Dave, I recently cancelled a trip to St Mawes, a real favourite of mine . Rising Sun, The Idle Rocks, Tresanton , Victory Inn……
So many happy memories here over my lifetime , boating, speedboat, diving, Morgans, Cornish smocks, girlfriends, wife & kids etc etc.
Decided to stopathome this Easter and monitor the petrol situation pending a trip to the southwest late April, early May for my birthday.
I used to be responsible for running 400 + company owned petrol stations and a large dealer network. Petrol is in my blood and all directions if asked include “ pass the Shell station, turn left at the BP site” etc etc , so it was nice that you detailed a couple.
The next fuel shortage worries me, as so many forecourts have gone for housing and supermarkets are now the backbone of our distribution system.
We now have too few refineries, too little petrol and diesel storage - we are one of the worst in Europe and of the major economies.
Buckle up guys, we could be in for a tough ride…or no ride at all ….borrow an EV !?
MM
PS I would live in St Mawes but my wife thinks we would be too far from the kids .
