I got up this morning and I shot an elephant in my pajamas.

How he ever got in my pajamas, I shall never know.

An Act of Parliament is normally considered to be law.

The 1995 British Waterways Act requires a boat to be licenced.

The owner of an unlicenced boat is breaking the law.

 

Being pedantic, it is the 1976 Byelaws that require a boat to be licensed on the canals; the 1971 Act that requires registration on certain rivers as defined. Breach of either is a criminal offence. Simplistically, the 1995 Act 'merely' added a few reasons why the authority could revoke or refuse either.

Perish the thought, just kidding.

I just wondered if there was a hidden message in your new avatar!

Alas, I am not that clever  just a stupid Beagle. Watch out Beagles about.

Well what a surprise (not!) he has almost reached 3k on his crowd funding page ... so time to rethink what i could spend next years licence fee on whilst i wait for a section 8 and can set up a similar page!

At this rate he will soon be able to pay what he owes CaRT.

More relevant is the likelihood of crt having to spend more than that in the next few years in legal fees, to move him on, get a bss, insurance and license for his new boat. Can we start a crowd fund for these legal fees, currently paid for by our license fees. He may of course do everything right this time.

I wonder how much money this crowd funding has made for the organisers a nice little earner me thinks.

 

Why does it make money for the organisers?  (Assuming by "the organisers", you mean the person who actually set up that particular appeal).

It does appear to have reached its £3,000 target.  If I read it correctly the hosting site takes nothing, but whoever handles the card transaction (eg.PayPal, takes 2.9% + .3USD). Am I wrong, but it seems the only people taking a cut are them, and that nothing is taken by anybody else.
