Ah the 'otties. Guppies in the margins and cichlids if you fished worm. Walking from town to Carr Mill at silly o'clock in the morning to fish for bream. Those were the days! :Thumb:

Worn in conjunction with wooly jumper and corduroy trousers?
Probably best with NCB on the back - very 70s

Not quite nostalgia for me they had ended long before I got to go fishing
I know les brom though and live almost on the banks of the sankey It's not too bad to fish these days if you like pike, perch and cannibal bream

Ncb no it's an everyday one just pure wool with a tartan lining may have been a united glass issue although I'm sure I remember my dad buying it and me one when I was 10 or so for fishing
