I just love those signs. They are so redolent of the 1970's. Frame them up and display, everybody's happy.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

Re: EDKO ... Romford Tackle Shop
Lovely things to find Lee. Great reminders of days past!
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Would you like this to go with your collection?
There are three things that improve with age: wine, friendship and water sense, and there's no short cut.

Re: EDKO ... Romford Tackle Shop
With regard to the Ongar and district club book, I am still a member of ODAS... The club secretary and treasurer named on the picture, T Jenkins is the father of our current treasurer Michael, Bert Cottee named on the picture as outing secretary donated a shield for the best weight on the first club outing of the season, which I won last year and sits on the table in my man cave... Known as The Bert Cottee Shield...
Just one more cast love, and I'll be on me way home
