When is a rule not a rule?

Just got back from Cromer Seacroft site where there are two notices at the entry stating “Sorry no arrivals before 1.00pm”. However on at least two occasions we witnessed people, not only arriving before 1.00pm but being booked in and allowed on site, why do I bother timing my journeys and / or stopping in lay-bys to ensure I arrive after the advertised time when the rule is so blatantly ignored by others (including the wardens who allow it to happen)? 🤬

At FM some weeks ago a member was quite indignant that he was not allowed to book in as he was never informed that FM was 1300 earliest arrival time, the site staff asked if he had his booking confirmation ,which he had ,and  he then said it should be much more visible,,undecided,

He was also advised it is also on the booking pages of the websitesurprised

Although as the site staff said ,they had also asked the sites director why all members had not been informed that it was now almost all sites smile

What about people who've been in late arrivals overnight? Could they be amongst those presumed to be early? smile

Could be, but usually I've noticed these are booked in as as soon as the office opens and onto the site there after. I suppose some could be waiting for a specific pitch to become free but then they won't be in the new arrivals lane(s) like most early arrivals?

CS, That time in the emails is the time you declare you expect to arrive on site. Where does it say"The earliest arrival time is xxxx"?

Well is it possible to select, or declare as you say, a time earlier than 13:00 on booking? I think that pretty much covers it? That is the earliest arrival time on booking and your choice is shown on the email. I think you're splitting hairs here.

And anyway you posted:

Booking confirmations do not highlight or even mention the earaliest arrival time unless there are access difficulties.

But as I've shown you are incorrect. No doubt you want to reply (but to keep OT I won't)  but everyone else who has posted appears to suggest the arrival time is there, perhaps certainly incorrect, and has no problem with reading it as such.

You missed that, PD😄.

Remember when the arrival time options started with 12:00-1400 and continued in two hour slots 14:00-16:00 etc? The earliest option now of 13:00-15:00 tells its own story.
