Latest from CRT email
We can all be forgiven for sheltering inside as much as possible before spring rears its head. There is an alternative though - our canals are open every day of the year, 24 hours a day, and are free to use.
See you out and about this winter,

and are free to use. It would be fun to see people now demanding their licence money back! How would this stand up in Court?

Which in itself is ridiculous because there are numerous stoppages here and there which means the actual canal is not usable. Well I suppose it is by a canoe.
Was this email sent to canoers?

It's only a ploy to guilt trip walkers and cyclists into becoming friends.

Same strategy as museums who have a sign saying "give us a fiver to keep this museum free to use"
Err. In what way would it be free if I pay a fiver or do they mean "pay us so other people can choose not to"

It's a little bit more cynical than that.
It's more like "look at what we give you free.arent we a good charity"

Who is going to report them to the advertising standards committee? Toothless Watchdog or Rap-on-Knuckles-and-Kick-in-Goolies?
