It is not everyone's business. It is between BW and the boat owner. Perhaps you are right, there may be no point in having a visible licence. If BW staff can check with their system via a hand-held device whether a boat is licenced or not, then paper licences may be pointless. As the good Cap'n Beeky says, should he display his tv licence in the front window? One of my pet bugbears is people sticking their noses into things that don't concern them, and sounding off without knowing the full facts of a situation. That can create a lot of unnecessary tension and hostility. Dorothy
