Welcome back to part deux of what must be the longest angling blog in the world. Mind you, no-one’s exactly complaining, are they? Well, that’s not exactly true. There is the occasional knob head who’s presumably fuelled by jealousy but I rather like that. Shows I’m doing something right.

Chapter Four Life Through A Lens Oh My Gurd The video cassette had a little boom back in the early nineties, not that they ever sold a lot in their original format.
