I used to smoke - either a pipe or cigarettes - - - that is even more expensive now!!
That puts it into prospective!

Mmm, a bottle of wine a day... £7.00 plus on a good day!!! ...365 days in a year £2,555.. but that's including Christmas... best add on another £100 for friends!!!!
So... £2.20 a day.... Bargain 👍
The close season is an important and interesting time for the Angler who set out to catch big fish. It is a timely opportunity for him to make new tackle or renovate old. There are no end of jobs to do, apart from those horrible things called Gardens!

Friends are about £20 per day - up to £50 depending upon where and what you fish for!
But you missed the best - apart from fishing - the lunch!

The lunch!!!! I like it!!! Always the highlight!

To me the fishing sounds dead reasonable in the grand scheme of things in this day an age.
I think us anglers are well catered for in the UK, great fishing and often at a pittance!

Lets count our blessings.

Ps.... and lots of it free!
