I had an old steel tackle-box from my grandfather - it ended getting left outside one winter and became a rust-bucket. But inside I found a card for a reel that he had that listed the repair centre for it as Maple Avenue North in Port Credit, with a five-digit phone number. Talk about a small world. You're absolutely right - tackle's got figure into this thing. @Murph – man, you’ve got that right.

Cottagers are loath to part with any of it. We still have a couple of old steel rods at our place that predate me. They wouldn't even make good skewers for the BBQ but they remain in the shed like prized family heirlooms. Whatever you settle on has to include a collection of never used fishing tackle.

I remember those catalogues well. As for the navels - I am going to take that question under advisement to Pub Quiz tomorrow night. One of those rounders will surely know the answer... @Rick: Ah, yes! Two models wearing pajamas, pointing and one of them inexplicably holding a duck decoy. I remember those catalogues well.

These aren't for self amusement but rather to elevate the decorating standard in most cottage bathrooms. Since you're so smart, was it the Eaton's catalogues that airbrushed out the navels in underwear images, or Simpsons ? Old Eaton’s catalogues in the bathroom!
