good result in the cricket yesterday, came ist out of two :thumbs:

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..

Its not about the winning, its the taking part that counts. Look at Iraq and Afganistan.

 

Oh and the event that starts in 3 weeks time, hosted in the Uk, we will come about 5th, but hey

we are only a small island after all.

We'll be tops, beer 7 quid a pint, plus, coke at 2.10 per 500ml's basic fish and chips 8 quid. one tart 2 quid, (and no not the female kind)

 

200 quid fine if you go in the olympic lane from 6am till midnight. Yup, somone's gonna do very well. thats because all the new hotels in east london are not good enough for them.

 

300 bmw's purchaced brand new for the olympic lane's @ 30000 each, couldn't use new london taxies for example and paid the blokes. Some one has told me the drivers are on 3k per week.

oh yes i forgot about riding bikes but is that a real sport or a form of transport?

 

maybe can also win gold for rowing boat, driving car, riding motorbike, riding horse, taking the bus, train, tube

 

is walking also a sport?

 

i guess i can eat my hat when the results come out with lots of medals in athletics and other non forms of transport events

We are a small nation.

 

There is massive underinvestment in sport and training facilities in this country so our pool of available talent is limited further to toffs with public school facilities as teenagers or inner city kids with access to a local "harriers" club.

 

We have for years thought of sports like cricket and rugby (amongst others) as either a gentleman's hobby or something that you do as an excuse for drinking - although admittedly, attitudes have changed.

 

We then turn to the EPL which demonstrates another problem. Importing foreign talent to play in our domestic game without bringing on youngsters who will represent the country on the international scene.

 

etc, etc, etc.

 

Edit: I take a phone call whilst posting and discover that I've been beaten to half my points so we'll add the non competitive culture in schools, the selling off of school playing fields and the widespread closure of swimming pools or their replacement with "Leisure pools".
