Funnily enough it is!

We had started going to Inland Waterway events (before Ofcom appeared on the horizon) to explain the situation.

No reminder sent to me and my licence will expire in 20 days, so I thought I would renew on line but can't because I don't have the 'payment number' that I guess appears on the renewal notice. I want to renew but your systems ain't helping me at all. What do I do now, wait to be caught???

Errrr um it would appear after MM has conducted a full internal enquiry that my licence is due for renewal in May and my renewal notice is going out this week.

Appologies and thanks to MM for sorting, I am now on a hit list I am sure that if I don't renew i'll be getting a visit ..

Erm, I applied for mine on line a week or so ago it all went through but I have received nothing, should I be worried????

[Mike_Martin]

Not yet.

Now being definitely "pre-season" rush, the workload at the RLC takes us up to the 5-day in the Office turnaround limit. You then need to add time for postage which is done Business Class to keep costs down.

If you do get worried you can always ring the RLC on 0870 243 4433 to check on progress.

It's my long-term plan to get rich. If I squirrel away 5.5pence per year from each licence I will have enough to buy a nice boat.

Just worked it out it will take about 100 years

PM your details and I'll see what it's about.

Mike no worries .. can't be bothered with the hassle just for a day or so .. but nice boat at 5.5p * 100 = £5.50, which brokerage are you using cos I want one as well!

[Mike_Martin]

Ah yes but there are 65,000 licences.

100 years equals a very nice Gin Palace, unfortunately unlikely to survive may be good for any prospective G Grand children though.
