It must be true or it would not be printed. We are assured that all contents are not exaggerated and every quote comes from a person that is beyond reproach. Aliases are often used to protect the innocent.
At a recent away match at Packington, close to Birmingham International Airport, Leicester’s Professional Angler, who cannot be named for legal reasons but was mentioned recently regarding drug testing at events, almost caused a major disaster.
A colleague, who again cannot be mentioned but owns a tackle shop in Oadby, reports that Leicester’s Professional Angler almost crashed a Boeing 747 that was taking off from Birmingham Airport. Apparently Mr P5ORTER was hurling his feeder all over the lake, failing to get near the same spot twice. When questioned about the inaccurate casting his excuse, which is a new one, was that it was caused by the turbulence created by the aircraft in the vicinity. It turned out that there must be some truth in this as a feeder hit a 747 flying overhead. Only skilful action by the pilot prevented a major disaster.
On the same day Mallory member Rob Clayton had a great outing at our match by coming fifth. Dagga nominated him as Britain's most improved angler, as he could not get any worse after many very poor performances. In the same event it was noted that Honest Jim phoned home to cancel the champagne that was on ice. Mr Ward was nasty and said that winter had better come quickly or the champagne would go off before it was opened. Now that was nasty.
