I have heard on the leafy grapevine that the Southerners who run anything of importance in Angling as well as everything else believe that all Northerners together with the terrible Cormorants should be shot, Lord Paul.

As Lord Alfred Tennyson wrote in his poem The Charge of The Light Brigade:

Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die

wonder why FM didn't include that in the item

If you venture too near to Wigan then you get sucked into its gravitational pull. I went near there once and became totally lost within the NWs equivalent to the Bermuda triangle. I was 'missing' for hours. In the end I was lucky - I ignored the signs that keep you trapped and an managed to break free and get home. I never went near there again I can tell you.

Never been Corky - and now I never will

No Paul we don't need them, meetings or ATr to tell us how to deal with cormorants or gooseanders. Or for that matter river habitat management work. Up here we've been quietly getting on with both legally, whilst they've been running about like headless chickens.

Best if they keep well away coz it's sure to be one big ****** if they get involved

Don't know why they wouldn't have mentioned the Wigan meeting but I got the following Email this morning:

I hope that's not 'completely' true about about Wigan Mr Corky - I'm thinking about joining W&DAA - seems good value at £30 :w ...

Because it is not in the press release we received from the Angling Trust - releases possibly sent out regionally.

So the AT need to put out better press releases

"You need not live in Sheffield."

Well, that's a relief.

"Sugg's will post you bottoms."

Hmm....
