I remember buying what was supposed to be a fishing line - orange string wrapped around a wooden frame with a large weight. I don't recall ever catching anything with them. It wasn't through lack of trying. It was just a con trick to get you to spend your saved pocket money

My childhood holidays were spent in a caravan in the Worcestershire countryside, and they were comprised of about 90% reading and 10% hopelessly mistimed cover-drives.
