Favorite Routiers and other European Truckstops

I nearly found a good truck stop in Blighty once. It was just after they started running Marks & Sparks shops in motorway service areas. Bingo! At last, I thought, the Brits have finally realised that lorry drivers want high-quality food and safe parking. Then I realised that the cost of a quality sandwich and overnight parking was 10 times the cost of a full, happy, sociable restaurant meal with a bottle of wine and secure overnight parking in France. What a load of bl88x Great Britain has been for truckers for as long as any of us can remember! Yours cynically, Robert.
