Barbel Fishing Attire

[Adrian Williams]

Ade Williams in ski apparel? Ade Williams - Man of Action, delivering chocolates to beautiful women in far flung isolated chalets before escaping the armed guards? Nope, can't see it myself.

I see you more in your summer wear y' know, the long khaki shorts and pith helmet

You mean this one Dave.

Did you get the fox done by the same place that did Ian's barbel?

 

[Dave Burr]

I rest my case M' Lud

For some strange reason Rich Frampton seems to think that my angling (I don't do fishing as I leave that to the professionals) attire is amusing. He has requested that I post this photograph he took of me preparing luncheon for my assistants, as he is apparently a little technically challenged in such matters. I think he has caught me baffled expression quite well.....

Hi men ,

Will .

Shooting sticks , not seats , are the way froward . I once made a shooting stick as an apprentice piece for Judge James Kingham , an Old Baily judge . It came out really well , and was presented to him during a visit to Vauxhalls in Luton . A while later I received a nice letter from him , commenting on its quality , and permission to use the letter as a reference as well .

I always see it as a " get out of Jail card "

Kingham, a fine climber and mountaineer in his day...unfortunately for you Mark I think he may be dead now so you are unlikely to be up before him on a poaching charge! I always find "standing on the square" whilst asking forgiveness from "the great architect" works in such cases...although check the beak in question isn't a papist first as you may find yourself doing time for a speeding ticket.

The Chairman on Saturday

Subject: Coming Soon


And the sooner the better, I say. Put the oiks back in the place they belong and all that. Been getting ruddy fractious and uppity in recent years - ideas above their station (Balham) and all that.

Young Harrovians sneered at by young Londoners outside the annual Eton-Harrow Cricket Match, 1937


Which reminds me - ask young Olga to send Thank You letters to the flyfishers, hedgies and bankers who so generously donated - "How much was it, Deirdre? A quarter of a million...? Half, you say - my word..." - to our Rivers Trust without so much as a word about coming down to fish.


As ever,
