Motorway service stations too expensive

Corley services are a classic rip-off.Crap food,lousy service,& indifferent staff.Cost us nearly £20 for two greasy half cold fry ups,and tea for two.Told them where to shove it.This is daylight robbery.These places should be boycotted.

I have just returned from London for a day out with my little girl. Travelling from Wiltshire on the M4 I pulled into Heston Services to use the toilet facilities, to my surprise no toilets in this service area, all out of order and told to use the garage toilet facilities.

At the services there were approximately 10 - 15 people in front of me, this is without doubt pathetic, what are Moto Services thinking of? One of the busiest stretches of mortorway in Europe, without a doubt a major lack of service.

I tried to call London Capital Radio, but could not get through, I have just emailed CEO of Moto to suggest he calls me. Anyone else witness this today?

your all sad, its bl00dy £4.80 it is not as if it is that much

they are charging through the nose because they are running a monopoly and when u have been driving four hours and are gasping for a cuppa (£9.95) and a quick bite to eat (£69.95) and a pee (£9.95), you need to use it. They have you over a barrel and your trousers down.

I suspect most people that eat at motorway services are people travelling on business so they claim the cost back on expenses.

If people didn't pay the inflated prices they'd either have to shut them or bring the prices down everyone knows food at the services is at inflated pices. I think about £10+ for a and I emphasise 'small' full english breakfeast. I've had to eat at services on occasion through neccessity but on the whole would rather starve than waste my money. Thats my choice and I wish more people would make it. As it is the restaurants in these places ae always rammed with the general public stuffing their faces with overpriced fast food then moaning about the cost. These places would double the cost of the mornng newspaper if the price wasn't printed on the front and they only sell crisps in enourmous packets whats all that about?

Had the pleasure of visiting M6 Corley services near Coventry recently.Cost £20 for two greasy half cold fry ups & a pot of tea for myself & my husband.More fool me.Took it back & complained.Told them where to shove it.This is nothing short of daylight robbery.This is yet just another typical example of rip-off Britain today.Dick Turpin is alive & well at Corley services.

"The bottom line is it's just another example of big companies who are able to monopolise a market."

No the bottom line is you're guessing this and haven't a clue really.

50% of a Motorway Service areas total revenues go to the government in one form or another. The Highways agency owns the land and charges a massive rent. These business's on top of that have to operate 24 hours which costs a lot of money when for most of this time very little money comes in.

Motorway service stations too expensive? Well shiver me timbers! I'd never have guessed it.

Here's little ole me thinking they were all as cheap as chips. Damn! Prices must've escalated whilst I was chained to a radiator in Tripoli for ten years.

Get a grip of life and stop crying in your lager and lime.

Sorry - it was Welcome Break at Charnock Richard that ripped me off. And can I add this was in the WHSmith shop, not the cafe.

Knutsford has M&S, which, although generally as expensive as all the others, has nicer food and more choice.

Welcome Break, Knutsford M6 - £1.40 for 500ml of water? Please!

And on the hottest day of the year, too. No wonder I saw a bloke filling his own bottle from the water tap at the petrol station.
