I think Dave may be inadvertantly letting out a sly one, judging by the facial contortions ;-)

Gav is correct....I live in Stockport and he regards me as living in Kensington and Chelsea! What Gav has failed to realise is the photo depicts a Southern angler at the very moment the photographer says "We have fish that big in't lodges at Farnworth"

(Farnworth being a rich and rural verdant pasture land in the south of Bolton)

 

[Big Rik]

more likely the look when we say we have barbel as big as that down South....


(I never thought I'd see verdant and Bolton in the same sentence)

 

[Gav Barbus]

Farnworth is a fine and pleasant province of Bolton Rik as Posh depicts,oh the days of the marathon up plodder lane grand days indeed for such simple folks like us.

 

[Big Rik]

I suppose my view of up t'north are tainted by the times I spent in Oldham and Ashton.
The flea market in Ashton on a Tuesday, where nobody wore a smile, were quite amusing to this rich southerner and the trail of desperate people in and out of Cash Convertors was amusing.

my office is in Bolton, would that BOLTON, would that rich and rural verdant pasture land be that field behind the drug centre

 

[Poshpaul (Angling Trust and PaSC)]

Used to go out with a girl from Farnworth!

Gav...that marathon would it be the running one, or the one that featured a few ales and a possible stop at Highfield Angling...if it were open? I worked in Bolton town centre and in Westhoughton (lovely folk are the cowy-heads). It honestly did me no harm. Ah ....Sandra Tattersall...where is she now?

Still...does it make a southern big ratfish angler smile?

 

[Gav Barbus]

A few ales for me Posh ,none of that running rubbish,Highfield tackle does tend to open its doors when it pleases these days it seems,I am not sure if the famous England chap still owns it though as it wasnt open when I visited last .
