I reckon I can use it for overnighters when I'm Barbel fishing instead of taking a bedchair. First impressions are that I'll need two pillows though, one as a lumbar support as there's a little ‘step' between the base and the back when it's fully reclined flat.

The most comfortable chair I've used in 40 years, even the fixed position chair is superb.

Got the standard one

Day shelters/brollys that are made with a footprint big enough for a bedchair. Why?
Why cant a company release a decent day shelter that has a smaller footprint for say a chair and your bag? Like the beach buddies sea anglers use.

Many years ago there was a guy on a lake I used to fish who used a camping toilet tent for day sessions. It looked a bit strange but did the job perfectly.

Whatever happened to the Solar Tackle Bite Alarms? I remember a lot of publicity and how great they were with individual SIM cards.
Never heard about them since and have never seen one on the bank?

They were crap.
I seem to recall the person who Lockey gave the production contract to scammed him with the quality. If my memory is wrong I'm sure someone will correct me or add to it.

Tried massaging the old brain cells on these alarms (ok drank a bottle of red and relaxed
).
As I recall, Lockey had the idea for these back in the day when mobile phones were really taking off and the trend was for Nokia 6110 to have replaceable covers and the world went mad to customising them with individual custom covers. Lackey's vision was for a top class alarm, with the usual setting but with a SIM card that would latch to your phone and also have customiseable covers which the owner could change as the mood took him.
Although the design was sound, he had to outsource the production and he collaborated with an Asian Tech specialist. This was the downfall as although the plastics etc was OK, the tech side ( SIM, electronic gubbins etc) was pony. Lockey had his pants pulled down and took the loss personally, not the company , Solar.
I don't think many, if any, made it out onto the open market. AIl I've seen literally are a couple on eBay years ago, maybe production prototypes but never any normal ones. The replaceable covers still come up occasionally mainly the carbon fibre print ones.
I'm not as young as I was and this was a few years ago but I'm fairly certain I've got it correct but am happy to be corrected.

They do come up occasionally.
This example might be expensive for fannying about with though.

Wow.
Meant in the best possible way but they should be museum pieces.
I'd love to know how many sold before being pulled. Can't be many.
