The 'Work' In 'Paperwork'

Just as I thought starting Coast Rider from Plymouth Hoe was in the bag, the following happened...

Aargh!! I don't believe it, he said in his finest Victor Meldrew tones. Just had an email from Plymouth City Council, containing the following documents: Event application form, Risk Assessment form, Conditions of Use document, and of course the indespensible Tick Sheet. Give me strength... I also have to inform the cops (who were v. friendly and supportive, bless 'em) and take out two million quids worth of public liability insurance. Is it all worth it, I ask? I can't even turn the situation to my advantage and have a lively old bash as I'm apparently denied the manifold pleasures of music, food, alcohol (what!) or animals. What a bunch of killjoys. How the hell do we get ANYTHING done in this once proud nation?
