Description
We've all had to break a motorway journey, whether it is for petrol, food or to go to the loo. Yet, many of us will hesitate before taking the slip-road to a service area for fears about the qualit...y and the price of the food on offer, or even the state of the loos. The big motorway service operators say the industry is changing for the better - but are the perils of the motorway pit-stop really a thing of the past? Horror stories of broken toilets, poor value-for-money and bad food abound.
