Fisherman heard remarking " Too many b......... boats on this canal".
What can I say! No boats, no canals equals no fishing!!!
What is wrong with fishermen? Not only are they generally morose and uncommunicative but some also have no idea about canals.
Today we were approaching a lock and there on the lock waiting section are a row of rods. Two young men suddenly appeared from under an umbrella to turn them sideways not aware that we needed to pull into the waiting area to drop Jenny off in order for her to access the lock. They were totally unaware that this area should not be used for fishing at any time but they got cross at us . There were words and Sid 'politely' pointed out the error of their ways.
oh yes, recognise this..... I once heard fisherman say "well that's ruined my day" when I had to hold out for an oncoming boat just by his pitch... sadly they think the waterways belong to them alone but why?
