I can't speak for the Whitby handwarmers, but they do resemble the Peacocks closely and they are very reliable. I actually phoned the the guy that sells them when I had a similar problem. He told me simply to hold the handwarmer upside down while lighting it. Works a treat! Also, you may need a...

My wife uses a couple of Peacock handwarmers of similar design to the review product for our night-time/winter sea angling sessions. They've been on the go for a good 6 years and work as well today as they did when new. I note that the Peacocks currently sell for £25.95 + £2.95 p&p, so if the...

Refund received Chris You didn't need this hassle, but thanks for trying to help out.

I'm a bit confused by this. Have any of these cookers been delivered? I still don't have either a cooker or a refund, so I'd be grateful if anyone can clarify the current position.

I'm astonished to discover that only 4 out of a list of 15 people paid their deposit. It's a poor response considering the trouble Chris G has taken to get the ball rolling. As one of the 4 who paid a deposit, I can't really see how this group buy can go ahead given the lack of support.

Is this Group Buy still going ahead? Everything seems to have gone quiet.

Thanks for the additional comments, folks - my mate is much relieved that he hadn't stumbled on a murder scene!

Aye, I think that puts the "seal" on it (ouch!). Thanks for all your help on this ID.

Looks like a kind of prawn trap. Does it open up any? It looks as if there's a wire loop at the base.

Aye, good shout Toddy! Not a dolphin, I don't think, as it there seems to be a hip bone present. There's loads of dolphins around the Angus coastline mind you, but it could certainly be a seal - the length would be about right.

Aye, I'm trying to reassure him of that lol! He reckons that the visible skelton was about 4.5ft long.

Can anyone help me identify this partial skeleton? My mate found it on a beach today and he's worried about foul play! http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z284/tintock/UnidentifiedBones.jpg

The latest episode of the BBC's Grow Your Own Drugs series had a recipe for lemon balm lip salve for cold sores which incorporated honey. The recipe can be found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/tv/features/growyourowndrugs/episode4.shtml The presenter says that the honey is included not just to...

Thanks for keeping us up-to-date!

Hi lads! A quick suggestion for you if you're quick! If you get down to your local Lidl's, you might be lucky enough to pick up a cheap telescopic rod/fixed-spool reel for your adventures! They might not be top quality, but the gear is so cheap it could almost be viewed as "single-use". There...

Thanks folks - nice to be here! :)

Can you add my name to the list? Put me down for 1 please.

Just a quick hello from a new member. I'm a bit rusty on bushcraft as my scouting days are almost a distant memory lol! So I think I'll be doing more reading than contributing for the present, but I hope that will change!
