Great response.
I've no dog in the fight either way; I was just interested in hearing people's perceptions of why these things are frowned upon. 
The fishery and natural world makes a great point. A brolly, bed-chair, and bag are more than serviceable in the summer months (mostly) and look way better than a crowded bank. I can see the point of having a full tent set-up during the winter months, however. 

Carp fishing has been an almost impenetrable cult for ages. 
I got into it relatively late on but was supported by a history of silver-fish and river fish angling. I could cloak my inexperience. 
Imagine walking into a tackle shop now and asking for a beginners set-up. It would just be an incredible learning curve.

Well, I didn't get a sniff of a bite. Saw very little in the way of breaching fish or activity and the damned goose meant I got an awful night's kip anyway. 
I don't think I'll be back. Like you say, it looks the absolute  nuts but if there's nowt there then there's nowt there. 

The spin doctor worked well on one reel. Unfortunately it's resting at the bottom of Foremark Reservoir because I didn't tie it to the second reel well. 
Caught 4 at a lake near me over the weekend. Ledger and sweetcorn. Zero bites on my hair rig, however.

Oh yeah absolutely.
Just didn't know if it was an easy fix. Fingers crossed its all sorted now.
