Do you think you have a right to that information he has so carefully gleaned over the years for nothing? If you don't want to do that then risk the chance of getting thrown off or pay £150 a day on some other stretch.

That Sunday lunch sounds good! We'll have to see if we can compare before long. Now then young man, what's this about stillwater Barbel? Do you have any particular "stance" on such things? What's new? Cheers R Certainly looks like you had a great trip mate. That Sunday lunch sounds good! We’ll have to see if we can compare before long.

Now if I'd have written that article I would have said that you'd travelled hundreds of miles at your own expense, flogged yourself to death in scorching hot weather for a couple of days, arranging things then making sure my beginners all caught a fish. Ok, when you went home, money changed hands but it wasn't me trying to cover your expenses - it was a very generous donation from you for the Alzheimer's charity. Martin, you are a great bloke. Incidentally, the fishing match etc made around £3300 (we are still getting the money in) which takes Anne's total to around £7000 - so now she's going for £10000. All thanks to people like Martin Porter. Thanks, Martin.
