I think Wunja was asking about white diesel at Limehouse.
There is a roadside filling station about 1 Mile away.
Texaco - 77-101 The Highway, London, E1W .

I have just spoken to Limehouse and they are fully booked from 5th May to 7th June.
So that is the end of that Plan.:(
Now to work out Plan B.

I suppose if needs be and wunja was concerned about getting white diesel then surely between the rest of us we could carry a few litres , I have spare capacity for 40 litres in two drums , he could probably motor all the way back home on that and then some :rolleyes:

Just a thought .......

I would be very surprised if there are any moorings available anywhere on the tidal Thames that weekend following a chat with the folk at Limehouse.
The following weekend is the river pageant.
Every one involved will be moving their boats to London the weekend before.

Lime house is huge, if Robert were running it they would get 400% more boats in the same space :D
