Oh, OK - I can see exactly what you are getting at now - you want to alter just those rules that affect you personally and, presumably, just in order to lower your own boating costs.
What I cannot see is how this sits with your recent article about the folk living in a community on the K&A - surely they are only doing the same as you want to do, i.e., change the rules to suit themselves? You simply cannot sit on both ends of the same see-saw, well not at the same time, Adrian - even ex planning directors are subject to the same rules as the common herd :-( If your arguments are to hold water then I guess the same should happen with the roads - we could have cheaper licenses for cars incapable of pulling four adults up Chidock (sp?) Hill and close those motorways, roads and lanes which we don't use personally, get rid of the railways, airports, harbours and buses that the majority of the population never use, etc. Trevor [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
