Great size to those flats lads, well done. As regards the warning lights on the car you should take a tip from my other half, when the lights come on she sticks plasters over them so that they don't distract her when she's driving!!!! Safety first.

thanks lads, they were smashers
 
 
 £50 out of lidle 4 years ago and it's still going strong 
 
 
  
  
  
 
  
  
 tell me about it roger 
 . i thought he was doing a john wilson and milking it when he was reeling it in 
 . but it was only when it broke through the surf that i spotted it was a decent fish 
 i was made up for him, and he did'nt even need to break out into the fish dance this time 
  
  
 
 
  
 . but this time he was finally bang on the money with it. you should have seen his face,,, priceless 
 
  
  
  
  what can i say,,, if you had brought us somewhere less productive the pan would have been out earlier,,, but that was the first chance i had to do anything since we arrived. that place was just full of fish 
  
  
 but never fear don, if you get out with us on wednesday there's 2 pork chop sambos with your name on em 
  
  
 
 
  
  
  unintentional thow. i'll make it up to him on our next trip 
  
 
 
  
  those vauxhalls go through sensors like jordan goes through sausage sandwiches 
  
  
 . and the joke of it is that it's never the actual part that breaks, just the bloody sensors 
  
 . but like you say,,,, better safe than sorry 
 
 
  
 
  
  
 add in bait and tackle and you'd likely sink into a deep depression 
  
  
 . but it's all worth it on days like that and i could'nt put a price on the memories jordan will grow up with
