Pearbuyerbell Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 As most of you will know Scotland has nine bona fide, big balls service stations. People laugh at me when I say we've got nine cornerstones to our road networks, but I'm absolutely bingo-bang-on right. Perhaps you've stopped off for a wimpy or Burger King? Perhaps you've bought a chewy toothbrush and quelled your enamel issues? Perhaps you've bought the very best of Chris de Burgh? Perhaps you've paid £1.31 per litre of fuel and thought that's only overpriced by 20%? Perhaps you've bought some travel sweets for £2, which you'll sold for cocaine for a 70000% mark up. I fucking love driving a motor-driven car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I know you're a Kia Ceed owner, but what's your opinion on the Seat Mii? It's between that and the Skoda Citigo right now for this metropolitan professional (currently earning a cool 5 figure salary). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venti Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Voted for Harthill purely if I need a pish driving to Edinburgh. (Not paying £8-10 for a Whopper meal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Bothwell Services now has an entire lane to itself south of the M73 Junction. I don't care about the contents within, it's got it's own off ramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Imagine how fucking stupid you would have to be to visit a service station in a small country such as Scotland. A modicum of internet savvy will direct you to the nearest supermarket chain with cheaper fuel and snacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland is only a tiny bit smaller than England*, yet England has hundreds of more service stations. Scotland is a medium sized country. * you got my SNP supporting hunches up there Zenbo. You're a good egg though, as many fife based simpletons are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I voted for Kinross, but then I remembered that the correct answer is actually Gretna Green. Apologies for that oversight. The finest service station in the UK is Woodall in South Yorkshire. That is just a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's it great to be on the tarmac with a motorised vehicle? Good suggestion, I've not ruled the AYGO out quite just yet. My Dad's currently trying to convince me to go for the Hyundai i10 because it rated 5/5 in WhatCar magazine. I took one for a test drive and personally would give it 3/5 - bland. I've actually held a full uk driving license with no restrictions for a number of years now and certainly wouldn't go back unless forced to through medical reasons.

I haven't been to Knutsford Services before. I've just searched it now - looks like a must visit. I'll have to put it high up the agenda for when I'm next in Cheshire. We might well need a UK-wide thread. Service stations take plenty criticism from the ignorant amongst us, but I, for one, wholly appreciate their existence.

Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 And don't forget Truckhaven. It's got a mass grave for truckers to deposit murdered prostitutes round the back. M6 J35. Very conveniant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The feeling that you can get up in the morning - drive 15 miles - and get a full breakfast for less than £9 is why I awake with morning wood. They're always fine with unlimited butter.

invergowrie arab Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Gretna has a maze. If you do have a UK wide one can you have a worst one too so I can vote for Scotch Corner which takes about an hour to get out of due to a regular t junction onto an A rd instead of the more traffic friendly on and off ramp.
