Thanks Jonboy, I love it. My other half is one of the owners of the shop and I am the livestock buyer. 8) It is always nice to get good feedback, so thank you.

This has been done before now several times with many LOL members meeting at the shop on the same day (often with a pub lunch) and we always have a lot of fun. :D We are hoping to organise another big meet up sometime in the new year.

i live in norfolk, so giving you northerners a lift would be hard, but if you need a lift from a station on a loach meet day, i can do that. it would good to meet more people from on here :D

we spend too much time talking and behaving like kids in a sweet shop to fight over fish

would you two londoners mind if i joined you on your fishy shopping trip? i was thinking of going to the shop soon, and a sunday is about the only time i will be able to get there.

rasboras are calling to me


Jonboy, you may or may not be able to sneak in undetected. we have loachkeeper radar, and most of the time it works very well. we will detect you! if you nab all the goodies, you will be needing a lorry to get them home
