Local gun shop has only three Pensioners at a time rule.
This trend might come to your favourite toy shops!

If we're talking about TALARMS then they've always been a bit weird or is it the funny little one in Tuckton which you can only get 3 people in at a time anyway?

I think you'll find that more than three pensioners at a time and it becomes classed as a friendly club outing.

The "Funny Little One" in Tuckton is no more, the owner Gilly Howe sadly died last year.

Lol .. a bit like the old one about IKEA - they advertised in the press and handed out leaflets to anyone with a beard at the new opening of a branch and said NO ENTRY to anyone with a beard ....Lol - some people actually believed it , Like me .

Three pensioners at a time is pushing it a bit. The risk and consequences of heart attacks, falls, strokes...let alone the impact of emergency services response times is too much a risk - maybe one at a time is more manageable? Being a pensioner, and memory fading, it causes great inconvenience when entering pin numbers that are forgotten or miss-typed, resulting in the bank/card account being suspended and no transaction, this leads to impatience and anger in the queue of the youngsters waiting to be served and the shopkeeper going ballistic, with further risk of heart attack and loss of a good business.....

Power to the boingers.....

That's a shame, I always found him very helpful, if you could get in the place, he always had something a bit different in the window.

That's a shame, I always wanted to visit his shop. Apparently he was a very interesting chap .....I did hear a story about him and was it Paddy Ashdown ?.......

Gilly was a top bloke with a very interesting life history. A real been there, done that guy. To say he was the elite of the elite would not be far off the mark.

I think there should be a 1 or no pensioner rule....drives me bloody mad.
....can be a nightmare when one is in....too much time on their hands, long tales to tell and 20 questions....purchasing a tin of pellets at knibbs the other day i had to butt in or could of been there my whole lunch hr...
Maybe have special pensioner days that can be avoided.....or increased rates for pensioners..

Yep, it was Paddy Ashdown, I believe Gilly and his unit led or rescued him from a bad situation in the Malaysian jungle a while back. As you say, very interesting guy, apparently the most highly decorated soldier since WW2, shooting medals he called them.

Used to sit in his lounge hearing some interesting stories. One time he worked as undercover security on cruise ships masquerading as a rich businessman dining with his wife at the captains table.
