Snack vans thinking they own the layby

Never use these places anyway.
At some point during the day they’ll need to go to the toilet.
A ■■■■■ is an easy wash your hands job but a crap is something else.
Nah.

Dangerous banging on a rig with curtains drawn… that’s like waking up the Kraken and far play if the driver gave Mr Burger man a gob full of abuse… so would I if I had been asleep… and if he’d started making a noise on purpose Id of just kicked over the truck and rev’d the engine for a while… gas the ■■■■■■ out on my exhaust fumes…lol… if I found myself blocked in, then hang on for the ride and just relocate his burger van… :smiling_imp: oh how I love chains

In general terms if you park in a lay-by, the council or police may move you on. In most areas it is illegal to trade in a lay-by. Some authorities ignore this fact but we know from our members’ feedback that increasingly councils are moving street traders on, especially on ‘A’ roads. The police are the only people empowered to move you on. Their first action will always be to ‘ask’ you to move. If you don’t, they have the power to enforce it. Be advised that if you are asked to move, it’s wise to do so as persistence will not help your case, and any abuse will certainly weaken it. However, on the positive side, the police are usually very polite and can be most helpful. They may even suggest another area that you might well be able to trade from, without being a traffic hazard.

Street trading means the exposing or offering articles for sale on roads, pavements and other areas to which the public have unrestricted access without payment. The law applies equally to public and private land.

Most councils have street trading control areas where street trading is prohibited.

So unless the layby is on private property and has a letter to prove his consent to then laybys are free for all to park, not trade…

I choose to avoid these vans like the plague , I used one once years ago and the thing that put me off was when the bloke asked could I just watch his van while him and his bog roll went for a walk in the trees .
I know everyone gets caught short but you have to ask what do these people do everyday .

Juddian:
Yep, you can let as all know exactly where the ignorant little bully sells his greasy muck, or what name it goes under, and we’ll avoid him like the plague.

Always another way to skin a cat.

Amen.

Gentle knock & a polite enquiry & I’ll move if legal & possible.

Hammer the door & be arsey & it’s a FU from me.

I never buy anything from them and park right in front of them to , pull out my lunch from my bag, coffee and have it all in front of them.
These parasites should be removed from the lay bys they occupy taking valuable space which could be used by other lorry drivers.
The sooner all lorry drivers stop supporting them buying their disgusting food, the sooner they disappear for good.

Well, steady on, am I the only one partial to a cheeky bacon & egg barm?

OllieNotts:
On the other side of the coin I was parked on progress road in cov last week, woke up surrounded by cars as usual despite not hearing a thing :smiley:
Anyway this lovely lady had parked her snap wagon right up to the front of my cab even though there was no need, being polite I got out and had a look at the 2 foot gap behind a car had left me and she came over and said she’ll move when I’m ready just beep the horn she was waiting for my space but didn’t want to wake me up.
On another day I’ll stop and buy something just for the pleasant manner she had.

Aye, the right way. I’d have bought a sandwich off her just for being polite.

I know this one from years back, had a sausage and egg sarny once and it went through me like poop through a goose, spent all day tightly puckered up and scared to cough- which was difficult as I was a heavy smoker back then.

I would have been tempted to call the police and say I’m being threatened by a man with a knife (probably one or two in his snap wagon), watered down red sauce and an offensive sausage.

I will partake in a nice bacon & egg butty + brown sauce if theres a lady cooking it though, mainly because theres something very odd about a man cooking my breakfast, also don’t mind where a ladies fingers have been if shes pretty enough. I would probably pay more if she had been to the loo prior to fulfilling my order.

This is why when I haven’t got any lunch with me I go get a bacon and egg first thing in the morning. That way chances are it’s too early for them to do a dump

They were all in different countries (mainly America) they don’t give a ■■■■ over there.

Very very rare I use snack vans in lay-bys but on the times i have I always look at the state of the van first and the car that’s pulling it.
The state of some I see when just driving past is disgraceful…
Don’t get me wrong some are very clean and ok but theses seem to be the minority…

Daytrunker:

ring environmental health tell em you had the trots after eating his muck, and he had raw sausages on the same grill as cooked ones next to each other soon be round to screw him about.

So your saying it,s ok to lie and make false accusations and waste the
taxpayers money on a whim for revenge. :unamused:

better still . arrange a group meeting using up the whole laybay and starting late morning :grimacing:

did that years ago when we would run 5 or 6 of us to Kemsley on a Monday morning, after a few weeks of this the guy backed down and apologised to little Gord…

You like the hairy fish pie?

In some counties,the snack vans pay a licence to operate in certain lay by’s. This applies in Herefordshire. I think its about £2,500 a year for the licence, plus they are inspected and have to display their hygiene certificates.

Steve66:
Never use these places anyway as I have to ring and ask for permission to have a break. Unless my Wonga financed wagon is broke down in which case, I’ll order a pube and arse cress sarnie.

(Fixed quote for you :laughing: )

Or in Oxfordshire Ahmed simply copies and pastes one and prints it off, quoting “Best Kebab in Oxfud.” :laughing:
