Problem with Thermos is they don't go any bigger than 1.2l, which isn't enough for me. Yes, I could get two 1l flasks, but two of those take up more space and are heavier than one 1.9/2l.

Thanks chaps. A bit cheaper than the Zojirushi too. And an extra...however many cups of tea 400mls equates to.

My trusty old Zojirushi flask has given up the ghost (I say given up the ghost, I actually dropped it and now there's a crack running almost the full length of the internal container). Before I get another of the same make, I thought I'd ask if there are any others I should be looking at. My...

I hate to break the illusion for some of you, but 99% of christmas specials are filmed at some point between July and November, and that has always been the case since TV christmas specials were first a thing. The majority of the 1976 Morecambe & Wise christmas special, for example, was filmed...

If it's the sketch I'm thinking of (a Jack Dent and Eric Potter one) from The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer, there's no fishing in it, they're just dicking about by/in a river. The BBC probably hired it for the day to film the sketch rather than to go fishing.

Oh, of course, I'm not saying we should all be of the same opinion about the show, nor was my overall response directed at you Bob, I'm just fed up of people (not on this forum I hasten to add) saying that Bob and Paul's relationship is clearly contrived for the cameras and there's no chemistry...

There have been many "quiet" and quite touching moments in all of the series so far, not just about their own experiences, but also memories of family etc. Bob talking very openly about his dad's death and Paul spreading ashes in one of the episodes (not actually filmed) being two examples...

Just a point about the aforementioned RSPCA in all this - it should be noted they LONG distanced themselves from outright anti sentiment MANY years ago (if memory serves back when I was fishing in the 90s) and have been "okay" with "responsible" angling ever since. In fact I believe they even...

I'm not at all familiar with the river, but words fail me all the same. THIS (and the water pollution business) is the sort of stuff anglers should be making a very public song and dance about, not...y'know, the other thing...

Love the doggos. What is it with dogs and catalytic converters being stolen at the moment? There isn't a day that goes by where one or both don't pop up on my Facebook feed with photos of the suspects. Have we time traveled back to the 90s?!?!?!? What's next - VW and Mercedes badges?

Even less than that Chris - I'm still only relatively recent back to fishing (re-started in 2016) having stopped in the late 90s and one of the main things I noticed when I came back was how heavy the hardware and end tackle had got - avon rods for perch and chub, 1.5lb+ rods for tench and...

I might do John, or perhaps offer it up on here first. But I WILL give it at least one go this year so I can at least say I've tried it.

Indeed - that belongs on the front cover of a book. Absolute monster of a photo.

Dick Walker's fishing hut has let itself go.

Lovely with chips and gravy.

That's got me thinking - how long does a species have to be established before it can be considered to be native? Has the barbel not been a resident of UK rivers long enough? Is it still thought of as an immigrant species and, if so, does that mean it will never be considered as a native...

If I came across that I would think it was built and being lived in by a serial killer and immediately turn around and go somewhere else. Miles away.

It was one of the first pins I ever got, already well used when I got it. I know they have a solid (and increasing) fanbase but, as you say, they're not the most free running (and mine had so much use it probably won't even work for trotting unless there's a VERY strong flow), and for ledgering...

That covers about 90% of beer in the UK doesn't it? ...not sure who that answer supports/defends😂

Already got one Neil!:p
