(why are the recent new members all giving themselves numerical suffixes?)
I'm sure you 'll enjoy the forum...if you use the search facility there is tons of stuff on barbel...much of it is useful.
Glad to see another soul from Stockport joining..there are a few of us on here...and soon one of us will find how we get out of the blooming place!!!
One thing to bear in mind...many of the regular posters are completely bonkers...good anglers but nuts, mad, away with the fairies, fans of Yvette Fielding, friends of the sock, etc etc
