YULE LOVE THESE XMAS GIFT IDEAS

THERE is a shopping season of some sort going on just now, I've heard Xmas music here and there so hopefully you've been picking up on the hints from your significant other and dropping a few of your own.

We were chatting in the office the other day about grabbing a catalogue and leaving it for our folks to see circles round Atari/SNES/Playstation games which accurately aged the generations in the room.

There's always a fishing book, a mug or some novelty socks cutting about and while I'm sure a lot of you aren't overly concerned you can nudge the gift toward your favourite species or method.

I got some 90s Stillwater Trout Angler Magazines, again to accurately age myself, in a bundle as a Secret Santa Gift the other year.

I spent a fair bit of time reading about Dever Springs record beaters or the Hanningfield Reservoir controversy with pellet flies around the cages.
