I was reading the article on the best motorway services:

Reasonably priced quality fast food, I often stop there of an evening and bolt down a cheeseburger to keep me going (79p VFM) and take a choc shake with me, sits in a dash cup holder which lasts me until I exit at Burnham.
McDs charge the same on the High St or in a captive environment like the services, Burger King on the other hand charge a fortune in their m/way restaurants.

Motorway services are hateful places by and large, the only one I like is Exeter services on the M5.

What concerned me more was how he had got himself to a service station on the M6.

Probably arrived in a late-model 'prestige make' car that he had bought for cash a few days earlier. You wouldn't want him soiling the white hide seats would you?
