I have to say that I am looking forward enormously to July 1st. It was wonderful, on my trip to Ireland last year, to go into a pub and be able to breathe clean air. It is very popular to slag off the government these days (although not as popular as during the Thatcher era, ISTR) but in this case I think they have got something dead right. The only thing I would criticise them for in this matter is for being so far behind other countries in introducing the legislation. -- Martin Clark Internet Boaters' Database http://www.boaterweb.co.uk Pennine Waterways Website http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk
