Ok well it looks like the rumours are correct. Thanks for the replies all. If somebody has more to add please do so. Thanks Aled

Hello All Right then: 14 years ago I bought my wife a pair of Hunter Wellies as a Christmas present (her choice) they have been well used, but the heel is staring to wear away, and there is small leak. Still 14 years of regular use is good going. So I'm looking to buy her a new pair....and hear lies the problem. Rumour has it that the more recent Hunter Wellies do not last as well since the factory has moved to China. Does anybody out there know if there is any truth in this? Or is it...a Chinese Whisper...(OK a bad joke but...) Thanks in Advance Aled

LOL if I'm honest....so will I!

And I'll be right behind you when you shout that out in a Glasgow pub......

Sorry to hear of your loss. My condolences. Aled

LOL

Reminds me of another group of people...now who were they now...??

I think you are correct 12gauge, I'm being rather laid back about it all at the moment.

Went there on holiday back in the 90's the fishing was very good, so perhaps a fishing rod may be handy? Cheers Aled

Pretty sure Laurence Catlow is still with us, he's written in Trout and Salmon fairly recently although he did suffer a period of illness. I think a lot of good writers who wrote well across the sporting spectrum are much missed, Arthur Oglesby, Hugh Falkus, Fred J Taylor, & Moc Morgan to name but a few, all produced enjoyable writing and some good TV from time to time. Cheers Aled

I too enjoyed Town Gun and Country Gun, I also have many of the books written by JH and CW, an enjoyable fireside read sometimes. Cheers Aled

Nice one PPP, I usually do dry January, which means I've had a good detox before the 6 Nations start in February! Cheers Aled

Totally agree with you rewulf.

Yep Jaymo I get where you are coming from...

LOL Nice response. But seriously though many of you on here are stating that we should just walk away and leave the EU with no deal. Fine if it genuinely is in our best interests why hasn't a single politician (to the best of my knowledge or Has J R-Moggie said something?) or economist stated that's what we should do? Why did Davies (a staunch supporter of Brexit) waste 18months at the negotiating table? Doesn't make sense. Cheers Aled
