Phil: I never stated i was the man for the job...merely passing comment, which i'm sure you can agree much of which is viable! As for my Angling career...and CV, i dont know who you are, or what you have done, however, in thiry five years of Angling, i have represented teams in most National events, Scotland in the World Club Champs, several clubs and associations, two of which i hold the match record for. I also sit on Angling club and association committes. So, perhaps distinguished enough eh!
I dont "whinge or moan", to use your phrase, i in fact act, in attempting to improve our lot, fragmented as it is.
