They may shut up shop early, if enough people tell them what they think of their freeloading extremism and their dream of a Socialist Utopia where everything is provide free by the state.

The Caledonian Sleeper is quite good, even in the classic cabins (No ensuite loo and Shower) and I would travel to Fort William on the sleeper and have breakfast in the club car while travelling north over Rannoch Moor towards Lochtreighead. The club and double cabins (1st class tickets only) cost more than the classic cabin, it depends on how much you place the value of a ensuite loo and shower. The food in the club car is good, but with a limited choice of menu items which includes half a dozen 12 year old single malts. Senior Railcard holders do get up to 34% discount on Club Solo or Classic Solo rooms and seated products. As for the Highland Midge(Culicoides impunctatus), they have teeth like a bear trap, the good news is that only the females bite, the bad news is that there can are up to 500000 Midges for evey cubic metre. So hope for hot dry weather they don't like. Anyway I'm off to Paddington to catch the Night Riviera to St Ives in Cornwall to spend a couple of days with my grandaugthers.

I was sent a PDF file from my examiner via email and have done since 2016. I then just email a copy to the Marina Office and the MLC.

The Cyclists Touring Club (CTC) now branded as Cycling UK rejects any plans to introduce charges. Sustrans on the other hand who are busy turning towpaths into cyclepaths may support charging as they did with the K&A canal towpath back in the 2000's

"British Cycling" is the governing body for competitive cycle racing in Great Britain, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

When a licence is shared between boats, One of the tricks used is swapping the licence displayed with another on a set day, so it looks that a group of boats are moving when they are not. Displaying a fake or cloned licence (CART need to copy the Middle Level and make the licence hard to fake) and changing it ever so often. If the boat checker had access to a photo of the licenced boat, The evaders and rule breakers would be easy to spot. It would also bring a end to boat owners who have had their Name and Index number copied and are no longer on CART waters, being chased for non-payment of the licence and having to prove that the boat was not on CART waters at the time and date stated. This can take a few weeks or even months to sort out.

The Middle Level require that you sent copies of both the insurance certificate and the BSS with the licence application either by post or email. As there are only three marinas on the Middle Level. They are checked often by the enforcement officer for unlicenced boats. Boats without moorings don't have a licence as to get one you need to have a mooring. Which the NBTA claim is unfair as is the licence for their members are poor.

You can aready hear the screams of outrage from the 'Bargees' about their human rights not to be identfiled or recorded.

They should also require that a uptodate photo of the boat is upload with the application. This is the case with Waterways Ireland as it makes is easyier to spot a boat with a choned licence afterall most boat checkers don't known how to tell who the builder was. Ireland also has two types of licence depending on how long you plan to moor on Visiter moorings at any one time, with a lower licence fee for a stay under five days.

You do need to change the address to where the mooring is located, As they can visit. So you should add a message in your journal that the location has no postal service and if you have a postal address that can be used, Not that it should be a problem as UC is online based and very rarely sends anything via post.

It's no wonder that most see them as freeloaders when you consider that someone on the NMW working 35 hours a week is earning before deductions £20,820.80 and that the average renting household now spends 42% of their income on rent; this rises to 72% in London, 'Affordable rent' is deemed 30 percent or less. Yet the freeloaders moans about paying less than 10 percent of their income on the licence.

While heading down to Dorset for the rest of the weekend. Due to problems on the lines out of Waterloo, I rerouted myself via Paddington station and as the train I intended to use to Reading was leaving from platform 12 (Short ones). And it was about midday, I nipped over to Little Venice to do a quick headcount, so much for a turnout of hundreds. Wishful thinking for them as I only was able to see a small crowd of about 70 waving their silly signs. Heard quite a number of people yelling at them to 'Get a Job' or 'Have a shower' plus other things. Did not stay long as I had that train to catch.
