That's a hard-hitting post and a bit off the Carl/Alex topic - but I couldn't agree more with what you say. Wise words. I live in Harefield and regularly see first-hand the difference between the media and 'real-life' experience of at least one of the 'idols'.

Had a 1303S Beetle back in the early 80s

Got p*ssed up one night back in 1984 and thought I'd spend the night in the back of it

Woke up about 08.30 in the morning covered in my own sick and it was all over the plastic seats ... Had to drive home hanging like a monkey, and then spend 3 hrs trying to clean the thing

Stank of sick for months ... Not my greatest idea but would have made a great video blog id imagine

Think he says in one of the video that he agreed on the project with the pond builder and filtration company.... im presuming that its in exchange for him doing marketing and media work for them as well as using his video as a showcase

Ultimately, people need to stop encouraging kids who want to join an industry which pays buttons, or at least give the realities of it. Get a trade, travel the world and go fishing when you want to, not when you feel you have to. Or follow your dream and realise you'll never be able to afford what some people who earn 24k a year in Aldi do.

Everyone wants to be the next XYZ dangler without realising the pitfalls that come with it. If you want to be paid 16k a year sticking £5 stickers onto a pack of hooks then fair play to you. Just realise at some point, you'll have to choose between syndicate fees or selling your tournaments just to stick fuel in the car.

Some of the biggest idols in this game haven't got a pot to piss in because all they did was spunk their wages on acid, beer and takeaways down Yateley. If that's your future, then good luck. I just hope you find happiness, because some of those idols are far from idols to the kids who hate them because they were never there.

You ever slept in a VW polo? Give him some credit those toy cars are small!

I know people will look at it and this his choices are strange but it seems he’s doing what he wants to, enjoying his life how he wants to, and documenting it. There is no hard sell, so I’m for it to be fair.

having watched Alex's videos since the first one that was very poor I must admit I've quite enjoyed them,enjoyed the bee keeper one and found it interesting,the shpherds hut one was OK too...he has 38.5k followers already so no doubt it will be a hit.
