Look out!

[Kayak-Bloke]

They have 'post it' notes and are not afraid to use 'em...


Parked my car by a river today; came back to find this on my window.

For those who can't read the scrawl it says " You have been reported to the police and the angling club for illegal canoeing on private water".

So far I have manged to evade capture but it's only a matter of time now.

I'm heading for the border and going on the lamb...

or alternatively I may just carry on as normal.


Hmmmm does anyone know a good brief..? :-)

[Mark R]

I'm more interested in trying to make out the imprinted words which are visible behind that mindnumbingly terrifying threat.

Any suggestions?

[jamesl2play]

The last word looks like Trespass

I think the bottom line is

Commence to ??pass

[MikeB]

Perhaps KB could do the old "running a pencil lightly across the paper" trick to see if the scrawl comes though? Unless of course he filed it appropriately or recycled it? A bit "hard and shiny" for recycling perhaps - -

Happy days - illegal canoeing - what will they think of next?

Mike

[shanclan]

Which river?

[jmmoxon]

Last bit looks more like "Committee to trespass" so I think it's just a different wording of the same message.

I think Parksey will be able to answer this if he's on later. He also parked next to this river and got a note. His suggested he had been reported not only to the police but to the angling club committee for trespass.

I'm worried he will get an action at the next committee meeting and not know about it. That's just unfair....

PS. for those that asked: It was the river Ogmore.

[parksey]

Well here it is the note below.

Not the Police Oh My God it gets worse the Comittee

[MikeB]

Have they managed to pass some sort of Trespass Act do you think?

Do let us know how it goes when you are summoned before the Committee.

You'd think they'd have some proper notes printed up - ideally with details of the Committee on them - so much more professional than scrawling a note on a bit of paper.

Were you canoeing - or kayaking? I presume the latter, so you'll be fine.

Mike.

[Ruari]

They reported you to the police for what? surely if they put that on your windscreen you wern't there so they had no evidence you were actualy paddling, so in essence they are going to look like fools for reporting a car for having roof bars and being parked next to a river, i wonder what the policeman they spoke to said about it?

"Angling Ass" does seem appropriate.

[jamesl2play]

Only in Wales? makes me embarrassed to live amongst them.

[harrywatson]

This made me laugh.

Cheers boys for a top notch morning - I am no longer a river virgin! Nor am I now an angling ars*hole virgin, (I know that sounds a bit wrong but hey ho). I've just read an article in the latest, 'Canoe and Kayak' magazine and it seems as if they feel the same about cyclists, dog walkers, walkers in general and people with push chairs so I don't think we should take this too personally; however its only a short step from the river bank and cycle path to world domination! Oh, I forgot, only in this country! See Rhys - I was listening!

[George Mcmillan]

It's probably a shopping list that his poor wife made him go for.

[mole]

But just look at how hard the author of those notes was pressing, smacks of barely controlled fury.

Teehee

Any handwriting expert will tell you that those three underlines mean he needs to get to an anger management course as quickly as possible.

No - those squiggles are actually a signal to fellow freemasons.

And Mark if you look real close....

Must of been. Looks like the guy didn't have a free hand with all the bags and was holding the pen in his teeth.

Coffee all over keyboard :-)

Whenever I see anything about being reported to the committee it always reminds me of the old program "Wheeltappers and Shunters Social club" and the guy with the flat cap and the fire bell calling out "Members of the committee".
Edit: This is the guy Clickety Click

[John N]

That'd be Colin Compton if I remember correctly. If only I'd started paddling around then instead of watching the Wheeltappers and Shunters I might be a little better at it now!

[roo]

I think you are in the wrong.

There is clearly a typo - What gives you the right to paddle ogmore angling ass waters? Yeuck.

[buck197]

I wonder how long it is before FG makes an appearance and puts his tuppence worth in!!! Anglers are revolting because Kayakers are having fun well we know they are revolting!!!
