I will PM you just now.

A quick bump to the top.

Watched the whole thing, very good, knowledgeable and well informed contributions from all but one speaker. Thanks to all those that spoke up for the grouse shooting community and all the folk they support and sustain in the rural areas. 👍 👍 Cheers A. M.

An excellent contribution to the debate from Robbie Moore the Conservative MP for Keighley & Ilkley. Well done 👏👏 I never saw the whole debate but he was good. Cheers A.M. As an edit I just managed to rewind it on line just now. Another good contribution from John Lamont as well. Cheers A.M.

Any update on "David's" JAK ?

A quick update after my bump up. I had hoped that after 18 months from our application we would have received our furnished holiday let licence. But it seems that this great thought out idea (not!!!) by the SNP is taking an eternity to administer but with the inefficiencies in government...

A New Year Bump Up.

That will be good for me as we will be at the hinds Red and Sika till the end of January. Many Thanks

Hi John, I would be delighted if it was possible to have another go with JAK as my attempt in the summer could have been better. Many Thanks A.M.

Tried Hog casings and found them a bit tough (grilled) and then on to the sheep casings but as MattW said better to soak them overnight. Recently tried collagen casings, they were ok but I got another lot of sheep casings for my next batch. Cheers

Just a wee thought. Be sure to make the top of the external part of the ceiling and where the walls meet the external stone walls as mouse proof as possible as the wee barstewards can play merry hell with your pipe insulation behind your studwork and do not take long to bare a freshly...
