Well, I raised my glass to Bernard as I do every year. I hope others spared him a thought.

A great man and a great angler.
No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.

If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.
