    Who pays, who do they pay is errelvent. 

    My question was simple. Grendle has I'm afraid over egged the pudding.

    Who owns the staithe?

    Answer that will allow me to proceed to my next question. But not until.

     

     

     

    Ask the question please Mr W

    oh were it that easy, it in legal language so really only a lawyer can interpret it and my guess is that they will all differ in their interpretation. (the files displayed above are in the public realm and freely available)

    No a Lawyer will tell you what you want to hear, provided you pay him/ her enough.

    What I want to hear is who is going to refuse to pay.

    I think it means it’s not retrospective. So those of us that have not paid since charging started cannot be issued with a MCN…😎

    Sorry MCN 

    Fat fingers 🫣

    That would indicate they are unable to issue a penalty against anyone who declined to pay before the new signs went up.

    What an ill thought out fiasco.

    Does not make sense 

  5. It's not just the Ranworth issue .

    As with all things that come to a head it's a culmination of several different issues.

    The ongoing over inflation Toll rises has been nibbling at the tolerance of most boaters for years.

    There are several other issues that we are not allowed to discuss here that also are pushing the distrust of The BA to boiling point.

    I cannot discuss the issues but I can ( I think) say that us law abiding boaters are seen as low hanging fruit and are getting hacked off about it.

  6. Every connoisseur seems to have one 😲 

    Couple that with the loudest exhaust on any Broads boat 😲 

    Plus the dreadful lack of maintenance by the current owners of the hire boats 😲 I for one wish they had never been fitted in the first place 😭

    Yes I know I am going to get lambasted again but I will lower myself from my high perch and actually speak to other boaters 😲 AND even those who hire boats 😲

    A connoisseur hirer had taken over his boat from a well known boatyard at around 1400 and has run of power by 2000 that very evening.

    Not just the blooming "run engine" light coming on but totally run out of power including the starter battery.

    The next morning an engineer turned up and replaced the entire battery bank 👍 The engineer then said that " this is most unusual" 

    Unfortunately this resulted in all within earshot almost falling in the river laughing.

    This was a self confessed boat enthusiast who had over 50 hire's under his belt. 

    He was fairly desperate to get on shore power to avoid a repeat performance.

    I suppose it is credit to hire company that they fit shore power to these elderly boats 😎

  7. No I didn't pay.

    Rather polite lady asked how long I was staying and when I replied overnight she asked for £10. I politely replied that I would not be paying and she took down my boat name and registration number and said as she would pass it on to head office. 

    I politely replied "fair enough" and that was that.

    Bit of an anticlimax actually 😲 

    Suppose we have to see where it goes from here
