That was my thort too. But they have a special taxfree pump (at GJ anyway, haven't looked out for them elsewhere, people say they are there). Quite a lot of MCA boats do get the taxfree fuel apparently. Need a charter contract also, but you can be the charterer yerself. This is all a bit hearsay, though from reasonable sounding peeps (Bart agrees it works in principle), I will post much later in year as to whether it axshully works in practice or is too much hassle getting arrested etc

i think jfm plans a very clever-clever city-style approach whereby he launches a hostile bid for the fuel pontoon, and then reverses into it. That might work.

Are you in France or Spain these days? - this is a french only thing.

I really dunno how this works in practice, but will rpeort back later ..... I could be talking complete bolx, wouldn't be first time. I will be trying this out during the 2004 season with a commercial/MCA/Part 1 commercial etc boat chartered to self, will report back. Also need to find the fuel dock that is most compliant in this regard as I spect the resistance/bureaucracy can vary (from lots to loads) between places.

Seems worth a try

Re: 6 nations

If anyone is not playing well or is carrying an injury the Coach may want to pull them off at half time - perhaps you could lend a hand :)

Happy New Year

Will you ever !!!!! I will love you forever Forbsie ..... especially if you can arrange for Ben Cohen to have a little injury. Nothing serious, just something that needs a little attention.
