‘Would you be prepared to contribute towards the charity?’ she asked
‘I already do. £900 a
year’
‘Oh, that’s generous is it a voluntary contribution?’
‘No it’s my licence fee for having a boat on a canal’
‘I don’t really know anything about how it works with boats
on the canal’
‘Doesn’t your training include details of the boats and
boaters and the licence fees they pay?’
‘No we’re only taught how to approach normal people’
