Take out a mortgage
If you want to buy food or a drink at many of Britain's motorway service areas, bring lots of money becasuse it aint cheap. What's the most expensive service station you have come across on your travels?

Millions of people drive on British motorways every day and being one of these people I'm sick and fed up of being ripped off when I stop at a service station for a break and something to eat.

| 08-1-2010 | More people would leave the motorway and go to somewhere decent to eat it would be good if cafes and pubs etc were to advertise nationally that they are just off the motorway and provide a small map I know I would prefer not to eat in a motorway cafe we take something with us I can't stand over...more | GM |
| 23-9-2009 | I agree totally with your comments however, I run a business (a pub) just off the motorway and I encourage people travelling to use my facilities (not alcohol for drivers but food and other drinks) but it is difficult to publicise my offering as people are coming from hundreds of miles away thats w...more | Edward Skinner |
| 24-8-2009 | It just amazes me how many people say : "Plastic cup 0.05p, spoonful of instant coffee powder 0.5p, sachet of milk 1p, sachet of sugar 1p, 2 slices of bread 3p, blob of butter 2p, spoonful of jam 1p, so why the hell must I pay £2.50 for a coffee and two slices of toast when it costs less ...more | MikeP |
| 24-8-2009 | Referring to the above subject, I think £3.0 for a sandwich and a big cup of coffee is not bad after a good long drive. One must not forget that companies on the motorway have to make a living, rent, taxes, staff, rates etc. Customers are always oblivious of the fact that expenses are involved...more | The Plain Truth |

| 05-8-2009 | For many years I had a job that entailed driving hundreds of miles a week, and sometimes much of the distance was covered via motorways, leaving home at 6 in the morning and returning in the evening and yet by planning ahead I had little need of motorway services.

| 05-8-2009 | Very clever Bobby Carrot, very clever indeed. Your parents must be so proud. I'm going to have a look for a gripe from some poor service-station worker who can't understand that there is still a retard out there who doesn't know how to properly use a toilet. Also you have successfully p...more | Ozzie-Welshman |
| 03-8-2009 | I always get a sense of satisfaction at motorway services by pissing on the floor!
The staff are useless too I suspect they only work there because they failed the intelligence test for Mcdonalds. | Bobby Carrot |
| 19-6-2009 | 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. | Roadrunner |
| 14-4-2009 | 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 ...more | Nick D |

| 19-2-2009 | 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. | Guerbberchille |
