Earth!
I was told a story today by one of the angling lads at work.
He told me that one of the tackle shops he uses gets quite a few requests by anglers asking if they can have a fake till receipt so they fool their partners into thinking they have spent (a lot) less than they have!
So come on you guys, how many of you lot have fibbed to your other halves about the price of your new tackle?
I have never had to fib to our lass because she has never asked me in the first place, but I don't think she realises just how much some of my gear did actually cost...She would bloody kill me if she knew :eek:mg:

Mrs S has absolutely no grasp of the cost of tackle,bait,permits etc. or how much I spend on it so I have no need to tell any whoppers. I do feel a bit guilty sometimes because I am married to a completely atypical woman who spends virtually nothing on herself and owns only 4 pairs of shoes [including 2 pairs of boots].She is sort of resigned to the fact that this is what I do though I,too, would get slaughtered if she ever found out the true cost.
