Do you think that when you buy a rod licence it should be for a year FROM
the date you bought it instead of having to buy 1 every april, think of
those who buy 1 in december and then have to pay again only 4 months
later,
why not have it run out next december? What do you think?

I don't go very often. So in January I think I'll go fishing. I realise I
need a licence but refuse to shell out for a day licence when I might go
again in a fortnight. I realise that I'm being taken for a ride by the
powers that be. So I don't bother or go sea fishing instead. I might not
want to go again until the autumn and it all starts again. Hence, haven't
been fishing for ages. I wonder how many other people think like me. So if
the licence was bought on the day I went and lasted a year from that point I
wouldn't feel so ripped off, I would have a real choice; day, week or year.
What a rip off.
