What planet does this women live on

[Steve Walker]

Someone decides to make a comment about canal anglers, and many others assume that's what it's about, and go on to decry a section of angling, that's different to theirs.

 

Sad, isn't it? Anglers are their own worst enemies. I think a little understanding of the historical cultural and social background of match angling would go a long way.

there are 2 types of canal anglers

 

1. the ones who have no idea how to fish, liter, destroy the area with vandalism, shout abuse and just dont give a damn

 

2. me. considerate of other anglers space and swim, considerate of pedestrians, clylists, picknickers.

 

no self respecting angler would wear high vis jackets unless out at sea, liter, be inconsiderate of others

 

 

its the same outside of angling you get civilians who act exactly the same way and bring down everyone else around them by standing out more which is why when eople think of anything its always the worst

That's a bit presumptuous isn't it Andy?

 

Just you that's OK, and the rest of us are vandals, and abusive numpties.

 

You're the only one to mention 'Hi Viz' jackets. But seeing as it happened on the Mersey Estuary, a 'Hi Viz' jacket might not be a bad idea anyway.

Up till now Ive not bothered comenting as I cant remember the details of the origonal post or get the link to work! Both strange and sad how some seem to have made up their own version!

 

I presume that the origonal article the lady was complaining about litter from anglers,that seems pretty obvious but its our members who seem to have added the rest!

 

Biggest problem I see with the litter issue is that it doesnt matter (to general public etc) about the thousands of anglers who take their rubbish (and often any they find as well) home because its simply not seen! all it takes is the one or two who do leave it as this is the evidence and therefore correctly blamed on "anglers" aint hard is it?
