And me….

Apologies for resurrecting this thread but I’ve just bought a Thermos King 1.2l flask in our local Home Sense shop for £19.99, which seems like a bargain price to me. They had several others in various colours and you may find them in your local T K Maxx too, as that is the parent company of...

PM sent.

Only when it stops and men in military outfits and with balaclavas hiding their faces pile out of the van…..,,,😁😁😁

Certainly do. PM sent.

Adam, The builder’s notes say they are 2.25 tc but your ad header says 2.5. Which is correct? Not interested in the rods but just wouldn’t want anyone to buy them thinking they are more powerful than they actually are. Dave

Cheers Rich. Let me know when you’ve found them and I’ll sort out the payment. Dave

If nobody else wants them, I’ll take the Korum minis off you, Rich. Dave

I seem to recall that there was a strongly held difference of opinion in a discussion within this forum. Perhaps that is the reason they have left? IIRC, both seemed to be aggrieved at some of the comments made…. Dave

Thanks for that, Mike. Just topped up on a few bits and bobs ahead of the new season. Always good to get a discount and free delivery!😉 Dave

I’ll take one please Rich. Dave

The best part is that they’ll usually charge the earth and then refuse to insure it, so why take the risk?! Dave

Each to their own, Paul. I picked up an MB Drennan barbel rod in a closing down sale a few years back and absolutely hated it. Stiff as a poker. Much prefer a more through actioned rod as I generally don’t have to cast to the horizon or use weights over 2 - 3oz on my local rivers. Dave

From a practicality point of view, if the 11’ rod will do the job why bother with a longer rod which may not get you into all the swims you want to cover?🙂 Dave

And some of it could be put towards upgrading the sewage works and the drainage system in general…..

Or perhaps moving it around from one part of the country to another….🙁 They seem to get far too much in the north and Scotland while we, in the south and east suffer regular drought conditions. Perhaps that’s Scotland‘s plan for independence, sell their excess water to us…..😜 Dave

Some potentially depressing reading in this Guardian article. Hopefully the forecasters have got it wrong but it could be another difficult summer if they haven’t…...

Just for the record, a chub weighing 8.04 was reported from Throop on the Dorset Stour a couple of weeks ago. Details, including a photo, can be found on the public Throop FB page. Dave

As I see it, the main problem is that the sanctions applied by the regulators are primarily fines on the companies. This may have some short term impact on profits but in the end it is us who end up paying the fines through increased charges. The only way to shake these businesses up and drive...

Popped in to my local store and checked out the rucksack. Seems of reasonable quality although not sure who would want to attach a rod on either side of the front with the velcro straps provided for that purpose, but I’m sure they can be put to other uses (bank sticks perhaps?). Anyway, It has...
