Good .

I did try but so many were closed during lockdown and one completely ignored me as soon as I mentioned boat . Terrier Rescue down in Gatwick that was . Betraying our advancing years some of us old blokes ? I did speak to a friend on the Jaguar Forum who has two " crossbreeds " and he was stressing their hardiness with no typical health problems you find in Pure bred dogs

Imagine only 300 Pedigree Parsons Terriers in the whole of Britain last year Tonka , that really surprised me

https://www.draytogoparsonrussells.com As some of you may remember I have always been a Terrier Man having owned them since childhood , in fact in over 40 years spent afloat I have never been without one mostly of the Jack Russell variety . Anyway my current dog Buster a Parsons Terrier I have had since birth is now reaching 10 years old and I have been contemplating getting him some company . Taking a look at the websites such as Pets4Homes and even Gumtree the first thing that struck me is the inflated prices being asked for any manner of rubbish , it seems that the breeding of dogs and the tax free money subsequently earned has become a popular substitute for a shift of work amongst certain sections of society The conditions some of these Pups are being raised in is certainly a cause for concern , pictures of gardens that havent seen a Lawnmower in decades , houses with no curtains nor floor covering indicate to me the wrong environment in which to hand over £2,000 to buy a dog . With this in mind I got in contact with the above Breeder and I have to tell you what a pleasure that has been , knowledgeable and principled the lady told me that she doesnt allocate dogs on a list basis , she allocates them on a suitability of owner basis which when you think about it is the way it should be . She was also telling me that only 300 Parson Terriers were registered with the Kennel Club last year and number have been falling year on year as People buy Cockapoos , Labradoodles and other mongrel breeds . In fact the traditional English Breeds are apparently being largely forsaken . After going through the vetting Process which simply involved me telling her a little about my situation I got the good news I have been accepted for a Pup in late Summer/early Autumn . The cost is £1600 and I am looking forward to a new addition to the crew .

Parrot Fashion with just as much relevance .

You raised the Woke Race Topic Arthur , I simply answered you and explained the complexity of the problem facing the Police , I didn't expect it would be something you wanted to hear .

Do they pick on Black People Arthur ? Personally I have never thought it as simple as that . Firstly lets be clear what we mean when we say Black People , can we exclude Indians and Pakistanis ? Can we exclude Africans ? I believe in the main we can , Which leaves People of caribbean descent . Is it true that this Demographic Group accounts for most of the street crime in London ? I believe it does and thats the Policemans problem .

Absolutely laughable Alan , I wonder if Cressida Dick will resign this week , I was just about to ask what WV thinks on the other thread .

Still no sign of the Police Matty..........sadly ?

I haven't had a single email from CRT Matty so I was completely ignorant of what the Biscuit has posted . £185 for a hire charge , I think I need to sit down ?

Still no sign of the dreaded Wyverns

I shall try and supply the necessary pictures , hoping you are well ?

I dont know if I should be pleased or peeved by this Site but it appears Milton Keynes Marina have resumed Boat Hire which I assume is still not classed as essential movements ? ( edited to remove some accompanying links showing relevant pictures )
