Besides, if WLAC fuel is so expensive, why do Booker seem to have been organising regular "Refuel at Waltham" weekends recently
To which the answer is "because the fuel tanks at Wycombe got contaminted by a bad batch of fuel". Apparantly a tanker (ship not road) load which came into Southampton was found to be contaminated (can't remember exactly what with) AFTER it had been delivered to Wycombe and one or two other places. The result was that on a few weekends there was no fuel at Wycombe until the fuel supply company got the tanks cleaned out, so we were all popping over to WW to refuel.
