SUPERTYKE Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Never seen police checking licenses in Hillsborough park,but environment seem to be doing regular checks.Yes it is all free at the moment,so it should be, after all we pay council tax + rod licence and have to put up with kids and duck feeders.. If you are going to say things like this you can expect people to 'jump in'. You might also find that most anglers like having other people enjoying the ponds etc - so don't presume that everyone is like you; and for those who DON'T like kids playing around ponds - tough sh*t. I think you'll find that the rod licence works out to around 50p per week. Why that constitutes extortion I don't really know - especially if you take into account the amount of work they do re maintenance, stocking, monitoring for aquatic diseases etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTYKE Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 :QUOTE:/ MATSALLEH: Superdike, You seem to have a problem with everything I post,where have I ever a said a rod licence was extortion? The bit about objecting to paying was about having to pay for public parks as was well documented in the wiremill dam thread. If that's what turns you on,feel free to carry on. :QUOTE: OOOOH WHAT TANGLED WEBS WE WEAVE; Eh Mattsalleh? Why you felt the need to P.M. me your infantile rant (as above), I don't really know. Anyway, I thought I'd copy it here so that my reply is understood by all. And don't flatter yourself by implying that I've got some kind of special, albeit negative, relationship with you. I debate points on S.F. And as many folk here know, I hold no grudges. Just because I might agree with your point this week doesn't mean that I'll agree with your point next week. And vice versa. 'Extortion' may not have been the exact word you used but you were saying that 'because we pay council tax it's a liberty that they should expect us to pay for fishing licences' AS WELL. You accused me of 'jumping in' - I see, - anything you don't like the sound of, or disagree with, is 'jumping in' is it? It was you who started with the insults when I was merely making some valid and pertinent points that any newcomer to angling should be made aware of. One such point being, - that all anglers should be aware that other people are perfectly entitled to walk around ponds and to let their children/dogs play there also. You made it very clear that you think otherwise, as sadly many, but by no means all, anglers think. P.S. I am a man so that calling me a 'dyke' is a little bit silly - do try to use your imagination if you feel the need to insult me - I'm sure you can do better. __________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
