I've never quite reached £120 filling my Landrover's fuel tank but at £1.47 per litre it's getting pretty close.
Today I took mother to lunch in Clun and when I left home my gauge was already telling me I would have to stop somewhere to refuel. Passing busy lines on forecourts in Tenbury and Ludlow we arrived in Clun and enjoyed a good value meal in the White Horse (Clun Pale Ale at £2.30 a pint plus a special discount of £5.50 off the food for two main courses ordered at the same time) It's probably worth hanging about outside and looking for a companion to eat with if you are on your own!
We actually had £6.75 extra for puddings - justified by the discount!
After lunch we headed directly to the fuel station. I parked next to the diesel pump and set off filling my tank. An attendant attended and advised me that there had been a rush on fuel so they were limiting customers to £30 each.
I asked if the pump would cut off automatically. He said "no" I would have to control the trigger. But as we approached £29 the pump began to slow. And slow. And slow. And when I arrived at £29.97 it stopped altogether.
It wasn't the £30 limit being applied. I had just purchased the last drop of diesel in Clun.
We operate two small holiday caravan parks in the north-west corner of Worcestershire near Tenbury Wells. Some of the caravans are privately owned and others are let for family holidays. All caravans have fully fitted kitchens and bathrooms and are connected to mains electricity and water. Most have two bedrooms and sleep up to a maximum of four people. We pride ourselves on our personal welcome and customer care
