Although that place is  up the road from me and namesake, there is no relation.
I had an escort ( that was a nissan almera in pics) i used at 2 meetings but it was as slow as a slug lol.
Also got this Puma which have used for 2 meetings, very quick little car, just straightening it out now for last meeting  at end of month

Very good. I know humans who show less emotion than that.

This is going to be fabulous.

BP1 just blew me away, I watched the first episode in a London hotel room and I was so taken by it that I rang my dad immediately afterwards. He hadn't caught the first screening so I tried to explain to him how staggeringly beautiful it was.

I'd been going on about it for about half an hour when, almost breathless with excitement, I finally paused.

The line was silent for a long moment, and then he said in his quiet Lancashire voice,

"I don't like fishes"

Actually, this is better.

I'll bet the shop that when you see this, you'll be off to google to find out what those numbers mean.

PS - So did I. Amazing what we can learn messing about on the internet.

Listen mush, my moles contain more atoms than anyone else's. Fact!

I wanted to do a quick video about the benefits teaching your dog 'loose control' as opposed to what I would call 'tight control'.

You're all familiar with tight control. You see it at Cruft's in the obedience segment, or at any dog obedience trial event. Tight control is where the dog walks to heel as if it was glued to your leg, and often twists its head around so that it can look up into your face while it's walking.

During a tight control 'stay' the dog is put into a specific position and made to hold that exact position until released. All very pretty, but not very practical.

Loose control means that walking to heel gets translated into 'walking reasonably close'. This means that the dog must not stray more than about ten feet away from you but can still have a smell around and enjoy the walk rather than concentrating on your leg. Also, you can only keep one dog in the tight heel position, but you can keep several dogs under loose control at the same time.

The usual rigid 'Stay' becomes 'you have to stay where you are, but you can adopt any position'. Much more comfortable if the dog has to wait for quite a while or the ground is wet.

I was disappointed with the sound on this little video, but it gives you a rough idea.

Ignore the state of the dogs. They've been bog-snorkling for the last half hour.

Tom, if a rabbit appeared from a hedgerow 30 yards in front of them would they stay in loose control? This is where our 7yo Westie 'fails' - he'd be off like a shot and suddenly deaf.
