"I dont believe it!"

[Dick Dastardly]

Whilst being off ill I have been catching up on my reading.In the letters section of Anglers Mail (October 9 2004)I read the following letter from Mr Peter Collins.who Im sure you must have by now all heard of-

 

Predator killers latest

THANKS for the reel (Star Letter,August 28).Most unexpected.I did wonder wether or not I should re-offer it to you...as a prize for the angler who kills the biggest Zander in the current season.

Peter Collins,Folksworth,Cambs

 

What can I say?

 

NB No critisism of the Mail intended here as I feel they have handled/covered this issue well.

I believe that the Mail didn't print his letter in full!!

Thats right Leon,the thought of what the rest of his letter may of contained makes the mind bogle!More detailed instructions on how to kill pike maybe? then again there are enough of those printed in most of the mags under the guise of instructional and technical articles....... :mad:

Only goes to show the old duffer should have had a punishment after all, I will refrain from using foul language!

[Stewart_Bloor]

Somebody had quick text message published in the AM today saying that maybe Peter Collins would like to be attached to a pole all night and whacked on the head in the morning.

[Dick Dastardly]

Then sold to a restraunt maybe?

sorry all

 

but the man (the idiot) is just giving the antis more ammo agenst angling (the old so and so)

It is a shame that he wasn't prosecuted. If he had been, it would have been illegal for the Mail to have awarded him a prize for his letter, as he would have been seen to have profited from his criminal act.

Unfortunately, it appears PC is basking in his own notoriety. Maybe it would be a good idea to avoid the subject in future, hence starving him of the oxygen of publicity?

[Dick Dastardly]

Thats about it Fenboy.I had put the whole sad incident behind us untill I read this in the Mail.

Perhaps it should have been offered as a prize for nabbing Peter Collins. Dennis Moules should have had it!
