I’m not sure they actually thought they’d get the keys so to speak. In fairness to them and I didn’t vote for them and won’t be standing up for them, they’ve got an untenable situation, which is partly how they got in, the other lot realised they couldn’t achieve anything. The whole western...

Well, just like the ones recently fired for voting against the whip on another matter. It would appear that this government does not tolerate decent as they see it.

Multiple reasons and I’m not an expert but essentially you’re buying direct through the back door and those products may not be of a satisfactory standard to be sold properly with the U.K. market. Also allegedly Temus profit model isn’t the goods as such but rather the data collection. You get a...

Or put it into covenant that they cannot take dividends unless the environmental responsibility is made, technically they shouldn’t be able to take dividends from a loss making corporation but it seems they do. The result being, it heavily impacts the shareholders and company’s ability to pay...

Hasn’t there also been a record number of discharges as well, so that despite legal action being taken the incidence hasn’t been effected. Yet anyway.

I would assume so. Paying a salary of 30m would be dopey as you’d loose in excess of half it to tax and I would doubt they’d do that. As for those other countries, which ones? The other G7 nations, the US can even get drinking water to its people.

Tbh and I don’t like posting negativity because there’s too much of it about but the things that concern me aren’t the rise in popularity of any aspect of angling. Your average angler is middle aged with little interest from the younger generation. The youth development of this pursuit is...

Guru speed beads. Makes changing the business end a doddle and saves on materials.

6mm used to be a size I used on the hook regularly. Feeding a mixture of 4s and 6s. I’ve used 4mm but tbh it wasn’t particularly successful and resulted in undesirable bycatch and it whittles away too fast. You can get predrilled 6mm which are perfect for superglue hair rigs.

I don’t think a day will ever come where nearly standing on a Pheasant and the resulting chaos does t make me jump.

If you keep up the habit of feeding them at night you’ll teach them to keep it up. My little shoal of Tench were perfectly happy to feed off the top in daylight.

Mine do. They have a subject, I suppose you could call it which they refer to as Forest School. They go outside, do all the stuff they should, building dens and learning about Trees etc. I did this with them anyway but obviously not all parents do. They absolutely love it.

It will present change, that’s life isn’t it but we will find a way around it. That is, if it ever comes to pass.

Look it up. Those are the rough prices per tonne, not the value per tonne at the scrap yard. As you say it’s denser, with it being denser it behaves differently and is more subtle which is why it’s great for jig heads. It’s not a pipe dream, it’s already a thing. We’re using them commonly for...

I don’t really see this as a major issue, it’s an odd priority in the grand scheme but thats not new. We’ve probably all got miles of expensive unused cycle lanes next to a road covered in pot holes in our local area… Lead isn’t the only high mass per volume material we can use, some of my jig...
