So if you'd booked a holiday or say a ticket to a concert and now can't go would you be happy to lose your money ?
I watch ice hockey and this season got cancelled with 5 out of 27 season ticket home games left unplayed, but you can claim that missing ticket money back pro rata.
Presumably the same would apply to football if the season didn't finish.
I don't see the difference just because it's fishing.

You made FOUR posts !
I asked a perfectly reasonable question which nobody answered other than with either “it's my money I will buy what I want” or we're abusive in their post as were you,so I simply responded.
That's a perfectly fair point about money it is their choice,but there may be somebody like me with a cheap ish net that does it's job absolutely fine but may want to upgrade to something better.
If there's a very good reason another net is better then I would buy one,but I haven't heard that reason yet.

I'm leaving it there now because I do not wish to offend or be accused of winding people up as that was not my wish.
I just asked a question that's all.

Makes interesting reading that post Gerry.
That's just the same sort of point i was trying to make about top end landing nets !

What's the difference between an alarm and a net ?

I hate to think mate,but I'm glad I didn't hang around to find out !

Never did fish that lake again.

I always wondered why whoever it was left my keep net on the bank and didn't nick it,I guess whoever it was wasn't an angler.

Back in the 70's,I would be about 15 at the time,I used to coarse fish a small lake near Ridgeway in Sheffield called Lower Skelper,a lovely little two acre lake right down in a secluded wooded valley where you usually saw nobody else all day.
My dad used to drop me off on his way to work and pick me up on the way home and I would fish all day on my own.
One day I had been fishing a few hours and caught a big roach of around 1.5 pounds and by far the best fish I had caught at the time. Into the keep net it went and I fished on.
Soon after I started to feel a bit uneasy and as if I was being watched,the feeling got worse and worse until I couldn't stay any longer as I was getting pretty scared.
Something or somebody was watching me,I just knew it.

I packed my gear but really wanted my dad to see the big roach,so I left my keep net in the water and quickly walked the half mile up the lane to the phone box at the top and rang my dad to ask him to come and pick me up as soon as he could.

He wasn't best pleased but an hour later he arrived wanting to know why his normally fishing mad son wanted to pack up early for the first time ever.
I told him why and we both went down the lane to the lake with him pulling my leg about being a big girls blouse.
When we got to my swim however there was no roach to be seen,the bank stick had been pulled out and my now dry keep net was laid out on the bank side !
I looked at my dad,he looked at me and neither of us knew what to say.

To this day I still don't know if my dad believed I caught that fish,he never said,but he knew wild horses wouldn't have made me pack up early without a very good reason.

They say you can feel when you are being watched.......I did that day,because whoever was watching me must have taken my net out and released that roach !!!!!!
