Wishing you'd never asked?


Not at all, thanks. I suppose motorcycle couriers are banned from the
parks as well.


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.

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.
