As you hope to find?

I was reading 'Pilot' this morning and came across the wisdom that 'it's only polite to leave [the aircraft] fuelled and ready to go' for the next 'fellow'.

To me this seems a bit daft, as that fellow may be relying on less than maximum fuel for mass/balance reasons. Indeed, my club has a rule that you don't refuel the aircraft after a flight, giving the next user more flexibility when it comes to choosing his (or her) load.

I was just wondering what's considered usual. I'd hate to make some humiliating social blunder if I come to fly in the UK.

Thanks,

Proctor
