TL4458 : Pirate punts?

taken 7 years ago, near to Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England

Pirate punts?
Pirate punts?
One of the licensed puntmen at Clare College was telling me that these gentlemen are operating without licence, and from a slipway they are not authorised to use. The boats are 3-abreast, not 2-abreast, and should not be on the river, in his view. He suggested that as well as being unlicensed they might be uninsured.

I have no way to confirm his allegations, but the operators were certainly rather less than polite when approached.
