Land..........

Leave airport for business meeting........

Return and pay landing fees & Ask for fuel ...........

Have to taxi to the other side of airfield to uplift fuel.........

After 20 min wait get fuel, but can't pay at pumps.........

Taxi back to other side of airfield to pay..... Another half hour taken with this !

Take off for for home as I have missed the next business appointment due to the faffing about.........

Conclusion................ Blackpool is run for the staff not the customers ......

That's why the staff will soon be out of work.......... They have actively discouraged my custom and no doubt others feel the same
I was in a few weeks ago, and taxied over to the pump, filled up and paid right there in the wee builders buchtie next to the pump. The young guy that pumped the fuel was a real flying enthusiast and although i think it was his first time running a credit card for fuel he tried a few times then finally got how to enter the info into the computer and i was good to go, no problem
