For all you long stay anglers

Got to get me one of them Andy :)

The cardboard one is funny, Clarkson tried it on Top Gear and flattened it when he sat down!!!:D
 
I just love the description on the website;

"Okay, so squatting on a cardboard box isn’t the most luxurious way to lose your Bungle’s fingers, but it certainly does the job when you’re touching cloth in the middle of nowhere."

Good, honest advertising :D:D
 
i am really serious about getting a portable loo as used in boats and caravans
but only to be taken if parking is closeby
 
I have a portapotty but only use it when camping with the family, when fishing I normally rely on the good old 10ltr bucket with a bin liner in it. A drop of the blue chemical at the beginning of the weekend keeps the smell to an acceptable level and I normally deposit the bag in a lay-by waste bin on the way home.
For nights sleeping in the van you can't beat the comfort bottle.

And don't even start feeling sorry for the bloke who has to empty the bin, he should have put more effort in in school.:D

Excellent:D:D
 
Adrien, just a friendly warning mate, anyone caught disposing of the contents of a portable loo if its been treated with the chemicals apart from in purpose made stations is a very serious offence! mate it carries fines of thousands of pounds, be careful;)

Had to titter to my self, this (really happend), back in the early ninties we where fishing a match on the Trent, it was the middle of winter and freezing with a hard frost, one of the blokes Frank, was taken short at the draw and rushed into near by bushes, he dropped his green all in one quilted suit and started to deploy the logs, he then walked back all proud and releaved and threw his hood up onto his head rubbing his hands for the draw, he had dropped most of the afforementioned logs into his hood, and as he threw his hood onto his head he got covered in his own pooo, the draw was about half an hour late for everybody pi***in themselves.
 
"Bungle's fingers"

Not heard that description before, but I do like it.

On the subject of Rainbow - sort of - a college friend in the 1980s used to refer to videos 'of a grown-up and Swedish nature' as 'Rod, Jane and Freddy films' - because they invariably starred an unattractive blonde and two men with facial hair. And **** music.

Always preferred Zippy myself.

Back on topic - prefer Andy's model, looks a little more robust. A Realtree version could capture the market.
 
This "long stay" stuff. None of you have done it until you have done what an old pal of mine, Kevin, did on a Colne Valley pit years and years before the Rods and Richies arrived: on the water so long that he was part of the local milkman's round, ending up, legend has it, settling the bill only at the end of the month.
 
Thanks John, I think that's an old bit of legislation which was relevant to business users and the old chemicals which contained formaldehyde, (my grandparents owned a 600 pitch caravan site), the modern chemicals are biodegradable, and while businesses (caravan sites) still have to be licensed for disposal the average Joe has nothing to worry about.
But it's a simple fix, I'll save myself a few bob and stop using the chemicals.
 
Does anyone remember the late Alan Wilson who died on the banks of his favourite lake, (Wiltstone I think), pursuing great football shaped early season Tench?
 
I could have sworn it was Tench, I remember the pictures of him looking like uncle Albert off only Fools and horses holding these great big, (for the time) tench, dribbling spawn and looking fit to burst.
