Don' feel 81, I feel like an 18 year old, but the wife won't let me have one. I think I might need jumper leads though.

lol, the Echo were terrible back in the day. I remember when I became only the second person (after John Ambler) to win three Seaham club competitions in a row (I came second in the fourth ), the Echo fishing column recorded the achievement by Stan Graham...

Used to see a lot of Lawrie Hall and Jim Brown many many years ago. Wonder if they're still fishing.
