    RIP River Colne.

    Dave, same sentiments as the rest. The Bristol Avon, as Clive says, is already in dire delcine. The trouble with the otters v the fish this time, is that the fish are in their natural environment and the otters are not. The otters were dead and gone. Finished. And then they were...

    Otter lover gets her views across

    And i think that many see fish as just food and it's ok to let the otters and anything else have a go at them. After all, they are only fish. I once wrote in to a paper to complain about a biased article on otters, and this was very much the main view that the author pointed out. His second...

    Facebook vs B.F.W

    Trouble is Graham, is that the majority don't want to do the fish ins and the leg work, and are only interested in the instant gratification side of things. And then they come on BFW and post their photo and story and take the plaudits and it drives them to do it more. I was one of the posters...

    Lets all get out and pull some Himalayan Balsam

    Steven, totally agree with you...... And that's on any subject!!

    Flooding and drought?

    For those of you that are as concerned as the points being made here, why don't you swap to bottled water for your needs? It's manginally more expensive, slightly less good for you (although not bad) and conserves what we have. Stop drinking and they'll stop supplying. Isn't that what you...

    Flooding and drought?

    Maybe we should open a "what really happened in the Kennedy shooting" The conspiricy theorys are almost funny. Obviously some people missed the classes about business and economics. Please, get a grip of reality and understand supply and demand. Thats a really good one to start with...

    Hose pipe ban's!!

    Dave, fact is irrefutable? Agree? Water prices, and increases are set by the government ( or in the case of non government) Quango. OFWAT. The prices reflect the amount of investment, capital expenditure for the benefit of the infrastructure, customer service, leak repair, and other...

    Hose pipe ban's!!

    Dave, of course you're entitled to your opinion, and i wouldn't want to quash your beliefs that everything is down to profits and priveate companies, if that's what you really want to convince yourself of fella! ;) Absolutely right Dave, well done chap! The thing is, is how do you think they...

    Hose pipe ban's!!

    There are long explanations for both public and private Rhys. The fact that they have always been run for profit is irrefutable. The fact that most companies networks and infrastructure are incalculably better now than before is beyond reproach. Leakage figures are improving year on...

    Hose pipe ban's!!

    Dave, nice one, and i agree. Rhys, have you ever tried to complete a hydraulic system and maintain an enforced (although necessary) pressure? It's a bit like trying to hold a double handful of sand and not drop any grains. Whilst some companies have fallen woefully short of leakage targets...

    Hose pipe ban's!!

    No Dave, i don't have all the answers. Neither do i profess to. But what i also don't do, is sit in judgement, or criticise those who at least work, or try to help resolve these issues. Why does the water come out of the rivers, boreholes and other sources in the first place, and why is...

    Hose pipe ban's!!

    What's that then? Like customers and everything else that uses water? Really bizarre situation. If the water companies were to say, ok, no water to anyone on Saturday, do you think people would accept it? I love the way that everyone's got a gripe to toss in to the pot, but you never hear...

    Stunning indeed!!! Beautiful fish and a great picture of it as well. Brilliant to see someone smiling when they catch a great fish like that. That's how a picture should be. Many congratulations.
