what a bloody rip-off! i just bought a dairy milk caramel, a ham and cheese sandwich and a bottle of coke, and it was £4.28 im well annoyed! we are in fleet services on the M3 just so you know, avoid it like the plague. at least we have the computers to play on for a bit. IM SO BORED!!!! i think i might go and play sega rally

[*Gone*]

[Sidders]

Wooley Edge is my favourite.

[Tom Holt]

I don't like Birch cos the bridge over the motorway looks like it could fall down any minute.

hes pretending to go to Bolton but actually never leaves his house.

i meant where have u been as in, how have u not noticed this before?

[Sidders]

I love service stations, I know they're extortionate, but I just find them reassuring. I always make an effort to stop at one if I have to make any trip along the motorway.

[Walter Sobchak]

Last night I stopped at Rownhams on M27 (on my way back from Quincyland), but only to use the loos, because I know how extortianate they are.
Stopped on the A31 to get a drink and munchies, about 10 miles up the road.
Bottle of coke at Rownhams = £1.25
Bottle of coke on A31 = 99p
and I think 99p is still expensive.

depends on the size of bottle, i am guessing the small ones?

[Walter Sobchak]

Yeh, small ones.. prefer bottles when driving, much easier than the cans.

I'm not sure which Motorway services I would call my favourite, but when I was a cabbie and we finished at around 4am, we used to pile into a 'bus' and drive out to Cartgate services on the A303, and have a full english, that was great....... oldskool services, as in portakabin in 'picnic area' fat bloke cooking, waitress outside having a fag, and tea in a bloody great mug!

[*Gone*]

westmorland services on the M6 are my favourite! only privatly owned motorway services apparently

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

isn't the one where Peter Kay filmed The Services on the M61 a privately owned one?

Sounds like that must be the same one my family used to stop at after driving all-night to get down to Cornwall for holidays. Lovely place that is. Aint been there for ages cos my family has found out that visiting Cornwall is a lot better than actually living here...

[David]

My favorite service station is Stirling services, closely followed by Stirling. Living in Shetland, a visit to a motorway service station is very exciting.

[David]

and that of course should read: "closely followed by Toddington".

Why cant we edit on this bit of the board?

[Lew]

something to do with learning to think before you post as Chris said once i think.

[David]

Its difficult when you get caught up in the excitement of a motorway service stations based thread.

[DC]

Wooley Edge is my favourite.

Been there. Great aint it.

[x-ema-x]

Wooley Edge is my favourite.

Yeah there are a load of them popping up now, not too bad, nice food on the motoway and at normal motorway prices

[Mike Redding]

Chievely services (M4 J13, A34 north Newbury)
"Quality service at a price you can afford"

In reality "Crap service at a price you can't afford"

Bloody vodafone....

[MK Chris]

I went in Corley services today. I generally stop there on any journey involving the M6 (although on the way back I wanted a pint so I didn't stop in order to get home and in the pub before last orders).

Living in Newport Pagnell somewhat takes the novelty away from motorway service stations... I always found it outrageous that KFCs in service stations charge for their little cartons of mayonnaise, whereas any other brance not in a service station gives them away.

[Quincy]

clacket lane on the m25 is always a pleasure to visit.

[tombugler]

My local KFC charges for sauce. 15p a time. Which I think is a real ripoff seeing as it's only 10p and McDonalds.

In fact, i'm going to start a protest.

Will post pics.

[H.O.P]

I know someone that used to take his own jar of Mayo into B-K as they wouldn't give you more than 2 sachets!!
