Chas:
I know that most (99.9%) in an area which is loosely the Notts/Derby’s/Leic’s border area are Gangster controlled. I know that most (99.9%) of the males* who staff these establishments are considered to be unemployable in virtually any other capacity.
I have very little reason to believe it’s any differant in any other part of the country.
Next time anyone orders food from these people, have a bit of fun & ask them why they’re working here.
*P.S. Most (99.9%) of the wimmin are ex massage parlour, there comes a time when they just get too old for it. Next time ‘Big Bertha’ wipes your slice under her armpits 'cos you expressed a preferance for butter, remember that a few short years ago, some trucker paid good money to be relieved of something other than hunger.
Were you sniffing glue before writing that? Never heard so much rubbish ever!!! I’ll give you it was funny reading it tho! Gangster controlled! Funny as [zb]!
Funny you should say that. Stopped for breakfast in a layby years ago,
when they were still building the M40 (I know I’m old) This git big Merc or similar pulled up, bruiser got out, came hair coat, the full works. Orders a cup of tea and was handed a huge wad of cash with it. Can’t even remember if it was a bloke or a woman in the T van but am fairly sure they weren’t ex ■■■ trade and would be very surprised if it wasn’t protection.

Never had a bad Mcd’s Or Bk. I trust the food with them, and I have used them all over Europe. Can’t be bad!
Mcd’s only use prime cuts of beef, as for these layby burgers, it would all be Macro muck, head meat and tongue, i stick to bacon.
Prime cuts of beef? From McDs? I somehow doubt that, a McD burger is grey before it’s cooked, yet when I buy beef from a butcher it’s red!
Burgers and sausages are made from the crap they steam clean off the bones when they’ve finished making real cuts of meat, pies and pasties are made from the crap they sweep up off the floor of the burger factories and kebabs are made from the crap they strain out of the drains at pie and pastie factories, strangely enough I Iove a kebab, second fave is a nice meat pie and last but by no means least is a Big Mac
I breed pedigree Charolais cattle and a felow breeder is a ‘scout with clout’ for Mcd’s, they only use prime cuts i assure you.
Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I’m stopped in a layby on the A417 near Wantage, right beside the T Coli van as there weren’t any other spaces. Had a few evil eyes I presume, because I’ve not bought anything. Did get out and have a ■■■■ in a puddle though, out of sight and I guess they didn’t hear anything over the noise of customers talking bull excrement and their sodding generator.
I had this parked opposite my house, opened on a friday morning, i’d had him closed by tuesday dinnertime. made my house stink of burnt onions. we had a rather loud and in depth discussion on the legalities of the positioning of burger vans
RIPPER:
I am in the fortunate position of being able to take my truck home but in the unfortunate position of having a weight limit in the village where i live so i park my truck for the weekend in a very well known layby on the A228 near Snodland.
One friday evening i pulled in to find only one space left right opposite where the tea van parks.
At this point i would like to point out that the owner of said tea van has “no parking” marked in the road which appears to have been painted on the road by the local council.
Now i have been using this layby for about 6 years without a problem and regularly bought food from him.
This particular weekend i was loaded for a delivery on monday and being i fridge driver the fridge was running as i was loaded with frozen chips. (and all you drivers who want to comment on fridges running at night…thats for another topic)
When i got back to my truck on sunday night i found a note on my windscreen telling me not to park there again
He said the racket from my fridge gave him a headache all weekend (he only opens briefly on a saturday morning)
I now make a point of not buying anything off the ■■■■■■…laybys are there for the benefit of tired drivers be they car or truck…and if any of you know the layby i am on about there is usually plenty of room.
As a post script…i did not know they pay so much to the council to use these laybys…i may be a little more sympathetic in future…but not if they get “arsey”

A little while ago, one of our 4wheelers broke a spring in Burford and stopped in the layby near the school to wait for a fitter to attend; This layby has a kebab van in it that serves elephant meat for breakfast, and said suntanned vendor had a go at our driver for parking there and not buying anything (I also got moaned at a few years back for doing the same thing.) Has anyone else experienced something similar with these disease merchants when they haven’t bought anything? I’ve had evil looks off others in Oxfordshire and wondered if it was limited to just around here?
I’m not one for causing a row, but that guy would of got told where to go. Think they own them laybys tossers! Be alrite if the food was any good. The ones that are decent are always hidden away.
+1,i would have asked if he owned said lay by and when he replied no as he would I would have replied go forth and multiply,actually having said that I got into a row with some bloke on a road,he pulled up beside me and started ranting about me parking there,when I said whats up do you own the fxxxxxg road then,he replied yes I do,turns out it was his private road leading to his own club,fair play to him though he did help me with directions afterwards

A few years ago I was a night man, and you wanna see their faces when you pull the curtains round at 7am! Only one bloke ever said anything, but it was more a polite enquiry than a rant, and he sighed and sloped off after I explained that the truck wasn’t moving. I felt quite sorry for him so I bought a breakfast. I was starving.
I used to park up in a layby near leyton buzzard and the guy from the van came up to me and said it was for customers only,told him to do one as it was a public place .The next day i thought i would have some fun, pulled in to the layby got out the cab and sat on the grass bank and pulled out a pack lunch and started to eat it.Well he went mental but he could do nothing as the old bill were there and told him to shut up.I did this for a week before i bored.
I remember the old guy with the tea wagon in the layby on the A20 at Wrotham Heath, was abusive and refused to serve artic drivers because they took up too much space in ‘his layby’. A few used to retaliate by parking up and pulling the curtains right in front of his tea wagon, so funny going past and seeing him sitting there fuming behind the counter, face like a slapped bum
Park in the first layby on the A13 from the M25 heading into London and watch the bloke there go ape. He comes braying on your door at 5am telling you to shift as it’s apparently “his” layby and no-one else is allowed to park there unless you’re buying.
and would be very surprised if it wasn’t protection.
they will eat fine, better than AA eyes and limo fanny
