Those who suffer cold hands should be at home. For the hardier souls, Zippo handwarmers are on offer at Amazon.co.uk for around about £14/£15. Best price that I have seen for a long time. Sir Rannulph recommends these. He suffered frost-bite some years ago to the tips of his fingers and...

A right to live, yes, but in its own habitat. Rats living in a sewer are probably not too much of a problem. But having them scampering around your house is not so good and then control is exercised.

Music to my ears.

No probs, Robbie.

Although this topic has been done to death in the past, Glasgow Angling Centre are doing a floatation suit, Fisheagle for £80. Reviews ain't bad.

Hi Robbie, I'll buy them from you. Regards, Jim Stu, If you are still interested, I'll sell you the 8lb at £6, which sound very fair to me.

I'm right with Richard on this one. As Rich pointed out there have been many replies and views which demonstrates the great interest generated by Richard's original post. Again as Richard mentioned in his post, inevitably, we would all get on well on the bankside and hence my suggestion of a get...

By sheer coincidence, I did put on a wetsuit so that I could dive a local river. Incidentally, I am a qualified diver having undertaken a BSAC course many years ago. I would not recommend anybody reading this to attempt this feat without the necessary rigorous training. A couple of years...

Mmmm.. I hadn't considered that. The point that I was trying to make was that Richard's topic has merit and deserved some in-depth thought. I hope that Richard adds some photos to see if we can try and be more specific with our responses. I think that the signal krayfish theory could be on the...

Welcome Gerry, you have certainly come to the correct site for oodles of information from many helpful contributors. Keep the posts coming there's always someone on line waiting to give advice and help.

Not a chair that I could possibly use. The description is all about how wonderful it is in bivvy situations, inside the bivvy, outside the bivvy, in the middle of the bivvy. On that basis it lacks that little bit of "Je ne sais quoi," not something for the discerning barbel angler. If I saw a...

Hi Richard, This topic has certainly created a great deal of interest and deserves further thought. Unfortunately, there are people on here who have created silly, puerile and unnecessary diversions. I can assure you that the bulk of the membership have no time for these time wasters. After all...

That's a rubbish version. Val Doonican's version acclaimed to be the finest and as a performer, second only to Barry Manilow.

Thanks Craig. On the threats to our rivers and stillwater, I believe that the vast majority of anglers share common goals: Reduce cormorant predation - in my view probably one of our more serious threats. Get on top of the EE illegal fishing problem Try and reach some agreement on the...

Hi Graham, sent p.m. Read it first before baling out.

Yes, they do. The unhooking mats made for the Scottish angler can be ordered in a pleasing tartan. There are quite a few tartans available, the standard one is the Prince of Wales tartan. Others available to special order. An attraction of these particular mats is that a percentage is donated to...

Well, Graham, it's a question of respect. Those of us who have completed many posts tend to be held in awe and esteem by New Members. There is an unwritten code on this website that senior members should not be criticised or be held in contempt notwithstanding moderation or words which are...

Hi Richard, Let me introduce myself and consider me to be your friend. For in the past I have been much pilloried and mocked. You will need or develop a thick hide on this Site. There are some very nice people who will help greatly in the quest for knowledge. Others, who I should not really...

What I find a little bit of a worry is that this topic has received a third of the hits compared to the Winter Suits thread. I believe that someone else made this point as well. You won't need Winter Suits if cormorant predation continues unchecked. If you do get into discussion with the RSPB...
