trappa 517 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Excellent craigyboy! Desertdog, im ok doing it any way, if thats the way people fancy doing it then thats fine. i havent done a comp before and just presumed it would be both length and weight as that way you can roughly see its length on a photo. For a prize i can donate a signed copy of my " Jampacked " book if thats ok. Its got a good marrow chutney recipe in too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
