Land Of The AutoBurger
Some of my favourite places in the world are motorway services in the UK. I like that they have no romance to them. They are simply for taking a piss, having a terrible cup of tea, and maybe playing Sega Rally. The physiological essentials of life.

I was, more relevantly, delighted to discover this Motorway services information and review website.
I particularly like that they have a gallery:

At last. I thought I was the only one who appreciated the bland, practical charm of service stations. I prefer Silent Scope if they have it, though.
