Service Stations


Recommended Posts

ie the ones on the motorway, particularly in England.  I used to love a service station. Always meant you were on your hols.Sti;; quite partial to one and I love Tebay in particular although its a bit up its own arse.

 

My abiding memory of ones from the 80s and 90s is the graffiti on the awful toilets offering out anal or cock sucking services with landline numbers against them.

There was a time they were quite luxurious - the restaurants had those long, curving shelves to slide your tray along as you perused all the stuff.

 

Always lots of choice and loads of staff to help.

 

There was often a bridge right over the 2 motorway carriages, fun for kids to run across / look down at the traffic.

 

Then they always had a good arcade section, great fun from the golden age of video games. Operation Wolf, Golden Axe, Sega Rally etc. Loads of brilliant games.

 

And there was always a generously stocked john menzies / wh smith, which would yield a Commando comic or similar for the onward journey.

 

The modern versions are pretty poor. A poxy Burger King or Costa Coffee, and a scabby toilet. The attached petrol station is as good as it gets for shopping.

 

No amazing array of arcade games, just one of those shitty rigged games where you are supposed to grab a cuddly toy with a descending claw.

 

The concept is definitely past its best.

 

Only one I have visited in recent years is Annandale Water (which has nice grounds if its dry to go outside) - handily placed to divide the Glasgow-Newcastle journey when going for the ferry.

(Also reminds me of working in Annan - nearly 20 yrs ago - yikes!)

I’ve always wanted to be a fly on the wall of an American family landing in the UK, hiring a car and, coming from the land of the free, the virtually free fuel and the might as well be free open griddle steak and salad a plenty diners, pull into one of the motorway stations you mention. The next 20 miles conversation would be absolutely magic.

 

Honey, I think we may need a second mortgage to get home...

Obviously to much of an English mink to afford a decent meal.

 

Just pack your jam sandwiches with you next time and sit in a lay-by.

English mink?! You are aware that folk can live outside their own country?

Will you go and get your hole or something,or have a wank,and leave the decent chat to the grown ups.

Off you pop...

 

And I think it should be “too” much of an English mink??

Go tell us about how you shagged your “younger” bird in the little chef toilets with a contraband picnic bar in her anus and your cock tail sausage in her pringles tube.

 

Scum.

Various items over the years.

 

Nice buzz saving 2.87 off a 150 quid shop.

A book every time I’m in an airport from WHSmith. Easy. Pay for three bags of crisps (grab bag size three for £3) at self service and walk out with crisps and book.

 

No shame in that. WHSmith prices are a scandal.
