Nobody mentioned fish!!!! shakeshout

So are you saying at Ponteland A range, you would need a north sentry, a south sentry AND someone on the car park gate??? Wouldn't be a bad idea actually, from a security point of view as I have been in the car park when a couple just walked in, nonchalantly walked to the end of the car park, looked like they were pretending to look in the distance and walked back out before I had time to say anything to them.
Remember, we're all here because we're not all there!

Its a brave person that steals from a group of armed men lol Probably just curious. Like the family a few years ago that bypassed the sentries and then appeared on the top of the backstop and started setting up a picnic to eat while they watched the shooting wtf kukkuk 5mith :run:
