You are correct.. sadly there are those who have that attitude.. but I can assure you, lowering prices won't change that one iota..
as an example..
I have friends who own and run a CL.. (they also both work full time) ..
in 2008 they were charging £10 per night, inc leccy.. at the end of the financial year they were in deep debt with a HUGE electric bill.. which they had to borrow money to pay off.
In 2009 , they put the pitch fee up to £12 to try to cover the electric ... and still made a loss.
I advised them to fit meters.. and in 2011 they fitted 'pay to use' card meters.. rate was set at the current retail price of 14p per kwh..
they reduced the site fee to £10, and for the first time in years.. they not only broke even but made a profit.... and no big surprise electric bills.
At first there were the 'usual' complainers.. the ones who expect to heat a van 24/7 and have the site pay. .. but now almost everyone thinks it's a good idea.. those who don't.... don't come back.. but it must be popular as they are pretty much fully booked all year..
I'd be happy to stay there. They would have my support :thumb:
Perhaps I'm too naive eh? I did know a guy who boasted that he left a 3kw fan heater on in a tent for a week. I assumed that morons were a small percentage of the population.
That said it would take ten minutes to swap to a 6 amp MCB.
