Holy Hell, I had no idea this would cause a debate. I honesty didn't give it any thought at all. I was being informal. I'll use "people" next time

Hey, you are free to use whatever words you want so long as its not sweary just don't expect to be understood by those of more years if you veer into recent vernacular.
I've learnt something form this exchange no doubt, as to the value of that learning I have yet to decide.
Whats the bore like on the three band?
Better pictures would help a lot as price is always dependant on condition.
Why are you selling it?

Hey Christel, another emoticon title needs changing, I typed "sweary words" and got the foulmouthed emoticon.

Bore's mirror bright.
Selling it as I'm not getting on with it. I've never really warmed to it in all the years I've owned it.
I'll try to get some more pictures when I can get some day-light into the flat.

Harry Enfield? Never seen or heard of him till now, illustrious name though. Enfield that is not Harry.
Is that a "cult" home made video thing?
So "peeps" is a makey up word for a "comedy" character whose lack of command of the english language is seen as funny?
Well I suppose words have to come from somewhere.
Thank you for the information.

May I ask, where is this attitude coming from?
You haven’t heard of a word I used, so what? Chill out. (That means relax) Relax means, calm down.
You’re from C. Durham. I’m sure you have a ton of words that we have never heard of and words that I would term “non-words”
Harry Enfield, while not my favourite, was a huge TV star in the 90s, so people of “more years” then myself would be more familiar with him then myself.
If you really want to, you can argue with Oxford:

If we’re done jacking my thread, now, I’m not going to mention it any further.
To answer your question, yes, the rifle has three-grove rifling.
