    Global Warming

    Interesting you bring up the increased tax on vehicles that emit more C02. It is for precisely that reason that Low tax free market economists are the the principal group of climate change deniers. To control carbon emissions the common mechanism Goverments use is to to tax and regulate...

    Global Warming

    Graham. What you are experiencing is 'weather', on the other side 'climate' is much longer term trends that require the analysis of vast amounts of data. Personally I'd rather take the view of those with the ability to understand, model and make reasoned conclusions from that data. Are...

    John Bakers Milky, works, and personally i find the smell very appealing. Given the variety of answers in this thread it would seem our fishy friends have a well developed palate, clearly not a fussy eater, doubt if they are swayed by the marketing, unlike the bankside dwellers, myself...

    monster barbel mystery river

    Just walked the Barcombe stretch of the Sussex Ouse and their not abstracting 75% of the flow at present, I spend much of my summer river carping in this area and things are much as usual. As too the drift that the monster Barbel is from down here, well, i'd hate to say your barking up the...

    Humminbird

    Same experience as everyone else, got through 3 of them in double quick time, a mate who likes to take this sort of stuff apart had a look inside the last one, battery fine, sensor needed reattaching.

    head torch

    My Petzl gives out 50 lumens, has a red light and is bright enough for anything i do. Having looked at the Cree lamps (500 lumen) i'm impressed, can't help think it'll frighten the life out anything in the vicinity on a dark night, fish especially if its pointed anywhere near the water...
