A very divisive woman that has dropped her family and now has got him to drop his. Duty is not easy and you have to understand the requirements and traditions of being a member of our royal family, she never did.

I hope that it takes off for you guys, Dave (RIP) did all my reels and I will definitely be using your services. Cheers Ian

Hope it went well.

I heard there was some Tiger Wood found in a ditch recently, apparently its worth a lot of money even though it is damaged.

Happy Birthday Hooky, best of luck getting to use your new toys.

Cheerio Dave, so sad to see you gone, thank you for your advice and guidance on reel servicing and selection. Ian and Cerrie

Sorry I am late Martin, hope all went well and you feel more mature.

Many happy returns Brian, hard to believe I am a day older than you.

Currently enjoying the second pint of IPA whilst watching Exeter v Worcester. Amy (youngest) is making a steak and ale pie for dinner. Pub dinner and pints at home, even played a computer fishing game.

Missed it again, Happy Birthday Pete.

I enjoyed logging into the Offshore Outlaws site last night and there are some good converstaions and topics on there, just looking forward to some fishing this year.

I have a lovely 14ft Dejon but Mrs Simpson won't let me outside the harbour.

I have just registered on the site and look forward to looking through when I get some spare time, oh wait I've got loads of that.

Many Happy Returns, celebrate later this year.

Hope all went well, Happy Birthday

The stated Government position is to increase the quota share for UK vessels while recognising the “need to do that over time”. The Fisheries White Paper made clear there was “no intention to change the method for allocating existing quota”. Instead, the Government would start a dialogue on how to allocate any additional quota resulting from Brexit. Those members that sold their quotas to EU boats and those that had their boats destroyed, will have to make a decision whether to rejoin the fishing trade and there is ongoing dialogue with stakeholders. A real issue that I see and discuss with friends from Looe, is that it is incredibly hard to get young brits to start a career on the trawlers. The hopeful outcome is that the UK Government will control UK waters and have complete control of the quotas (other than the agreed quotas with neighbouring nations on shared fish stocks under international law). It may well be that the overall quotas are lowered leading to regeneration of stock over time and/or some quota are put out to tender that EU vessls can bid for. Unless you are sat in on the negotiations or have a friend who is, you can only rely on government briefings, speculate or rely on the media who are also speculating. Finally, perhaps the raft of cooking shows and celebrity chefs should have a concerted effort to get the UK to eat more fish and shellfish. Merry Christmas all.

I'm late as ever, hope you had a good day mate.

Death Trap, the Cornwall County Council has 43 Conservative councillors out of 123, as a Cornishman I can assure you that the county has been predominantly Liberal at MP and Council level for as long as I can remember going back to the 60s.

Did you make it clear what type of tackle you were talking about Charlie?

Happy Birthday Terry, stay in and enjoy yourself

Enjoy the restricted Birthday Oli

Many happy returns Alfie, enjoy the last night in the pub for a while.
