Do you think its ok to type out such language, even if you are quoting another article
Get your point, but its not right to repeat
 
There are some pretty 'nasty' posts that should never be allowed on various other social media and newspaper sites. I wonder if they are really moderated properly.
 
Many many years back my Dad told me he used to know someone on Jack Hargreaves film crew and he told him that some of the fishing "catches" were rigged. As a kid who was a keen angler at the time that somewhat deflated me as I used to watch his programme regularly. No idea if its true or not, like to think not.

Jack Hargreaves was the product of a PR company. Not to take anything away from the programmes but they were carefully constructed by a team of researchers fronted up by gentle Jack. I must admit they were my go to piece of tv when I was young and they certainly helped reinforce my love of the beautiful countryside around where I lived in West Howe, Canford Heath, Longham before the tip was built.

Its hard to think of what it was like near Longham Bridge before the Millhams tip was built. It was a great piece of country between Longham and Kinson. Back then you could drive all the way along Millhams Lane from the Stour, over the bridge crossing the stream and past the old church and come out by Pelhams park. Spent most of my childhood round there. The old "smugglers" tunnel by the church was legendary amongst us kids, you could crawl a long way down it until it got blocked off by the council.
Often fished the Stour anywhere from Longham to Dudsbury.
