comanche 3,076 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) Worked like stink this morning because we'd arranged a sea-fishing trip in the afternoon.Driving to the coast could,nt help notice the trees swaying.Sure enough by the time we'd grouped on the quayside a very ill-wind was blowing.Skipper said it was'nt dangerous but it would be unpleasant and hard to fish.Wind against tide n all that nautical stuff. Fishing cancelled we masochisticly trolled to the nearest tackle shop to stroke the shiny things..."What the Hell is this doing on a ferret site?",you may ask. While the others fondled the silky contours of the rods in what to me appeared a slightly unhealthy manner I found myself crouched before a dusty cabinet .I scanned the faded boxes of unsold and outmoded items of tackle,a split box of Marksman air-pellets and the brand new,boxed, Mk1 Ferret-Finder ,it's pale sticker faintly proclaiming a price of £42 .......It gets better. ."Had that ages",said the shop-keeper ,"Used to do all field-sports stuff but went totally over to fishing tackle years ago.....You can have it half price". Its an ill wind that does'nt blow someone somewhere some good. Edited June 4, 2008 by comanche Quote Link to post
comanche 3,076 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 you jammy sod lol just a bit.I mean even if it had been an empty display pack i was going to offer him a quid just as a collectors thing.Even he could'nt remember it there was anything in the box he had'nt handled it for so long.I wonder if Deben will honour the warranty if it goes wrong.
