I've just read the snippet about the AT disabled angler gaff. I tried to access the press site to do with the article but it is strangely unavailable.
I personally know one of the England disabled squad members. Terry Moseley - who is also one of the founder members of The British Disabled Anglers Association - is one of the hardest working people I have ever known. Despite being confined to a wheelchair Terry works endlessly for disabled anglers up and down the country. I had the pleasure of helping out at a diabled children's day a couple of years ago. The amount of effort put into these events is unbelievable. To make any sort of derogatory comment about Terry or the other members of England team is, in my book, unforgivable. It may have been a slip of the tongue but that slip shows that the attitude of this young reporter is way out of line. I can only imagine he or she - sorry I don't know the gender of the person involved perhaps Graham could enlighten us - thought they were working for something like Viz comic.
You can guess from this that I'm very angry. I'm more so because at the moment Terry, who has MS by the way, is totally exhausted after just coming back from the World Championships.
Sorry for the rant, I just hope you understand why.
