I would rather pay a lot more, and get a decent service. Which I think is what Matt is saying.
There you have it....better service, better service levels.higher cost, higher expectation.I would rather pay a lot more, and get a decent service. Which I think is what Matt is saying.
It is good value... I cannot think of any top professional service you can get for 50 quid an hour. How much is a plumber for an hour?
So to grant people a license for a gun... My estimate is this:
Check for a record.... 30 mins work
Home visit 30 mins + travel time and expense
GP Check 30 mins + GP expense
Plus the salary of the police and civilian staff (yes, we already pay for that in our council taxes.... But we should chip in for the extra work)
And the we expect good service as well.
I am not being ridiculous, I am thinking economics.
That depends where you live.Take your point .I believe we get a good service now
You tight wad. Buy cheaper shells with smaller metal heads.Wow! You Boys spend £50 on a night out? You really are high flyers!
I still expect change from a fiver. And that's for two of us.
I don't get out much!
SGC's are very good value to police forces too...every one they issue, gives that person who is granted a certificate an even stronger reason to stay on the straight and narrow!!! I know lots of certificate holders who have been in situations where they have walked away or backed down from a fight/incident/trouble because they don't want to loose their SGCIt is good value...

So bearing this quote in mind and the one above. If farmers don't need a cert. they can go out fighting, cause incidents / trouble.I want it to go back to the old system where farmers were exempt from needing a SGC...
The "farmer exemption" quip was toung in cheek, as it will never and should never be reinstated. Rosso, you too can have "free pigeon shooting"...£1,000,000 for a nice small arable farm, 2 second hand tractors and forklift at £50,000 ea, second hand combine £70,000, second hand baler £10,000, 1st year seed, fertiliser and fuel £150,000+... = free pigeon shooting!!!So bearing this quote in mind and the one above.

Mmmmm I would make them pay double as they get their pigeon shooting for free.
