Like many anglers I get angry when greedy Fishery owners expect us to pay to fish their pond and then have the audacity to insist on us using their own overpriced pellets!
I know they argue that it controls the type of pellets going into the ponds etc...but this is just a whitewash for a scam!
I have asked the Trading Standards departments in local areas on this issue regarding freedom of choice under Consumer Law.
Result, the owners are in breach of the Law!
My son, who is a Lawyer, has further researched this and agrees that under various Consumer Protection Acts, owners cannot insist upon this practice!
I know that this thorny issue is to be raised next year at a higher level, but what do YOU think about this?
