Opening Hours w/c 27 September

Post by POL » Fri Sep 24, 2021 8:48 pm

Nothing posted yet, which seems unusual?

Anyone know if Coningsby are planning a down week next week or something? I'm off for a few days and planning a visit, so it would make sense for them to have a week off 😂

They've not been published yet. With tomorrow's mini airshow for the LLA day and this week being long hours it could be a quieter week. They might publish something tomorrow or Monday so will keep a look out.

Hope you have better luck than I in finding fuel for the trip. Most of the filling stations in my home town are close to empty, and as for diesel, you'd be better off starting to drill a well to find your own!

I've taken up playing golf in my semi-retirement and believe me, in attempting to hit the ball, I dig up enough turf - if there's oil down there, I'll find it... :lol:

Filled up last Friday (required, not panicked!) and haven't driven anywhere since. Should be enough to get me there and back from Manchester...what I do when I get home and need to be in work on Wednesday I don't know... :lol:
