Thompsons on Tour

Oxford, UK

Monday 1 September 2008

You thought fishing was a safe and solitary hobby. Days spent on the riverside, rod in hand, umbrella strategically placed, long net thingy to store the hundreds of fish you've caught (or not)….Well think again. It's clearly a very dangerous occupation when you need to hide in the bushes in a khaki green tent, dressed in military style combat clothing, including hat and boots with all your equipment hidden from view of the fish. Of course, they must be the dreaded Attack Carp, little known among these parts, with teeth as sharp as razors and glowing red eyes. Yes indeed, many a lone fisherman has fallen prey to their bite as they are pulled slowly into the water, twisting and turning towards their watery end. Or are they just hiding from their wives? I'll let you decide.
