i know what you mean thats why i have one of each lol

Oh, and here is an old pic of mine in Volans, outside JD Sports where my kids were on the nick, then we went to McDonald's for tea before going off to fence the gear so we could do the weekly Asda shop. I beat seven bells out of the little brats at the checkout with a tube of Pringles.
I know I am on T5D5 and VOC - but somehow my natural home is on VPC and I do feel obliged to keep up appearances in my R.

In all honesty I cant remember the damn name of the place. Friends of the family have a house which they have kindly offered us for a week. Its a nice cheap get-away and a chance to get some decent fishing in too!

By all means though im up for a mini meet.
