That is really sad and it should be reported to the police, a gang of bullies threatening visitors.

Don't be a wuss

 

Fancy letting half a dozen spotty herberts looking at you put you off

 

Those slogans have been there years and no ones ever bothered to remove them, as for trouble fro visiting anglers, never heard of any for years. Car tyres hace been slashed in the past but that was over 20 years ago and I suppose those responsible for that would have grown up and matured by now but tyre slashing is not a new thing just a random act of idiocy that can happen to anyone at any time but something I stress does not happen now

 

Locals are friendlier than you think
