Sorry for offending everyone so so much with my reply to Keith.

Yes it did go slightly off topic. That's not to say that politics can
not be on topic with the subject of fishing! I am amazed by how high
the license price is since I last went Fishing in the late 80's early
90'


In fact for anyone like me who regularly fishes in different parts of
the country the rod license cost is actually a lot cheaper than it
used to be. In days of yore you needed a rod license for each water
authority area. Now you just need one for the whole of England.
