Apologies

The Finns and the Russians have a long history of 'Duking it out'.

I have a Russian Mosin-Nagant rifle, which is a 'Finnish capture' from the early days of the 'Winter War' in WWII.

In fact, the 'new' owner scratched their initials into the stock - 'VH'

These rifles were often fettled by the Finns and turned into much improved firearms.

Here’s one, WW2 capture re-stock by Sako, chamber is now 7.62x53R and falls into my grubby mitts for a hunt.
Not to sound ungrateful but it was a bit agricultural.

No, you may start a thread but you may not control where it goes .
If you have a problem feel free to disagree.

The people of Russia are never the problem, The leadership has been it has haunted those regular people for Centuries unfortunately.

My friends grandfather was treated very badly by the Russians. And many I know in Finland hate Russians.

I am sorry you feel that way.

If every thread that went 'off piste' was blocked, this site (any site) would die on it's arse in a day.

Your post has initiated some interesting and amusing responses - if any thread I started did the same, I would be delighted.

Do you see what I mean?

It's (possessive) the thread, that just keeps on giving.

They are a good bunch of folks in my direct experience , more similar to us than the rest of Europe as regards attitude and humour .

I would disagree on that! Once we were supposed to go drinking, me and an Englishman, but already when we started the first pint the fella said "cheers" (or something similar)??? Obviously he just wanted to talk instead of drinking!
