sad: they changed the recipe and they no longer taste as good :sad::sad::sad:

The Morroccan Spice sausage were nice tho'


......as were the Boerworst

Just to keep on topic: They taste great in the MH with several alcoholic beverages & I had no INTENT on driving.

Should be ok then - unless you are unlucky enough to be questioned by a copper who thinks that, because the law doesn't lay down in words of one syllable what he should do, then it entitles him to act in a way that defies logic! :lol-053:

Heaven forfend, they don't exist do they? No of course they don't, they all act in a very reasonable & measured way.
Just as long as you are not a 3 year old girl riding a bicycle on the pavement. Then woe betide you, the full weight of the law will descend upon you from a great height & you will be threatened with confiscation.
Mind you, the copper did turn a blind eye to the fact she was nissed as a pewt.:lol-053:

At one point in all this I was inclined to change my mind and agree with David that they shouldn't be let loose without a minder! :D

If my experience was to go by then no problem. It was a Stoeger .22 air rifle.

Yes it is a problem, there is no such thing as 'free shooting' or picking up a rabbit for the pot, if you get caught, you are likely to get arrested and charged for poaching and loose your air rifle. Also that is not helping the fact that SNP in Scotland want all air rifles fully licenced and registered like a firearm..why, because of this type of behaviour and more importantly idiots taking pot shots in built up areas

You can't take a 'few shots' at anything. It is unlawful to shoot on public rights of way, in fact I think 50m from a public road. You require permission to wonder on to somebodies land to bag a woodie or a rabbit. If you seek permission to shoot a rabbit or a woodie and the landowner grants that, then that should be fine

Do I need a general licence or a game licence? - Shooting UK

Last year while wilding in cornwall we decided to book on to a caravan club site for one night as we fancied a drink. The wardens then told us if they required us to vacate the site during the night due to an emergency we could find ourselves with drink drive problems.........can't win!!

Ok, since you still refuse to accept the bleeding obvious, let us approach this from a different angle. Let us start at a point we can both agree on. Not INTENDING to drive is an absolute defence in law to a charge of d.i.c. If, in the layby scenario earlier, the officer had arrested me and if it had gone to court, all I would have to do to be found not guilty would be to show that I did not INTEND to drive. I would not have to pove anything else. It follows, therefore, that INTENT is central to the offence. INTENT takes precedence over any other aspect of the offence and INTENT takes precedence over any other interpretation of the offence. Thus, if the officer at the time did not consider my INTENT he would be setting up a case to fail. He has acted lawfully but stupidly. As I have said many times before, there is no compulsion in law for himto consider INTENTbut there is a compulsion under common sense - just as there is no compulsion in law for someone to wear more than a t-shirt and shorts in sub-zero temperatures but I think he would be generally regarded as an idiot for doing so! Back to the layby - I am willing to bet that if that officer repeatedly arrested without using his brain cells then he would be taken aside by his superiors and told not to be such a prat.

Finally we got there ;)

If you could point to the post numbers on your thread where you have stated or acknowledged this I would be grateful, I missed the many times trying to explain that very point to you.

We`ve only ever once been to a " little get together " as they put it on a CC site.

We didn`t know anything about but as we were booking in they said we was more than welcome to attend.

They said there would be plenty of food but wine and beer was always welcomed.

The main wardens, assistant wardens, some wardens from another site and probably a dozen or so members attended the barbie.

Hells bells :scared::scared: they can drink :scared::scared: it was going down like it was going out of fashion :scared::scared:

We bailed out at 11pm and went back to the van and bedded down :goodnight:

I woke at approx 3am and i could still hear them laughing and joking in the distance ... just.

We left at approx 10am and the office was still locked up with no sign of life so the barrier key went through the letterbox :wave:

Or to put it another way - finally you actually read what I was writing before criticising it! I may have missed a few because I made this list on a very quick trawl through this interminable thread but I made that very point in posts 142, 149, 152, 154 and 178 (and alluded to it in several other posts as well!). Nice to know that it only takes 5 hammer blows to your thick skull before the bell rings. :)

Isn't it nice to just sit here, enjoying our retirement, interacting with our virtual friends, lapping up the milk of human kindness...

I would have thought that the amount of alchohol/how drunk you were would be the biggest determining factor as to whether you get breathalized or not. If you are not deemed in control of your actions, even if 'parked' up for the night, I would have thought you would be breathalized and arrested for being drunk in charge.
As a general rule if I have a drink then I stay below the legal limit for driving, the rare occasion being if I'm in the middle of nowhere.
