Default GENTLEMEN!

At one time, the term "Angler", was practically synonymous with the term,
"Gentleman". Difficult to say when this started to change. However this may
be, nowadays one can certainly not simply assume it to be so.

I'm from the other side of the tracks, where the word, "angler" was
more frequently associated with the word, "poacher." ;-)

But the same sense of honour, if that's the right word, and a climate
of helpfulness prevailed.
