There's a really nice rifle that I would like for sale at the mo but as I'm in North Devon and it is up in Leeds with a genuine 20 hrs non stop and no traffic (which is just impossible) I'm affraid it is just would really like. Other people may have the money, time and freedom and good luck to them. I remember those days.......

Actually before we were married and lived in Cheltenham with me and her on decent money I did do a fair bit of driving for rifles; buying and selling. Laybys and Motorway services; great for arms dealing.
Bideford - Leeds = 20 hours What are you driving - a milk float!!!

Similarly, £140 in fuel??? even at 35 mpg that's 835 miles...and I suspect the vast majority of sales will be lot closer than Glasgow!

Not exactly an realistic argument....
