Honest question 737jock, sine we fly for the same outfit: how many times have you landed in London Gatwick with less than Final Reserve+alternate?

Sure, no delay may mean anything up to 20 minutes but I have regularly taken plog fuel and RARELY even approached landing below FInal Reserve+alternate. What is the fuss all about?

Take extra fuel if you think you need it, like during rush hour, no matter what the definition of 'no delay' is.
