While looking around an antiques shop in south London yesterday I found a mounted head of an enormous pike. [What really happened: I was going to have a few beers in the park with some friends and I saw the pike head through the window on the way past, looking round an antiques shop!?!]
The plaque claimed it was the head of a 37lb 10oz pike caught from the River Wye in 1936. If these details are true it beats the official* Wye record of 37lb caught in May 1910 by Major W. H. Booth at Hay-on-Wye.
I didn't have my camera on me but it I go back past I'll see if they will let me take a photo. And it can be yours for £225, bargain!
* We all know there are forties in there.

Evenin all,
and what jollier evenings they are as with each passing day the day light
lengthens and we tick off the days. February can now nearly do one...
