    Please do not try and justify dogs!

    Hey TC, well you can't help being Female and neither can SWMBO (She who must be obeyed, AKA "The Wife") and there's nothing wrong with being neurotic either. It's fine to treat a dog like a human as long as you understand what that leads to......dogs sleep in the kitchen here, not on my bed...

    It's not illegal to transport them as long as it is in a secure manner. Which it is. And I'm not sure but last time I checked there were a LOT of Range Rovers on the roads. Doesn't identify mine. No fried bread thanks, gives me gas. As for the locks, well someone has to keep the keys and...

    Ahem, nothing hard about guns. Backed up by the fact that most of the "hard" types you clearly refer to would be denied a FAL. And as for me, well I don't need to be hard. I never get bothered, probably because I only frequent country pubs. But the facts are that 21 years of playing rugby do...

    LOL, relax, I have a Police approved gun safe both in the house and also in the car. So don't leave on my account, especially as you seem to be offering a fry up.

    Kelvin, you haven't demonstrated how my assumption is incorrect. All you have demonstrated is a limited knowledge of working dogs. I, on the other hand have 46 years experience of them. Your idea (and most town folks for that matter) of a trained dog is normally my idea of an undisciplined...

    DD, do tell, exactly which rules am I breaking? You're right, you don't know who I am so calling me an idiot is rather, well unwise is probably a decenct choice of word. It does leave you open to being rather publicly wrong. I'll enlighten you a little. I live in the country, have done all...

    @Parksy I don't thing I'm "The hell" anyone. And I'm quite happy to say it to his face as well, and yours for that matter, except of course that you're both hiding behind a computer keyboard. ;) Facts are, calling me arrogant and conceited amounts to trolling, as does posting without spell...

    @Kelvin I don't care if you buy it or not. Your ill-informed rant only serves to demonstrate how little you know about sheepdogs. Both mine are 11 years old and in those 11 years have NEVER been on a lead. Nor have they ever bitten anyone, made a nuisance of themselves, wandered off etc. In...

    DD I fully understand how disgusting it is, but seriously, think certain breeds (Staffie etc) and certain vans (Hobby maybe) and then think about the seagulls of the human race. Not worth getting your head stoved in over a dog turd. Move on, it's way easier. Dom.

    Good God, are you for real? Nothing better to do than spy on other people? You wanna be careful, I've seen some dog owners who wouldn't think twice about providing a good hard smack in the mouth, never mind leaving dog doo on the ground. Yes they're inconsiderate but is it really worth...

    To answer the original poster's thread title, there is absolutely no need to justify taking my 2 Border Collies with me in the caravan. It is permitted in the rules and that's that. Until the rules change........... And I don't see that they need to be on a lead in order to be under control...

    Are overall costs killing touring caravans?

    Not sure if it's just me or if I am actually seeing this. It seems as if there are people who expect to spend some money on buying a caravan and then have FREE holidays for ever more. Ahem, that'll be a resounding "No" then. Breaking news just in. Caravan holidays cost money!! Would you...

    C&CC Membership survey

    We have not received anything about a survey either. We are members of both the main clubs, mainly because we do between 10 and 20 weekends away every year. I prefer the 2 C's to 3 C's, mainly because the CC don't accept tents so the shower blocks are usually a lot cleaner, but I have also been...

    Grayston spring assisters - fitting problems

    OK, the spring needs to be fully relaxed so the car needs to be on axle stands with the spring loose. You might need to undo one end of the shock absorber (suspension damper) to achieve the travel required. It is often easiest to fit assisters if the spring is off the car and has been thoroughly...
