 . Some cracking replies there. My comment was meant to be tongue in cheek but I’m not sure it came across that way.
I use a groundsheet in the boot of the car, does that make me any less of a “geezer”?

I can see why people are bothered by you using a groundsheet. I imagine they are much more manly than you, and nothing impresses the birds on a night out more than fishing without a ground sheet.
Why is it now considered ‘uncool’ to be comfortable?
I mean it doesn’t effect me though. I just sleep naked in the mud, don’t even use rods, I just jump in the lake with a net. None of this comfort rubbish for me. I’m a geezer

yea 50 years ago I thought like them
I never had a barrow I could do a weekend and carry everything I needed but now !!!!!!!!!!!
I want the comfort catching is not that important anymore and I never EVER fish without using a groundsheet unless Im just there for the day 
and often I take the hook link off and chuck out so I can get some undisturbed sleep

Fishing on a platform with gaps in it without a groundsheet is not a nice experience.
That’s before your car keys fall out of your pocket inside the bivvy and they slip through a gap and you hear that horrible plop sound.
AA/RAC don’t like coming out to a non address, just a grid reference in the middle of nowhere, then try and convince them to hotwire it so you can get home. Then pay a £150+ for a new coded key.
I’ll stick to using a groundsheet thanks

There’s still a groundsheet in shot, which is glamping as far as I’m concerned  .
I didn’t realise anyone even used groundsheets other than in the depths of Winter, let alone ****ing AstroTurf welcome mats .
How much time do you guys spend in the bivvy?

As you can see I’m on a platform but it’s a very wet day.
The ground behind the platform is like the Somme on a bad day. Trying to get to and from with the gear is/was a nightmare. Yep I did end up on my knees in the sh1te.
Actually a few sheets of bog roll later and sanity is restored.
@ post 32 - I see you still don’t do irony

. . .got a ye olde Chub neoprene one . . and had a Nash neoprene one prior to that . . .ways nothing even if you dont end up using it . . .useful bit of kit esp if you rarely use a groundsheet in warm weather to keep your tootsies injury/duck**** free when escaping the bag - neoprene also good if wet as it acts like a sponge rather than boots direct to groundsheet which tends to collect/bead up water ingress . . .

There is definitely a difference in the fox camolite bivvy mat and the trakker insulated bivvy mat, the fox one is much thinner and the trakker one is much more durable I have got both right now
