Oh, it was, the key question is whether it was a fashionable brand of
sweetcorn )

Yes it was ....... but then all sweetcorn was (and still is) fashionable
...... isn't it?

Only if it has a stylised logo of a carp on the side of the sweetcorn
system
all-weather, ruggedised valise.

Imo ....... you must have some strange old carp anglers in your neck of the
woods .... none like that in my part of the country.

Derek & I are just having a little joke about the (many) anglers who are
taken in by the fashion and marketing in carp fishing. It happens in all
branches of fishing, the must-have accessory, the secret 'killer' bait,
and so on, but carp angling seems to be particularly afflicted. I wonder
sometimes whether the intention is to impress the fish or the angler's
peers. There seems to be a lack of imagination; the bolt rig, the hair
rig, boiled baits, all were invented to solve specific problems, yet
many anglers seem to think that the be-all and end-all of carp fishing
is sitting behind three bite-alarmed rods fishing hair-rigged boilies on
bolt rigs.

Not my place to judge, mind, I'd rather fish for tench any day.
