open season times

can anyone put me straight on this?

 

does the season start on the 14th midnight or the 15th midnight? :confused:

the season starts on the 16th, at 12.01, or to put it another way, 1 minute after midnight on the night of the 15th

Bugger, I'm a law breaker, I thought it was on the twelfe chime of Big Ben, not 60 seconds after! Take me away constable!!

The easiest way to think of it, is that you can't fish on the 15th of either March or June.

 

Simple, innit?

after i posted it i wondered if i had got it right, still the important thing is, it's the 16th, not the

15th. the licence makes it clear enough i thought

jeepster, I think what you meant was 0001 hours on 16 June, but ajay sums it up simply I think.

Bugger, I'm a law breaker, I thought it was on the twelfth chime of Big Ben, not 60 seconds after! Take me away constable!!

Now I can just picture the scene glass of white wine in one hand, rod in the other, with an ear cocked to the ghetto blaster to hear the chimes of Big Ben, or can you hear the real thing from there. Times are changing or what?

In Yorkshire many moons ago, our season started on June 1st. and ended on what I, and a mate erroniously believed to be the last day of February. We thought it very strange when we saw the match secretary outside his house washing his car 'on the last day'. We'd been fishing a couple of hours whan a police constable approached us as queried had we got a licence. Yes we said. Then clearly you've not read them he said. The seaon ended on 27th. February NOT the 28th. as we thought.

Those smart arse remarks stay with me to this day, but now we Yorkshire folk are all bundled together with the rest of the country so I don't have to watch out for that one any more.

just one thing peter, 12.01 isn't 60 seconds after the 12th chime of big ben, each chime takes a second, so its 48 seconds after the 12th chime
