Not sure how Alan ever managed to pull that one off  |
maybe mr parnell took that figure as a ten year total.

i once saw four newby anglers pull up in the car park one especially raw spring day. obviosly poorly equiped in every way especially clothing and confronted by a rolling and sullen looking ladybower with snow on the tops.
one of em asked through chattering teeth if he (alen) could tell them where the fish were likely to be "its a lot bigger than what we thought".
"there all in theer" came the reply.
