Mate who had his 2 heart attacks has been given the all clear to drive his own car now, but he's been asked not to over do himself, so he's sold all his Carp gear and bought all Preston Match gear, says its less strain on him. So we've been talking about all the old Coarse/Match days we used fish and its brought back some good memory's of some old course places we used to fish.

Gonna put this out there.......I've really been looking at FULL Match Setups and even people wanting to swap there Match Setuos for Carp Setups.

100% staying on the Carp Front now, reasons being.....

Can Relax more, Take the Dog n Son when I can, (not able to really when Coarse/Match Fishing), but lad can have a Dabble with his float gear.

Match fishing isn't relaxing it's a full on workout, it's kind of like the 100m sprint of the fishing world, carp fishing is more like a decathlon and I'm Daley Thompson 😂😂😂

Old thread i know, but the only one I could find

How much longer are we going to put up with the complete ack of reinvestment in our infrastructures.

My town (estimated 16,500  homes) is without water, due to a burst mains.

This has caused utter chaos all day.

These private firms pay out to the shareholders and hope everything else sorts it's self out.

Then they have the cheek to say we got to pay more.

Oil prices are another, perfect example of us being bent over

Reform is needed, just not the party.

She's a long time gone mate, but that was the start of it.

This kind of thing just shows how fragile our infrastructure is and who's going to do anything about it??

Thankfully 😂

The only people that will do something about it will probably never get the chance.

As an update, still no running water.

I do hope this won't effect the shareholders profits

Friday night mate.

Don't get me wrong, I've not had it as hard as others.

Im fortunate to have a 10000l pool in the garden, so buckets for flushing the loo.

Water came on for a few hours yesterday but was very cloudy and chalky.  We managed a shower and a few loads of washing. Ran out again by tea time.

Easily collected bottled water yesterday.
