Tail-take-off, the rule implies landing at any aerodrome not only at destination.
Of course common sense suggest to uplift extra fuel whenever LVO is forecasted. Regardless of the weather forecast UK requires any operator to arrive with additional 20 min holding fuel on top as it's considered as no delay in the UK. Well with the contingency fuel it's a story of it's own. If you arrive with it in the tanks good on you however in unfavorable circumstances you might have burned it even before you got airborne. Different companies have different fuel polices.
