I don't know the answer, Brian but car tax does not cost between £600 - £800 on average! Not only that but most people, when on the canals meander through them and have much more time to ponder about the unfairness of the non-payers and the people who do not contribute to the upkeep of the waterways. Incidently, people like Graham? who think that everbody should have moorings, (And pay for them) should bear in mind that the hard earned cash, (Or in my case pension) does not contribute to the well being, upkeep and keeping the aterways in good condition. Going back to the basis of "ALLANS RANT" it ws the beauocracy about the legal rules and regulations that I object to, when canal and river staff SHOULD BE more intersted in a positive attitude to canal users and the intellegent application and discretion of the "rules" ~Allan~
