Cannot remember the last time I saw a service station look like that or be so appreciated. Well done. Trucking can be a hard life, I’m pleased for them.

No room after 6pm most nights if you don't book ahead but otherwise very good

I would have liked the interviewer to talk to some Europeans too.

Is it because it's useful for illegal economic immigrants to use?🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤔

You get some incredible grub at truck stops, and its usually brilliantly priced.

You should try going in there after 7pm and asking the same questions. Ask to see the Fire risk assessment when you see 150 trucks wall to wall in there. One burns, we all burn. Maybe ask why it still costs you 8 pounds for the curry even with the 10 pound voucher applied. If you don't have SNAP parking then easy 50 quid for parking and a meal. I've been ill the next day from the food in there. Absolute rip off. And as for driver shortages hahahahahaaa trust me it's not down to there being not more places like the Red Lion hahaha try minimum wage, long hours, crime and fuel theft, massive toll charges, London charges companies wanted 2 or more years experience before letting newly pass drivers a chance.

We kept the country running during the pandemic "lest we forget" and now we get slapped in the face with minimum wage 😢 Thanks for nothing.

[@_bav]

In general, yes, their truck stops are MUCH better than the UK's - though The Red Lion one is better yet... apparently. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
