159 out of 8000.

Or people don't believe "consultations" anymore. Designed to pretend the public have been consulted whilst you implement what you were always going to do anyway.
 
Seems folk cannot summon up the energy to put a constructive point of view when change is possible but can certainly can find the time to complain when it will achieve little ?
 
How many of those 8000 boat owners knew about it? Apart from a handful on the forums or those who are members of the TMBA, how else would you hear?
There were no notices on the message boards at Locks, no announcement on the EA's river conditions website, nothing through the post or emails to licence holders.
No doubt prominently displayed in a locked filing cabinet in a disused lavatory marked 'beware of the leopard'.

And the questions were just nonsense. How happy are you with the EA's approach to the management of the Thames? A)very B)totally C)I think Barry Russel deserves a pay rise.

No I didn't know that. Who was he on stage with?

Edit. Blimey, Pink Floyd. I'm get jealous.

Another great Adam's quote:
You can tune a guitar but you can't tuna fish. Unless of course, you play bass

Think he was personal friend of DG. and he was playing a Strat at Earls Court. Six of us in unison desperately tried to get tickets online but the F%^&* touts as usual had hoovered up the all the tickets. The seating collapsed :( on penultimate ? show which resulted in an extra show being announced , to late for touts to pounce :). We got our tickets On youtube somewhere. Probably 2nd best concert ever, I was at IOW in 1970 watching a certain guitarist play in early hours off the morning. :)

Is this is Fred drift?
 
re OP - Tony told me I should have received a PDF of my consultation comments by e mail. I've checked - I didn't. I did mine by phone whilst on the river, and as I don't believe anything the EA management say or do (whenever I see or hear the name Barry Russell I think of him as "lying Barry Russell"....) just wonder whether some attempts to reply to their consultation were simply not accepted.
 
After I filled mine out I got an email with the subject line "Consultation response received - Response ID: redacted"

In the email it said: "Following the end of the consultation we will produce a consultation response document and this will be published on this consultation’s web page by 27 November 2018. We will email you to let you know when we have published this document if you have requested that we do so."

Just to be clear, what I actually told you was:
"If I remember correctly, provided you supplied an email address a link to a pdf of your submission was emailed to you almost immediately from
environment-agency.gov.uk@citizenspace.com"
I have now checked my emails and verified this and the acknowledgement email also contained a response ID (as indicated by mersey) which gave access to your submission.
