Is this the lake by the cemetery? If so I seem to remember it has some decent carp in it ten years ago, and it was run by a rule oriented club. My mate was asked to leave because some of the carp he hooked went into the reeds near a club members bait, he didn't lose any fish though. Probably a case of sour grapes. Hope it is more angler friendly now. Mark

There was a twenty out to a pole angler last weekend as well as quite a few doubles, don't know which lake though. The lake is the one behind the lake in front of the tackle shop if that makes any sense to you. I was talking to a young lad who fished a match on there last weekend today and he said there were quite a few fish out over the weekend. Enjoy you trip. Mark

But what's the fishing like? Mark

In India (where most call centres will soon be located) workers are paid a third of what they would be paid over here, not in rice but in currency. This is because the cost of living is a lot cheaper over there. Not because they work harder or are have a stronger work ethic etc, etc. If anyone was willing to work for £1.50 an hour in this country they would always have a job, at the end of the day it's about businessess making a profit, the more profit the better. I worked for the best part of a year selling crafts from the far east and through contacts I found out that one of the best carvers sells pieces that take him two years to complete for less than £5000. How many craftsmen in this country could afford to work for £2500 a year? or would be willing to do so? Mark
