@avtur3 Motorway services are awful, not just for professional drivers moving big stuff. Until a few years did 30k on the UK's motorways per annum, glad I don't have to use them anymore.
Free services on the continent are often little better, the ones where you pay 50 cts are commonly fine.
The economic divide in the UK between those who are working for a living and those who don't has grown considerably over the past decade. I recently found a payslip from the late naughties.
Hourly rate down by 40% in real pounds for the a much increased workload plus the reduction in value due to a decade of inflation, another 25% over the same period.
The next assault on income from work is being lined up in the wings, increase in National Insurance proposed.
Suppose the subsidy for big employers paying their staff as little as possibly needs to come from somewhere.
