according to the ofcom web site you can use a two way radio as long as it carnt be used as a bobile phone as well 10/4 Good Buddy  But they come under the same rules as mobile phones, so you can be done for using it while driving.

I have a fully banded Colt Excalibur homebase similar to the old Ham International Jumbo but with a nice silver front instead of the black. If anyone wants it they go for well over a hundred on ebay plus a lot in postage coz of the weight. If any interest I'll post it in the for sale section with pics and a video of it working  Oh and maxdavo I know your brother well. Tell him Steve the hippy said hi.
