Hi All, Yesterday Wendy and returned with LT from a local marina after having her bum blacked. Nice job, 450UKP plus VAT for pulling out, blacking 2 coats up to the gunwales and putting back. While at the marina I took the chance to fill up with diesel before the big price increase. 115 litres at 89 pence. LT is now full to the brim and should last us some time. While chatting, I enquired of marina operator if he was ready for the changeover. No!, he has had nothing from HMG regarding what he should do in the 60/40 stakes. He further informed me that it was his intention to put up a large sign stating that diesel purchased from his pump could be used for domestic purposes only and he would continue to charge for red diesel as before. This, he considers, covers him by putting the responsibility for the usage and therefore the duty payable, with the purchaser and not the retailer.
