Quote from: Mups on Today at 10:28:44 AMAre you still allowed to go fishing?

Yes.

There is a close season for course fish in rivers from mid March to mid June as that is the breeding season.

Bright sun is bad news for course fishing and you can't ethically fish for predators with the water this hot as catching them really messes them up because of the low oxygen content.

The sunlight also makes the weed go bonkers. Result of that is I haven't had a full day fishing this season yet just a short session on the river in my son's new dinghy. We think the heat and sun killed the old one off as all 4 chambers had deflated and it wouldn't hold air.

Bravo 

I am surprised there are not more fires raging..
 Considering the 'nutters' we have walking around..

There was a young man from Rye

Sitting on the sofa...a nice cup of tea and a fan blowing...

Brave man...

Some idiot on an estate near me, had a fire in his garden, left it smouldering, it set fire to his house and four others!

Brilliant Alex, I hope it doesn't make him a target for the Pro Pal mob. 

A really good song.

Thanks for that Ashy, I hadn't seen the Cloughie clip, what a character he was.
RIP Bill Oddie.
