Don't think anyone will be bothered if 1 person boycotts unless it is explained in a letter or e-mail. leave a link in for this thread hopefully with many unaproving replies

That's shocking. What a bunch of numpties :evil:

Some pictures of their "catch and release" system and littering would have been ideal if the camera was to hand.

May be worth sending an email to their illustrious editor about their failure to set an example - wonder if that would make it to their letters page next month :?: :!:

As for their magazine, I haven't picked up a copy for a few years. Can't say I'd ever be inclined to again though, given what you witnessed.

Regards.
