  1. Not bad at all. Out of interest I've weighed mine roughly on kitchen scales:

     

    Allcocks Match Aerial - 280g

    Free Spirit Match Aerial - 325g (Didn't realise I'd got two of these - bit of a suprise!)

    Youngs Rapidex 2 (narrow) - 260g

    Arnold Kingpin - 325g

    Youngs B.J. Lightweight - 225g

  2. Laphroaig for me......Actually I'm a 'Friend of Laphroaig' and so have my own square foot of Islay that I can view on t'internet whenever I feel the need :thumbs:

     

    My fishing buddy's swear by Lagavulin but that's too much for my palate. Iodine and all that!

  3. I work for a company sponsoring the programme and many of our staff have questioned whether the company should be associated with it, but, as our top man says, the very fact that we're talking about it proves that it's good advertising and the programme is doing what it should from a commercial point of view.

     

    Amazing how many people 'come across it' and watch it though.

     

    I haven't seen any of it at all I hasten to add mind, not that I'm one of the 'I'm too intelligent to watch stuff like that' brigade. I just thought the last one was crap from the little I did watch of it.

  4. In all honesty I've just about given up on digital scales. I'm on my 2nd set of Rapala's and one pair of Salter's. I'm dubious about the accuracy of all of them once a set of batteries have been in for more than one trip. I'm back to my trusty old Avon's.

  5. [Personally I am growing increasingly wary of local tackle shops, they tend to want to sell what they have in stock rather than what I want./quote]

     

    I couldn't agree with you more on that one Peter.

  6. That may be the law in Britain.....they weren't.

     

    As much as I feel desperately sorry for them, leaving our kids unattended to have a meal just would not come into our consideration. We actually had our main holiday on the Algarve last year and to say the restaurants were child friendly would do them an injustice. We had absolutely no problems other than language ones off the beaten track.

  7. We are all the same species Homo sapiens sapiens, no matter where we were born or what colour we are.

     

    Whilst not wanting to fuel the racist slant of the thread, I've long wondered why this is still the case. Human beings suffer and are susceptible to different medical conditions dependant on their genetic heritage I'm told. That means we are not all scientifically the same doesn't it?
