OF.

And why doesn't this damn machine keep columns in the same order as the preview?

Wasn't that an old Mark Bolan / T-Rex hit song, Ride a Black Shuck ?

And Aged Francis should know by now that figures produced by quangofficialdom rarely align with anything.

Surely,by not responding to the survey you are telling the Broads Authority that you are,a.Fully satisfied.b.Not interested or c.Can't be bothered.My experience of consultations are that they are just a farce.But like the last one our local council ran only 2 people responded.Result 50% in favour 50%against.No mention whatsoever of the number of people taking part or responding.I have filled in the form,but there again I am only a visitor.What Dr.P. should ask himself is,Do the Boads toll users enjoy the same facilities as what are provided on the Thames?John

I agree with all that you say Peter.I am still not sure whether or not these consultation forms are legal,where the the person participating can be identified.I have never seen a consultation where a person has not had the option in supplying their name or in this case Registration Number.John
