Expensive diesel on the river

I saw him few weeks ago at Laleham.

Bit academic. Diesel £1.80 per litre in Brighton.

I heard he’s retiring as well, but don’t know if it’s true.
My home berth is not far from his and the boat is often out.

I saw some signs last year advertising the business for sale

Ramsgate.
Club member fueled up there a week or to ago on his way back from the Solent.
Price listed at £1.80 per litre.
This is the commercial rate and when our intrepid boater went to pay the vat and tax was added.

Well done, did you have to get John out of bed?

Chris the Merchant, £1.72 today - came to us bankside at Streatley. Just under 200 litres, very quick and efficient. Nice guy too. I'd have used 4 or 5 gallons getting to Better Boating and back - plus 6 hrs cruising. More or less makes sense, but at least we're ready for the next adventure now!

I don’t suppose anyone knows if Chris on Merchant sells HVO? A long shot I expect. Also, does anyone have contact details for him?

£1.73 at today's exchange rate so remarkably similar to here. £0.86 buys a euro at the moment.

£1.21p in Ardglass two weeks ago for Red. He was not interested in anything other than selling at tax free price.
