Motorway services

[Shad]

I stopped at the Chievely (sp?) M4 services last night on my way home as I was dying of thirst. Anyway, I grabbed a pound coin and just in case a 10p as well, thinking that will be plenty and I might get some chocolate as well.

I think I must have forgotten just how expensive service stations are - the only drink I could buy for my £1.10 was a tiny 330ml bottle of Ribena (sp again?)! Everything else was £1.19 or over!

It's an absolute outrage if you ask me, the mark up on just one bottle of Coke must be at least double the value! Even a bottle of water was £1.29.

thing is, people will pay this as the next service station that is open at silly o'clock in the morning on a motorway is about 40 mile down the road, the prices are bad but people will always pay it :/

I'd rather die of thirst than buy anything from a moterway service station!

Seems like you need http://www.offmotorway.com/ and http://www.5minutesaway.co.uk/ although these do need expanding to cover things like newsagents for snacks/drinks etc
