Hi,

Why do you need to loose your licence for a few months.

Kent allow me to apply for a variation and keep my licence until the new one is ready then send mine in or handover face to face (not sure about that now).

Means I can still use my licence as its valid.

She is a lovely thing. And there’s not a mark on her.... which needs to change by being used regularly.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

I’ve just changed my phone and I have to say the case colouring does not look as “straw yellow” in real life! If anyone wants, I’ll take some pics.

But, this is the last chance. With a little drop to 750.

MMM. That's lovely. Unfortunately I've yet to sell my bolt actions and secure new slots.
Everything is at a standstill in Thames Valley for the foreseeable future.

It’s one of the guys on here whose shouted up for it. I think he was surprised that his ticket had come back in such a short time. Now we just have to organise a way round getting it done, given social distancing and tier 4/5/6 or whichever it is today!

Its meeee! I am with TVP and I was truly surprised at turnaround of my fac.
Sold my beloved No4 Mk2 and sent away paper work ( 1 4 1) week before christmas and got fac back last week.
4 week turnaround.
It appears to be impossible to contact any one from licensing at the moment.
I wasnt contacted either.
As the man says - just looking for opportunity to collect. Dont think it would qualify as a necessary journey.
Dont know where - dont know when etc

I have contacted the TV firearms department via email with little trouble - I had to report a change in phone number.

As to collection ... I guess you might both happen to be shopping at the same Tesco and by happy chance be parked next to each other. :)

Yeah, yeah. I know that's mingling or some such bo...cks. Totally fine to mingle with complete strangers at 2 meters (in practical reality often less) in a crowded supermarket but very bad if you arrange to meet someone you know in a car park.
