Cancellation reasons

No idea how a future deposit scheme might work David. I might tell them in general terms if asked but that is the limit, which is why I said that I would not provide evidence. 

Steve said he would go through a long drawn out explanation with proof and hence my comment.

Just cancelled our outing next week due to lack of fuel-filling ability.  Don't want the hassle or anxiety about refilling here or when away somewhere else to come home.

Went out to shop and try for fuel, but the queues here were just silly and they were blocking the entrances to the nearest Sainsburys and Morrisons (plus the Aldi next door).  Ended up shopping in an M&S Food on a retail park, as I couldn't face trying another queue for Tesco.

Darned annoying really as we were looking forward to it and the weather forecast doesn't look too bad.

I see availability is up enormously at a few popular sites this weekend and onward ...  good for those with fuel in the tank.

NB I thought the Club have repeated ruled out taking site booking deposits? (Or have I missed some announcement hidden in the tiny font they print the  magazine in?)

Currently touring and have had no problem getting fuel this past week. Today filled up with diesel after a short wait. Most garages I passed today had fuel. Not at every pump but they had some. Diesel seems easier to come by. It can only get better.

Just made the journey from Hampshire to Cornwall and surprised how easy it was to get fuel. About half the stations we saw in Hampshire/East Dorset were closed, the rest with some queues. However, beyond that in West Dorset, Devon & Cornwall they were all open with very little or no queues. Even my local garage which manages to run out of fuel on a regular basis without the help of supply chain problems has some! Maybe your trip to Cornwall might be easier than the media would have you believe?

If everybody topped up their tanks last Thursday or Friday, most people won't have gone far enough since to need any more yet. I'd to hunt around a bit last Friday evening to get enough to fill my commuter car for the week end, but fore courts seem to be nearing 'normal' already 

Not true. On the right tariff you can charge in the early hours of the morning at a third of the normal unit costs. Not many people use a lot of power at 2.00 am in the morning. It is a very efficient use of the generation and distribution system.

Thats ok if you have access to that tarif  and you can park close enough to your property to take advantage of it

there are millions of properties that will not be able to have home chargers

Glad that's the case, SB, as we are now down in S. Cornwall. We only past a couple of garages on the way down and one only had the petrol price showing on their illuminated sign, but as we still have half a tank full of diesel we're hoping to get filled up before the weekend.

You’ll be ok in S Cornwall, wife filled up at Tesco in St Austell last evening and was the only person there. Added bonus is the big exodus is underway, after weeks of mayhem the crowds seem largely to have gone to join a fuel queue in the home counties!

Luckily Nellie, loads of service stations close by where you are. Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsbury’s all on outskirts of Penzance.👍
