They are red and are put on towpath side windows by patrol men. I don't know what system BW uses for identifying boats paying by installments but I assume typing the bw number into their little machine could give them that info. Why should we be party to that info? > . > > Sue nb Nackered Navvy >
Because unless BW are transparent in their dealings with their customers they will further alianate the majority of those who try to follow the rules and also give grounds for people to believe the worst of any decision they take or statement they make. At present I, and I get the impression a fair few others, have grounds to question BWs assertions that only 8% of boats are incorrectly licensed/permited. This impression is formed from simple observation. The fact that BW have the powers to put stick "overstaying" notices on boats also means they have the powers to do the same for boats which are licensed/permited, but refuse to display. I note the more frequent posters that indicate that they are considering declining to purchase licenses and permits because itb apperas that it is easy to avoid any penalty for so doing. BW should be worried about this attitude developing. Tony Brooks ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Check out the new improvements in Yahoo!
