Tyneside

I remember when the Services at Washington first opened, it had a dedicated transport cafe which was good news, but!! everything was pre-packed in machines and all the cutlery, plates, cups and saucers were disposable plastic rubbish, this was supposed to save on staff and time. Needless to it wasn’t long before it all changed to regular utensils! I don’t think it was ever successful as a transport cafe. Regards Kev.

Yes Kev I remember the set up pick what you wanted then pop it into a Infrared Zapatype of now what we call a micro wave oven, The eggs came out like a piece of caked caccy in my book, The bacon didnt taste of anything I never wehnt back for anything to eat, But I did have a ■■■■■ in their nice smelling netties, :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: , Regards Larry.
