myself and the wife went the other way, when our kids got older and the oldest had a new phone and the youngest a City away shirt with Rambo on the back ( youngest was especially hard to buy for, she said " Dad, I dont need anything and im happy with a away shirt " that was that )
We decided to buy stuff we wouldnt normally buy, like the cactus jacks, I would never justify them, so the mrs got them as a gift
Good reels for casting long distances on clean sand but not really strong enough to cope with rocky , weedy ground
I don't know where you grew up fishing but sully island , Rhoose, Aberthaw, llantwit , nash point are snaggy places
If you were fishing off the knap pebbles onto sand .....Great reel
Just watching Keeley Hawes on some ITV drama nonsense
I wouldn't mind unwrapping her in front of the Xmas tree
Cod season was always Pebbles, right at the end of my time fishing, I had a mobile phone ( Nokia 3210 ) and would phone for a pizza delivery ( felt like billy big balls then )
other times exactly your lists, though thats where most from Barry / vale will fish , porthkerry aswell , Jacksons bay ( on the breakwater and Nells point ) Frairs point, Bendricks ( which was my least fav and you lost alot in them rocks )
To answer your earlier question - yes, I used to fish the south Wales coast in my early teens.
It was largely a frustrating experience of getting snagged a lot, losing tackle because no one showed me how to tie a knot properly.
I had no idea about tides, correct setups, bait etc. It was no wonder I seldom caught anything.
Nevertheless, for an urban kid like me it was just great to be next to a beach.
Trainers are just a different type of dap, but they’re still daps. Flares are still trousers, anoraks are still coats, boxers are still underpants, trainers are still daps. Daps is a Cardiff traditional word, much like mitching (used in Ireland as well), afters for pudding or dessert, cobs for hard bread buns, baps for soft bread buns (I think buns is what some other places call them), gullies for the cut through between houses etc etc. It’d be a crime to let our colloquialisms go, it’s part of the identities of different parts of the country, local dialects and sayings should be used and preserved, they’re part of who we are and where we’re from.
There are youngsters in my local who still know what daps are. If you say "New daps?" they don't bat an eyelid, just answer.
Nope, I'm not 'aving that!
In the 80s when football fashions took off, no one would ever say.. "I like your daps" to someone who happened to be wearing a pair of Diadora Borg Elite or Adidas Forest Hills, for example. Such footwear was referred to as 'trainers' only.
