Last night I settled down for a quiet evening on one of my club lakes.
Within an hour 4 blokes arrived 40 yards away (one fishing) and preceeded to talk to each other at a decibel level quite out of keeping with anything where other people are within a million miles. Every other word was F*** this and F***** that and I was so offputting I considered packing up. Once the balliff came round they dispersed and it went quiet
Then the two blokes two swims apart on the far bank decided to do the same and I had another two hours of high volume swearing and general annoyance
I'm very tolerant and experience has taught me that telling 4 blokes to shut up doesn't usually end well.
If its not bite alarms at ridiculous screaming levels its just general lack of consideration for anyone else that grinds my gears. Is it just me or do we just accept it now ?
As a footnote it was nice to see the balliff doing rig checks on people as they have had a lot of Carpers using barbed. He even checked my float rig to see if I had anything bigger than a 14 that should have been barbless. Good Ballifing I think. My first check in 25 years
