Free parking at Welford truckstop (A14 J1)

Yes thats right you heared! free parking at Welford T/S
well it was for me any road
Pulled in there at 23.15 pitch black dark
Saw no where to park as it looked full so had a walk round
saw a caravan in the corner (looked like the security man) but the light was in but no one was in so carried on walking around the site
Got to the back end and found somewhere to park; sill no sing of the security guard though
So parked up and went into the shower block for a wash
it was a porter cabin weighting to be bull-dozed down with a sledge-hammer
But at leat it was open all the time and all though it was cold in there the pressure was not great but the shower water was actully was hot!
Then onto the toilet block which has a sing up in there saying “before you bed down for the night please make sure you have payed for your parking as we would hate to wake you”
Like where would you like me to pay sir?

Any road fresh as a pink panthers bottom back to my cab to carry out my domestic duites for a couple of hours before I bedded down
Had my light on with the curtain open and still no sing of the guard
(At least my light was on but someone was in)
So time to truckup for the night and woke up at 8.30 and nearly all the trucks where gone and no stickers on my windscreen demanding a ransum
So wondered off to the toilet and low and behold in the far yonder I could see a bomb fire inside an oil drum next to a caravan with a man in a high viz winter jacket stood next to it rubbing his hands trying to keep warm
So I plodded on as though nothing had happened
Off I went back in my cab and drove off never to be seen again :grimacing: :grimacing: :grimacing:

So to sum it all up
Another truck stop that charge for parking (or at least try to) and offer no over night security
But there are planty of there little st holes about that charge the same rates as the crendel la crem (red lion, stock yard, A1 juntion29) but dont offer the same facilitys or even secure parking

So next time Im passing the fox inn after kicking out time (10.30 :open_mouth: LOL) think I will just park up there anyroad as the shower/ toilet block is allways open
As they dont have a security guard ever
But she did say (when bowsting aboout it at the bar) they had a spanish bread rock viller bull dog thingy that beat up 3 police men)
All I can say is shame the dog was asleep in there the same time I was sleeping in my cab otherwise breakfast would be off
Ow year fogot they dont do breakfasts do they

TATA TAR happy trucking

Oh Yes We Heared , all right !!
Pitch black dark , as opposed to pitch black light :laughing: :laughing:
The light was in , but no one was in , more commonly known as " The light was ON, but no one was in " , a very apt phrase in the circumstances , no doubt appreciated by some :wink: :wink:
A Porter Cabin , as in where the chaps who carry your belongings hang out , or somewhere to go to say that well known phrase from a sci fi programme
" BEAM ME UP … , name of you choice :laughing: :wink:
About to be bulldozed with a sledgehammer ? An interesting concept , and no doubt somewhat entertaining to watch !!!
A BOMB FIRE , you say , and a bloke standing next to it , had he met you & lost the will to live ? :wink: :laughing:
Could you provide any pictures of this Spanish Bread Rock Viller Bull Dog Thingy , sounds a bit different . It BEAT UP three Policeman , & then you go on to say they charge you to park & have no security . Sounds like the dog , whatever he is does a pretty good job , all on his own .

Sounds like theft to me…

No singing security guard with a bread dog,no facilities, sign says payed but should be paid,happy trucking.

whilst i happen to think that MC Thakaray is on the Boss & Drive wind up route it does amaze me that in a profession which isnt renowned for having degree educated people, how quickly people are to take the ■■■■ out of people who cant spell on here.

if you get the gist what difference does it make?

one of the best things on here is trying to work out what immigrant is on about!

^^^ +1
But please use capital letters at the start of a new sentence. :wink:

That’s another truckstop you have moaned about the facility’s at and not paid for the use of . Mabey if every one paid at theses places they may be able to afford to keep the place in good order.

Lol :laughing: OP made me laugh. :grimacing:

Yes you are absolutly right
How wrong and rude of me to do such a thing I mean as not to stick me head in the door of the cafe that morning and say hi! this is what I think of your place and this is what I have done
Even though I was no a hungery pit bull

Sorry old fruit its up to you to clear your own conscience, contact them yourself. I don’t tell tales.
Petty theft at best, or perhaps just breach of contract, who knows. One things for sure you can’t be trusted. :wink:

Hang on its a company account that doesn’t cost you a penny, it just gets worse.

To be fair the facilities ain’t that great at Welford but their good enough for a lot of drivers like me who support it. Get there before 8pm and the foods tasty / healthy and low fat as theres so much grease on it that its in one end out the other in the blink of a ringpiece.

Proof and evidence that lorry drivers are thick as planks and should have studied harder at school.
They drive with hiviz on, how thick is that ?
