With these dark nights and awful weather I thought it was time to have a smile. Any clean(ish) funny stories or happenings would be welcome. Below is my first contribution.
As some of you may be aware I am a mathematicsteacher. Years ago I was fishing a water that had both a syndicate and day ticket anglers. As it happened one of the pupils I taught and I were syndicate members. Now this lad was a really good kid, but not overly academic. Just to paint the picture he came round one morning really excited that he had caught a greencarp. Wow I thought, is this a carp from Mars? Or a new species? Or had he been on something?
