Fuck off tebay is the best.
There is a motorway service station scoring 100%? That’s a failure in my book, surely the whole point of motorway services is to get income off a captive market for as little effort as possible.
I’ve actually chosen to go to Skelton lake services on the M1, when I live nearby.
To be fair. I was amazed how nice the Moto one in Ruby on M6 was.
I’m surprised that even the worst services have an 80% approval rating. That’s not half bad.
Service stations have really improved over the last 10-20 years. I remember some really grotty ones but it’s been ages since I’ve been to one that wasn’t at least OK.
I never saw much wrong with Hartshead Moor, if I’ve got a major gripe about any motorway services it’s having to drive too far to get to them after leaving the motorway and ones where they make you walk past all their shops to get to the toilet, which just annoys me and is utterly selfish to the disabled and OAPs
