    The welfare state should be a walking stick to help people through difficult times, not a crutch they cant do without. Interesting what people are saying about young people on building sites, yes i am a graduate, but from the age of 15 me and all of my mates found summer jobs, and most of us waited tables, pulled pints, etc, the best summer jobs were labouring on the building sites as it was 9-5 work, Monday to Friday, better wages than the restaurant and your weekends were free. If you wanted extra hours, they were sometimes available. Those summer jobs on sites were keenly contested!

    I count fishing as a type of hunting so other than my family commitments....i do a bit of gardening and grow some of my own vegetables. Used to play amateur rugby and cricket so i watch quite a bit of sport supporting our local clubs. Love reading i always have a book on the go, reading a Susan Hill novel at the moment. Visit the gym twice a week with my son and i try to run 5km or cycle 10km every week.

    Great i put a post on about something i see as a positive for fieldsports (which imho Fishing is) and it turns into a slanging match. Blo*dy great! ?We got no chance really have we. Worse than the WI and the WRU put together. Come on guys the real issue for Tackling Minds and Casting for recovery are positive how about we stick to that?

    Maybe its geographical as in my rural community where i was brought up nearly all local anglers also had another fieldsport hobby. Can't argue with what you are saying though especially after my experience of living in Cardiff where many of my work colleagues fished, but were against hunting etc. Aled

    A lot of us on here fish, hunt, and shoot, but i agree some sections of the angling community do feel they are not part of the fieldsports community.

    There may be one glint of light here all. The angling fraternity have highlighted many of the positive benefits of the sport to peoples physical and mental health therefore fishing it may be OK. Notably though we may find that its older people and possibly women coming into the sport rather than being passed down from parents/family to children. Its not perfect but it is what it is.

    Pleased that there are good numbers of rabbits around you. Wish there were lots of young rabbits around here!! Numbers very low here sadly. Miss stalking rabbits with the air rifle around the hedgerows.

    That's true of other works areas tatsblisters, when i was a child all four of the local GP's were keen anglers, keen or occasional shots and very good gardeners. All were active in the local angling club. A font of country knowledge not only of medicine!

    Doing Dry January for the 17th year on the trot this year, so at the moment i'm drinking quite a bit of Yorkshire Tea, mind i'm rather partial to Yorkshire Tea at any time of year anyway!
