That was my understanding as well with regards to the Falkirk Wheel - the charge they wanted to make was simply unacceptable for any sort of regular use and effectively cut the Scottish Lowland system in half. I'm not sure that anyone ever paid when the charge was theoretically in force. Presumeably any lower charge wouldn't have covered the extra cost of collecting it. -- Niall ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Home is just a click away.
