What a lovely pleasant chap you are ... good to know Rog My capacity for being "pleasant" is reserved for those who don't post mindless claptrap. I can't remember the last occasion when demand posed any threat to supply.

Vomit inducing claptrap if you don't mind !
Did your mummy never explain that sometimes people think differently, and even that occasionally you may be wrong ?

Mr Shit-for-Brains doesn't make any valid points about anything, . . . To be fair, Mr Shit-For-Brains(your bold) did make some valid points around your boat Halcyon Daze and the subsequent removal and fencing of by CRT

To be fair, Mr Stabby makes a valid point about commercial use, however I believe C&RT's role should be to maintain all the system they adopted. Otherwise it would be like the NT knocking down the least visited sites each year to save money. Rog Mr Shit-for-Brains doesn't make any valid points about anything, . . and C&RT didn't "adopt" anything ! Legal responsibility for maintaining the "in Public ownership" waterways previously under BWB control to the standards laid down under Section 105 of the Transport Act 1968 was taken on by the C&RT under the British Waterways Board (Transfer of Functions) Order 2012. It's always seemed a rather strange irony that the person who shouts the loudest about the lack of maintenance on the waterways system is also the person who tries the hardest to avoid paying his share of the cost of it.

1/35000 give or take a few thousand
It might seem like a drop in the ocean and all that but don't forget if you get 2 pence off everyone in the whole country you are a millionaire.

Who payed for the improvements that allowed heavier lorries to be used on the roads ..... it sure as hell wasn't the RHA When I ran my own truck, I used to pay around £70,000 per annum in fuel duty alone. That's how roads are funded. Technically it isn't. The money raised from fuel Duty goes into a big pot with the rest of it. It could be argued that it does indirectly. In the uk the gov raises about 28 billion in fuel duty and a little less in car VED, we only spend around 11 billion on out roads.

That's as I have always understood it fuel duty is not hypothecated.

ETA: It appears that Shit-for-Brains doesn't have an answer, . . so perhaps those [ dogless and loddon] who were so anxious to lend their support to his views would care to provide one !

TD, We all should pay towards the upkeep of the system be it through a canal licence or through a river registration. You however did not pay for HD whether this was your fault or carts fault is immaterial. The fact is you didn't pay so we are in effect subsidising you.
So tell me how is the statement wrong?

Wasn't the argument that the boat was stationary outside of the navigable channel on a PRN river?
Of course there is the thorny question of who pays to impound water in the reaches by using weirs so yes technically someone doing that without paying is indeed being subsided by others who do pay.

I think you will find that on EA rivers it doesn't matter where the boat is you still have to have a registration even if the boat is up a backwater.
