Indeed they are. There was a case highlighted in the press a number
of years ago when motorcycle couriers from one of the major companys
were knicked for being in one of the parks. The riders were wearing
printed reflective tabards and had the usual stickers. A couple of
the bosses decided to go horse riding in the royal parks, wearing
the comnpanys printed tabard etc.

A horse is not a vehicle so plod couild do nothing.


Point of order: Regulation 4(8) - prohibits anyone from "exhibit any
notice or advertisement or any other written or pictorial matter"
without permission. http://www.hmso.gov.uk/si/si1997/97163901.htm

Basically if it's fun, you can't do it in a Royal Park.


Clarification: The event related ocurred long before 1997. In fact, before
1987.
