A pity you didn't forget to listen when they banned ownership of semi-auto rifles and pistols.

A good sight to see, Anglo Saxon heritage at it's best :D

Stuart - I completely agree with you & have that little discussion with Mrs FMs huntin' chums on a regular basis

"Anglo-Saxon heritage"? Rubbish.
Fox Hunting is a Victorian invention, much like the Druids. Only in the chocolate box walting & weekending world of the countryside theme park alliance do such things represent the mystery and awe of timeless tradition.
Parish boundaries - now that's "Anglo Saxon heritage at it's best."

Well it may not have permeated to parts of darkest Mendip until the Victorian era, but fox hunts were established on this side of the puddle long before our free-born English ancestors won our independence from another mad tyrant. And before the fox, there was the wild boar, and the deer (Oh, I forgot, the monarch banned that one too!)
