Ergo, claims are erroneous that Jeremy didn't participate in blood sports. Incidentally, if he was shooting with the landlord of his local, I'll willing to bet that much of the day's kill ended up on the menu of that excellent hostelry!!!!

Absolutely!

The lazy greedy Jeremy Bamber never did anything for nothing — he’d have charged the pub landlord for any birds he’d killed, and they don’t come cheap.  My nephew shoots and the money that changes hands for birds such as pheasants etc is astonishing!

So Jeremy Bamber certainly wouldn’t have gone shooting without getting paid!

Possibly he got paid in kind----ie free drinks and meals in the pub in exchange for whatever he gave the landlord. Im sure I read that he had  such an arrangement in respect to crops grown at the farm.

Pheasants are expensive because they cost money to buy or breed and to raise, apart from those which have escaped and are living wild.

There have been pheasants living wild for centuries. They are common where I live (north east).

Their numbers are increasing all the time too. While being reared they are classed as livestock, but once released they become classed as wild birds. Around 35 million birds per year are released. Not all are shot, so the wild pheasant population grows all the time, despite predators and the pheasant's kamikaze habits.

According to Jean Boutell's statement on 8/8/85 June Bamber slept on the right side of the double bed "when standing at the foot facing the head". That means she didn't walk round the foot of the bed after all, doesn't it?

No that's what the Eatons claim he said which might or might not be accurate.  In his police interview JB responded as follows:
