I agree with Sue. It was a cunning 'for your safety and our profit' BW money
spinner. Just look what they charged the testers for the (must use) forms a
couple of years after the start of the scheme when the money they got from the
initial compliance dried up. At the time of its starting many realised what BW
were up to for few trusted BW - not like we all do now.

The BSS was already in place when I started boating. Although I have
concerns about the evident inconsistencies in the way it's
implemented, it seems a sound general proposition. What I am
intrigued about is why it might have been conceived as a 'money
spinner'. Who amongst those who put it in place stood to gain from
the process?
