The same as here ...hoppy504.
I was more of a sleeper on the site, although I made posts when I thought of something useful.

Hello Hoppy, welcome. Enjoy your time on the RAF. It’s a small but quality replica community site. Well worth sticking around.

Andy,
Have you ever visited the Bazaar type shop on Lumney Road near the Boathouse PH?. The last time I went there they had a section behind the counter for Swords, cheap Air Rifles and Replica Pistols, if I remember the pistols may have been by KWC.

There's a guy on Ingoldmells outdoor market that sells loads of AS (6mm) gear plus knives, swords, tacticool holsters and lasers etc, I don't think that he ever asks for AS membership proof either as I've seen loads of holiday makers buying gear off him and I can't see normal tourists walking around with their AS membership details in their pocket. Could be wrong but I doubt it.....  |

I think I might have to label that as a 'hate' crime.....  What's the beaches like in your county ? At least Lincolnshire has beaches buddy......   |

Usually comes out in the summer in Market Square. Very clean but a bit crowded. 🤷🏻♂️ A temporary sandpit whilst the local builders are mixing concrete can't really be classed as a beach buddy, even if council workers do 'slosh' buckets of water over the kids every now and again, anyway I've never seen a stick of rock that had Nottingham written through it, lol. There's a lot more to a seaside resort than sand, there's the chip pinching seagulls, the donkeys that shit on the beach, the unsightly off shore wind farms twirling in the distance, the handkerchief wearing, sunburned Northerners with their screaming kids that all want to eat candyfloss, ice creams and hot dogs, the stench of cannabis from the weird group of friends that all get so stoned that the tide comes in and washes most of their personal possessions away as they lay there in a semi-comatose state. Yeah, I love Skeg-Vegas.....the rides, the amusement parks, the bright lights and the eventual cost to your wallet that ultimately ends up with you just having a really bad tattoo and a 'kiss me quick, Fuk me slowly' hat to show for the whole sorry experience...... I can't wait for the good weather to get here, Skeg-Vegas here I come !  |

Not sure if the text at the bottom of the Viz poster is legible, but it says something along the lines of: 'Issued by the Mablethorpe tourist office - Mablethorpe, not as bad as Skegness'. Just to be clear, I do love Lincolnshire, (it's not full of gobby yorkshireites for starters), I worked at North Hykeham for seven years and always felt at home in Lincoln, even when I was asked to show my passport at the border... Mind you, yorkshire isn't full of gobby yorkshireites either, they are spread all over the place telling everyone how wonderful the place is. That might have rattled a few cages. |

I’ve never been to Skegness. But I do hate sand.

Well I'll be in Skeg on Friday and visiting G&T's. Then I'm having fish and chips by the sea in Mablethorpe.  |
