Do you *really* want me to draw attention to your other postings?

 

If it gives you a hard on, knock yourself out.

Having paused to consider it for a couple of minutes, I then decided
that I'd happily bet the bar bill from the hotel that this is a
wind-up from TOG.

OK, I confess.

After murdering, in cold blood, Sandra Rivett, on the night of 7th December
1974 I used a friend's private plane to fly to France, travelled by train to
Southern Spain and then boarded a flight for South America. I lived there
until 1990, when I returned to England, using a false identity that I
purchased via contacts in Columbian drug gangs.

Although I am sorry to have been outwitted I am, after 35 years of guilt,
somewhat relieved to have been caught. Words can not express the remorse I
feel for my actions and, as I hear the police knocking at my door, I resign
myself to the life sentence which undoubtedly faces me.




Hang on, I wasn't on the fucking TOG-tour!

Bollocks!

My guess is they don't. They probably got a picture of a bike coming
towards them at Eek! mph, didn't get the number, saw all the bikes going
to Dover, asked the ferry companies, got told by POSL of our run, and
went fishing.

If they had anyone's number, they'd have been nicked by now.

Don't think anyone has anything to worry about.

 

Seeing as the new PSI Compliance directive is in operation now PandO
will still have the PNR details of all of those travelling.

Mind you, it's a bit chocolate teapot as the airline which carried our
Scottish Swine Flu cousins back into the UK has been completely unable
to produce a passenger manifest for inspection to see who the 'six
coughing people' on the aircraft were as they deleted the records
after the aircraft arrived. Genius.

This is mostly because Charter tickets often lack a name and display
only gender.

 

Really? They've been on the blower in the last hour. They have
'photographic' evidence of 'serious traffic offences'.

My guess is they have diddley-squat. Maybe a Plod car got a head-on
camera shot. But that wouldn't tie in with any CCTV shots of the rear of
any bike misbehaving, would it?

 

Why don't they **** off and do some real police work?

 

Yes. I used SF last year. They have a couple of new boats with natty bike
clamps.

They might be coming to you as they think you're the Tour Operator
under the Package Travel Regulation 1992. Given that you booked a
ferry and a hotel for a number of people they could reasonably require
you to divulge YOUR passenger manifest as a Tour Operator.

I've just checked
<http://www.netlawman.co.uk/info/holiday-packages-operators.php> to
see if they legally call you a Tour Operator but you might be able to
get away with it if you say that organising a holiday for members of a
club which you belong to. Although it's difficult to define UKRM as a
'club' as there are no paid or free 'members' if you see what I mean.
The following would seem to imply that you are a Tour Operator under
the Package Travel Regulations 1992 as you offered the TOG Tour 'for
sale' instead of just organising it and telling everyone to pay PandO
+ hotel on their own:

""
They apply to those who 'put together' and offer holidays for sale.
This includes all tour operators, travel agents etc. If you put
together a holiday say, on behalf of members of your social club, it
is most likely that the regulations do not apply. In this example, the
members have decided to organise the holiday themselves and have
merely appointed you as their organiser. However, if you offer a
package for sale, the regulations will apply.
""

I would agree, but they must suspect something. There must have been
loads of motorcycles around on that part of the motorway at that time
BUT if they pin the you are a Tour Operator badge on you then it would
be quite easy to say that your duties as a tour operator were only
from the outbound ferry until the inbound ferry. YOU DID NOT provide
transport or a 'pick up' from their local area in the UK to the ferry
terminal.

Given your non-technical nature I would personally suggest that you
have already shredded/pulped and disposed of the passenger list
(addresses, etc, those little bits of paper which people fill in when
you book 'em). After all, there was no use you keeping them after the
trip was completed which leaves the ball in the court of PandO.

They'll have the registration numbers of the vehicles which travelled.

 

He did NOT do it as a business venture.

I have already made the greatest contribution to the fight against climate
change that I can make: I have decided not to breed. Now quit bugging me and
go and talk to the Catholics.

 

No, he did not. But he did put together a trip for members of a
'social club' and then offer it FOR SALE which therefore means he
could well be a Tour Operator under the Package Travel Regulations
1992 for which there is a requirement for book keeping.

Sorry and all that, but I work for a Tour Operator (a proper one) but
didn't realise that the same regulations would apply to a trip for
UKRM. It would appear that as it was offered For Sale then it would
be a Package holiday. It could also mean that TOG was acting as a
Tour Operator without holding a valid ABTA license.

However, I suggest either saying that the people on the trip were all
grown ups, I'm not their keeper - these are the details I gave to P&O
re: vehicle registrations (if you had any provided to you) but they
might be incorrect (you know how often peeps change bikes) and the
most up-to-date list would be available from P&O as I believe they
print the registration on the boarding card, that way it goes back to
P&O. They must have some details on file as they swiftly gave the
feds the name and address or TOG.
