Really enjoying your ramblings, sorry, tales.
I am glad we aren't onboard until after your return, Matron has a "thing" for firemen, it would be very unbecoming if she was constantly looking out the window waiting for you to pass.
I did see my initial and full surname up on the DVLA site last year, sadly it was 3 grand and I didn't have a spare car at the time. Matron also said no.
They all relate to my main business,
They are on surveyors cars and work vans.
They are a good subtle form of advertising as customers say, you have loads of vehicles with ROT plates, we see them everywhere.
As you are probably aware we do not have powers to restrict swimming in the rivers and broads
I can assure you that the proposed Waveney River Swim will be robustly assessed and will not go ahead unless we have been satisfied that all reasonable measures are in place and that the impact on other users of the river have been minimised.
A bit of a contradiction here, they either have the authority to stop the event or they don't.
