I (and everyone else) are much more prone to post <rant> than <praise> ... so here for a change is one of the latter. An early start this morning - 04:45 from home - and a stop at 09:00 on the motorway north at Tebay. Breakfast, email check, and I'll be carrying on in a few minutes. As service areas go, I prefer this one. I REALLY prefer it. Why?
• Setting - see picture of breakfast table!
• Not sales-pushy - you can get to the loo without going past all the trade stands
• Staff who have a smile not a scowl
• usually cleaner, quite spacious
• easy to get online (now with free Wifi, although I happen to be on mobile broadband at the moment
