Was it ? I thought it was a bit less than that. Oh well.

I have a couple of reasons for not getting mine until I have to.
I wont be fishing for a few weeks so I see no reason to get one until then, I would just be paying for something I wont be using.
I would sooner the money was in my bank rather than the EAs for as long as possible as I hate paying it to them anyway.

If I skive off they stick needles in the effigy they made out my nail clippings and back hair (ain't got none on me head but the missus thinks I look like a silver back) and I am back under their control.
It didn't work for me. They kept going round in circles with the same questions. The system couldn't seem to cope with swapping from a two to three rod licence so I just started again and renewed on line . Must say it was quicker this time round as it arrived today

I wouldn't worry Kev, even if you don't have a shred of paper with you any EA enforcement officer will be able to ascertain whether or not you have a licence from the information you give them on the bank, they'll use the same process of questions and checking that they use with licence dodgers and it works from the example I witnessed and, if you haven't received it by the time you fish, it's hardly your fault.
Hi Binka
Yep totally agree, over the years I've been checked loads of times on Windermere / Pennine Fishery / River Ouse at York Centre and a few times on commercials all over the place. I think that unless you fish really obscure places the EA seem to target popular places, The Pennine Fishery was a good one as when me and a friend arrived it was very busy by the time the EA had checked the bottom lake, the top lake was almost empty - had plenty of room all afternoon

I still renew mine at the post office, still have to wait for them to post it out, you do get a receipt that you can show, say ing that I haven’t seen a bailiff for years.

I met one on the Derwent a few weeks ago, looked like he was in a SWAT team. Stab vest etc, nice chap, he checked my licence on the phone as I had left mine in another tackle bag.

Mine arrived this morning. I have to say it is still as flimsy as ever but it is a rather splendid gudjin

Mine showed up today, purchased on the 8th arrived 15th. Don’t think that’s too bad. A nice Gudgeon on the front I can add to my pile of saved licenses.
Yes I’m sad enough to have started saving my old ones !

Mine too. Not a bad turn around at all.
If I don't start catching soon I shall be forced to reconsider my position and ask for a refund!

Saw my renewal email on the 9th of March,renewed,received rod licence on the 15th,far better than last year,when I ended up officially complaining,in spite of having my receipt email printed,as being without my licence way after its start date is unsatisfactory,especially when they had my cash 3 weeks before that date,the incompetent fool that I talked to on the phone needed shooting and brought a two page blast from me,grrrrrr.

Mine arrived this morning... Just three working days after renewing online
I pay for mine by Standing Order. They sent me a letter a while back. Every year the letter says that if your details remain the same, you don't need to do anything, and the license arrives later.
This year I threw the letter away unread. Has there been some change likely to affect things? Can I expect the license to arrive as usual?
My fault, I suppose, but I chose that method of payment so as to be foolproof and not to have to think about it.
