Nobody should have to subsidise me, equally I should not have to subsidise CCers by paying 25% more to CRT to use the system less. But that is currently what happens. You're paying for security, don't try to deny it. Your choice, so you pay it, and shuttup whining about it. I pay ABC leisure for security. I don’t deny or resent it. But I also have to pay CRT, via ABC leisure, an additional 25% which goes into CRT coffers and is nothing to do with security. So around £2250 for security, £250 surcharge to CRT, around £1100 direct to CRT for licence. Doesn’t seem a difficult concept to grasp.

Maybe they will eventually work out boat licences should be sold by the fortnight not anually. Did you mean anally or annually?

I thought the connection fee is 8% not 25%?

You know it was definitely not a snipe Telemachus. Seems I can't make a post without it being described as such. I was clearly empathising with marina dwellers/paid moorers and agreeing that CCers should contribute more. I feel even worse now knowing that you are suffering such a heavier financial burden.

You wouldn't have to pay the 25% if you didn’t want security. Your choice, not mine or anyone elses. You're so full of crap nick, honestly, it's pathetic.

I'm not convinced a navigation authority should be subsidising people who rent their property out by providing a very low cost alternative way of life.
People who keep the land property are not engaged in taking the risk which living on boats involves so they have no interest in the long term viability. It could be made much more uncomfortable or expensive tomorrow and they would sell the boat and run back to the house.
Its only because of the licence being so cheap that peopl
automatic edit removed the rest !

Just, even Patty described it as being like the Marie Celeste... That's exactly why it should never have been an open forum so that people like you misquote decent people ......... Would you like me to directly quote Patty?

Would you like to rent a share in my potato box on the roof - my bit of land?

I don't think the CRT should be paying people. They need to charge a reasonable amount of money for what in a lot of cases is housing.
This is a housing topic not a boating topic.
In my view it is unacceptable for people to privately own land or property.
I suppose I am a bit unusual in this view.

Who maintains them? Etc. Etc..

Nick has difficulty realising it’s not all about him. You are so wrong. That’s not what my experience of you tells me.
