Drunk Driving on a Narrowboat

Well, am I right?

A by product of a fruit that grows on trees is turned into prunes, so no prunes don't grow on trees.

 

Does a 4x2 plank grow on trees?

If they did, picking them would be a plum job.

A plank isn't a tree and doesn't grow on a tree, it is a by product of a felled tree, it's been processed from the tree, a by product

A plank is a processed trunk and a prune is a processed plum

 

A plum grows on a tree as a natural part of the trees life cycle, a plank requires the processing as does the plum.

Couldn't yew saw straight down the length of a growing tree and get yourself a plank? And tie a plum (or stick it) so it turns into a prune without leafing the tree it grew on?

As a matter of interest what's the punishment for drink boating?

 

I'm sure I read somewhere that you could lose your driving licence?

I don't think there is one beyond anything that may be in the bylaws. There was a proposal and I don't think it was implemented

Anyone crewing a boat in the course of employment is subject to the same legal alcohol limit as car drivers. Leisure boaters are not subject to any specific alcohol limit, but can be drunk in charge.

 

The law provides for limits for leisure boaters to be introduced, but these have never been implemented, partly because the main problem with drunk boating is in connection with jet skis, rather than other boat types, and the way the legal definitions work, these wouldn't be covered by the legislation.
