The main thing with truckstops is them being where you want / need to be stopping.
Sure, we’ll all do our best to avoid a particularly bad one, and will all do our best to try and stop at one we know gives a little extra such as free beer with your parking or whatever, but at the end of the day, most people don’t night out in the same area everynight, so things such as a ‘pool team’ aren’t going to matter to 99% of drivers.
I know a few that do stay at the same truckstop most nights, but they’re the exception rather than the rule.
Penrith is one of the best IMO good clean showers, good grub and good staff who are friendly 
Is that Jenkinsons? Stopped there once, loads of room & most importantly for me it’s secure!
Last thing I need is worrying half the night about some toe rag slashing my curtains or going at the diesel tank.
The rest is frosting.
PS What’s a “drivers club”? Sounded a bit gay to me so I ticked no.

It could do with levelling.
We change over in there most nights and it is one off the best friendly helpful staff good grub but really busy for parking on a Friday night as Jenkinsons fleet is parked there for the weekend and the wagons are constantly moving to get taking in for washing not had any problems with the surface but could be smoother down the bottom end but its in constant use with the changeovers screwing trailers round but compared to Lockerbie Truckstop where you would think twice going in there with a tipper some night its a billiard table lol!

If you get shower 4 or 6 and not parking can I have it cheaper cos there smaller!! 
used to stop in here nightly or changeovers, always found it a pretty good enough place to stop compared to some of the guff in this country.
staff were always good to chat to aswell and having the security guys there is good especially when your sleeping in a corner on your own waiting for a changeover.
Well it’s probably one of the most secure in the country as he keeps all his own tackle in there, how much is it anyways? I can’t remember.

That’s what ear plugs are for
They could maybe have a section clearly marked as you enter for fridges to park or even electric hook ups which they could charge a fee for which would be competition for fridge drivers as long as it weren’t a rip off.

Keyboard broken? O key seems to be stuck. 
A survey this seems more like a commercial advert for Penrith truckstop to me!
I suppose they must have parted with a few quid
