Watching BBC - Am right now. The chef Ramsey was shown in the woods with his son and the landowner. He had an unidentifiable boxlock, and he was shooting - ROOK! Says he wants to reintroduce this bird to the English dining public. He didn't shoot them on the wing, rather off high branches. The first thing that jarred my aging brain when I heard the word rook was of course YOUR rook gun. I couldn't remember the details, but through the fog it seemed to be a rifle rather than a shotgun. Am I correct? And, of course, do you still have your rook gun, or has it gone the way of your damascus barreled Lang? Please take the time from the duties of your manor and illuminate us, as indeed you always have. Many Thanks - Marc
