Clever guys. They've been going a long time and great live.

I’m really disappointed that the advert that came up at the end wasn’t Aldi

Best UK service station stand up gag

He is, of course, wrong - it's Tebay Services on the M6...

I think you mean Gloucester Southbound on the M5

Not as good as their Tebay services imo (they're the same company)

I’m as fascinated by this as I am terrified…..

Gloucester Northbound too. Nice looking but the car park is a bit cramped, it looks like Tellytubbyland and the T-bone steaks in the shop made me drool but were about £26 each a decade ago.

Tebay is clearly the GOAT services.

My issue with Gloucester Services is that it's in the wrong place for me. Southbound is 2.5 miles from my house as the crow flies but a 17 mile round trip because I'd have to drive to Jnc 12 and up to 11a. I never drive past!

Never paid attention to services, can't even name them. Literally just stop to piss and go. There was one in the midlands recently which had a turd in the urinal, which considering how busy motorway services are, made me wonder how it was pulled off.

I wonder if the sidecar could be specced with a moving sidecar seat, to balance the rider and pillion?
I like folding caravans but I haven't seen one yet like a folding box trailer I saw, designed to store on its tail end against a wall to take up less space.

The music fits perfectly
If it were Ruskie Garage54 (?) they'd do a durability test

It's in Portuguese but I think you can all understand what's happening...

Posting for awareness. I didn't get this one right (in that I've always assumed I'm good to start moving at a Zebra Crossing once someone crossing had moved out of my direct path). Not sure if you'd ever be pulled up on this, but good to know.....

Interesting...

But my instructor drilled me about Zebra Crossing rules so I've always left the pedestrian fully cross before proceeding.
