It's difficult to work out what they do or don't feel at the moment. One thing however is for certain: what they 'feel' is determined by what maximises their income or minimises their expenditure. In the past it was in the old BWB's interest to encourage as many boats onto the system as they could, licensed or unlicensed. This way they justify their existence. They could argue for the future of a new canal age. Nowadays overwhelmingly the majority of boats are licensed it's probably in their interests that they don't move at all. That way BW gets some pay off above license fees for moorings and minimizes wear and tear on equipment. Or is that just too cynical? Steve [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
