    Well lads if the Labour party decides that they want us to pay a lighthouse charge they will no matter what we do or say because if Blair wants it he\'ll get it no matter what.
    Now to cheer myself up I\'m going digging bait in case the weather picks up a bit.

    May the holes in your net be no larger than the fish in it.

      Remember, some people are alive simply because it is illegal to shoot them.

        Hello Mark. Dont worry too much about how they are going to enforce it. I wouldnt imagine RAF BOULMER being involved because they are going the journey shortly.

          Dont want to upset you boat anglers out there, but ninety percent of us would be paying £100 for something we know little about. Can anyone of you honestly say that you understand and know the whole buoyage system. From channel markers to warning markers to navigation, the different colours, shapes etc. The book i have is nearly half an inch thick. Mind i still think it is dispicable.

                Al,
                Possession is 9/10ths of the rules of persuasion. My best effort is \"View from the Sea\" by Richard Woodman that illustrates the lighthouses and buoys from Berwick to Maryport and makes me the Cannock equivelant of Lord Nelson, especially in my gaff\'s gansey and my sou-wester. Safe or what? As for your original post Elle I just become more and more disillusioned as the days go by. I would\'nt mind if Blair said something and stuck by it - I could then disagree and vote for someone else. It\'s this cowtowing to public outcry. The man has no conviction. I fear we\'re doomed, doomed

                  The only thing I feel we could be charged for really is the GPS signals, nothing else we use.
                  The VHF we supply the power and we are both transmitt and receive so no intervention.
                  RNLI Yes ........ thats a one also , but we all contribute voulantry (i hope)

                  when was the last time I used a lighthouse ................ mmmmm well, lets forget that oe LOL

                              Me thinks this could end up as an editorial in next weekends Sunday Sun. Anyone got any relevant points they would like to raise, post here or send to me direct.

                              cheers Ell, this time of year quite hard to get soemething to get my teeth into

                                Alan,

                                According to the boating mags and forums , some goverment egghead has calclated the small boat fleet in the country can sustain a 4% rise in running costs . This , coupled with the fact Trinity house have been itching to introduce a small boats \"License\" ( not that it is any of their business like ) is the basis for the current trend of thinking . There are also noises afoot to levy full duty on red diesel for the leisure industry , all in all it\'s very bad news for boating fraternity .

                                What I cannot understand how this bloody shower of **** can get away with so much daylight robbery on a grand scale such as this .

                                Problem that everybody has now is who to vote for as in imho they are all exactly the same
