No sour grapes here Vole - just deep, deep envy :Hahaha:

You must be floating on a wave of disbelief and excitement you lucky so and so. Go enjoy your rod, treasure it and ignore the scum that inhabits facelessbook.

Can the Mole be a little envious of your relationship with Dame Fortuna Mr Vole, but with no sour grapes or animosity :Hat:

What a corker of a rod although Fatty being hamfisted would be a very cautious user of such, having never owned an individual item of tackle worth more than £200; with most virtually valueless, if truth be told.

Really we all need a report from your goodself about how the rod fishes etc :Wink:

And finally what a truly splendid gesture by Bumble for a good cause.

As ever,.....

No sour grapes here, Vole. Actually im pleased you won it because as you say you don't have vast collections of expensive tackle already. And im sure you will treasure it. You paid your money and took a chance, just like the rest of us. But you were the lucky one on the day. Simple as that. Ignore everyone else and enjoy!

Congrats Vole , hope you really enjoy using the rod.
No sour grapes here, cant imagine why anyone would expect that they specifically should have won it.

Its a little sad if some people have tainted this fabulous prize winning experience for you. I like many other bought a ticket knowing it would be down to pure chance and good fortune was surely on your side that day.
Congratulations to you and to the previous owner for his wonderful gesture .

Well done Vole, as has been said already, I'm pleased that it has been kept in the TFF family.
Enjoy the rod and don't give a second thought to those sad sods

Best wishes

John
