I've thought about this a lot, ever since spending two nights at the famous "Bunkhouse" at the Black Bull in Ribchester.
Let's face it, we all love to travel and fish lots of different waters in the course of a year. The problem is not the cost of travelling, especially if you have a car like mine, it is the cost of spending a night near the river, or whatever sort of water takes your fancy.
With this in mind I propose that some enterprising person set up a chain of doss houses for anglers throughout the country. Let's face it, we don't need much, just a place to drop our bedchairs and a decent breakfast in the morning. Those who want a shower or a bath are being just a little oversensitive in my view, and anyway, soap is not a great flavour on maggots, casters or boilies.
These doss houses need cost no more than ?3 a night. On arrival, you pay your money and give a deposit of say 50p on your thunder bucket. Corkage on alcoholic drinks brought by the patron is 1p per bottle, can or carton.
You will be required to slop-out by 5-30 am each morning. Then you will present yourself for breakfast which will consist of a thick gruel from a massive pot, served by an equally massive Ruffe Slapper who will keep you all in order. Further services by the Ruffe Slapper will be avaiable to order on request.
The qualification to spend a night in an angler's doss house will be production of a fishing licence.
What do all of you think? Personally I think this is a great idea.
