****Whatever Next?**** I think that suggesting to introduce Traffic Wardens and the like for boats is sheer nonsense! I thought us boaters took to the canals to get away from all the beaucracy (Mis-spelt perhaps?) God forbid, don't lets go down this road!
Live and let live, the canals are about the only place left to have a bit of freedom away from the "dictatorship" of the rest of the country. I know this is creeping into BW affairs but my suggestion to them is keep a bit of flexibility. Having said that, I have personally found BW staff very helpful and obliging, except for the odd workman in the maintenance depots sometimes. Now I've got that off my chest, I'll get myself some dinner! ~Allan~ --- In [email protected], David Cragg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > That's what we need - and for BW to tow them away to a pound somewhere - fat chance. > > Steve Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: elliedomino74 wrote: > > BW only bother to move people on in certain areas - eg near Anderton > > Lift! > > Are people here aware that BW are about to start charging over- stayers > at Anderton?
