Oh fighting talk is it! ::damnit::

I should imagine @Stephen is to much of a gentlemen to lower himself such activities. Thank you for your kind thoughts. :]

I'm not going to worry too much about @Gingerlove05 being a Welshmen I doubt very much he can find his way out the sheep pen, let alone deepest Kent. :grin:

...and as for @Andys temperate tank being from the North East, I would be amazed he find his way this far South and anyway I've got the M25 to protect me to sling shot him back north! :tongue:

Anyway, back to the plot. Just picked up a bottle of NT Labs Filter Starter, never used this product, see how it goes. Dechlorinator, just looking the differences between what we use and the pond version and I cannot see any difference other than pond is more concentrated. Seems a lot use users on 'Monster Fish Keepers' forum use the stuff.

All this talk of violence; has the pandemic really affected people that much ?
As for having a go at @Gingerlove05 for being Welsh, my blood-line is also Welsh although I was born over the border here in Herefordshire.
Would I give Martin a slap? Probably not but I may be tempted (depending on how much money is on offer) just to keep @Andys temperate tank and @Gingerlove05 happy. :D
:P

You seem to be blending in well with the locals with the suggestion of powder puffs.
Water pistols would be fun though, I like that idea. ::thumbu::
