When off the boat for a walk, the WWW's whippet used to race ahead to fishermen and all their spread of paraphernalia. Here would be waiting a nice starter of maggots and old bread, followed by a takeaway of sandwiches! It would end up a long walk for the WWW + whippet...as I pretended they were nothing to do with me. Beacause the fishermen were unaware that WWW was a boater, they were normally apologetic! :-) -- Neil Arlidge - NB Erne-Nest - The Wilderness years...
