Red Tape

Well today saw the last of the applications to the nine different borough, city and district councils I have had to make to secure the necessary permits and licences to allow us to collect money as we go. It's amazing how although all governed by the one law of the land each council had their own take on what was required.
Un fortuanately we aren't allowed to collect in London on Day 6 as there os only one week allocated for collecting by the MPS, such a loss of potential cash... if anyone has any bright (legal) ideas please letu know.
So I just need to wait by the door for the postman to get all the licences back then I can start applying to HMSO for the required certificates and badges. Good old red tape, it's great to be British!
It's probably been the most gruelling task of the planning yet (incliding the walking) but the grief will be worth it.
