AH, got it!
That type of reply usually happens when an argument has been lost.
I only asked the question, ''why are there gaps on our platforms''?
Only ''peachy'' has posted a legitimate concern which is easily fixed.
I actually loved the safer larger size of the platform I fished from at Fladbury, but I see a problem with gaps through which things can fall into the water.
Making a platform without any gaps is actually easier than making one with gaps.
You only have to butt each plank, it could not be easier.
I can't see any angler being happy if they drop an item of tackle and they hear a ''plop'' as it goes through a gap and is lost forever.
Their particular tackle dealer will obviously be the happy one.
If you think about it, it is not only tackle that is at risk.
Pull out something from a pocket such as a handkerchief and you can drag out money, your phone or worse still, your car or house key.
Any of these things could go through a gap and into the water.
What a disaster that would be!
It may be a ''long-shot'', but it could happen.
I once saw my son bend down to pick something up and in an instance his smartphone slipped from his top pocket and went for a swim.
No phone, no insurance, not happy.
