In a world where a "That will do attitude" is the norm I am always pleased to receive good service but at the same time delighted when I receive exceptional service and so its only fair that the company responsible should be named and that company is Pallatrax A big thumbs up especially to...

TOWIE Damian! - NUHFO - a working life with the NHS both for and selling to it gave me more than enough acronyms to feed me for life. It does save the fingers though from all that extra typing - TTFN ATB Les

Given that my copy is now winging its way to me via Pony Express I thought it a justifiable enough reason to post now and bump this back on to page one. I cannot believe that it was 4 years ago that I submitted a review of Jon's - A Can of Worms - to BFW for publication. At that time I didn't...

Thanks Graham - I will follow it up. I hope you are well and still managing a few days on the Wye. atb Les

Merry Xmas to one and all from me too. Bob - cracking photo - which reminds me, I'm seeing the mother-in-law this Xmas (only kidding). :)

George Couldn't let this post pass without a mention of our very own (as in BFW) authors; Paul Bootes book on Mahseer fishing in India - Somewhere down the Crazy River and my mate Jon Berry's - Can of Worms - A History of Barbel Fishing and the men who fished for them. Both books are must...
