The “■■■■ up the tyre” brigade [on the services] dont really care about anyone or anything, a bit like those who leave a drive in MaccyDs looking like a landfill site, because they cant be bothered to get out of their car, and put their mess in the MANY bins that are provided very near to where they are parked
WRONG!!
The ■■■■ up tyre brigade may just not have the duty time left to stop, park truck, lock truck, walk 20 mins to the building, fight through to the toilets, ■■■■, and return… a 45 min break for a ■■■■ is ok unless you’re runnin’ close to your 13 / 15 on duty time by time you get back and just need a ■■■■.
I will ■■■■ up my wheel in layby’s or services if I’m bursting and not due a break - whether it be because of a booking time or limited duty time or just because I want to get home. I don’t litter though, so they’re clearly not the same, I just value my limited life time more than that hike.
Im not saying Im an angel regarding having a crafty ■■■■■, but, its got to be a pretty desparate situation
And, where is this 20 min walk, which service area is that big ■■?, Ive been around most UK MSAs, and 20 mins is a long walk which I cant pin point
I do agree, and have often thought, that a toilet block on an HGV parking area would`nt go a miss, even if nothing else gets done
iagree with rob, get a ■■■■ bottle for emergancys. DIRTY GET
Most would agree that the Germans and Austrians are probably more hygenic than we, (pun) ((wee))
Not just once or twice I have seen 2 or 3 Germans jump out of the car on an autobahn service area, line up against the hedge and ■■■■, the big difference is they ■■■■ on the grass and then drive off. At least it soaks away, doesn’t smell like a urinal with a broken pipe and is totally accepted. The Polizei will nick you if you ■■■■ on the tarmac or brick setts.
I usually dont have a choice to stop at the services as its usually asked for by the passengers, and some of them want to stop at specific service like the regular run to Liverpool when they play at home (Keele service) or the once a year Wokingham - Lake Dsitrict where they want to stop at Norton Canes on the M6 toll road (admittedly I pay sod all there though )
well to be honest wil i think your wasting ya time with this meeting cuz nothing will change,ive been a tramper for 14 years and have seen nothing in this country to suggest that the msa operator give a monkey,s about us drivers.as i type this im at medway services been here since last night 20 quid got me parking and as theres no proper resturant my meal voucher got me a re heated sandwich and a cuppa coffee,the only saving grace was the shower was half decent.i parked here cuz the laybys and ind estates were full by the time i came out of tesco,s at snodland,id imagine most drivers only use msa,s because theyres no choice either times up or laybys or ind ests are full and lets be honest there aint many decent truckstops left in this country either
totally off subject, but related to peeing in MSA’s, in the urinals with the cone thing in the middle, does anyone else try to aim for the little hole on the top?

I don’t aim for the hole in the middle because I’m too busy making sure my tip doesn’t touch it!!!

I go in the sit down toilets myself, but I have to stand on tip toe as the water is so bloody cold
I would tell him well done, if you can get away with making loads of money this easy and legally then good on him, i for one will not be paying to park or for food as i am one of the few truckers with more than one brain cell.
I stopped at 5 different ones in France this week. Every, single one of them was immaculate…AND FREE!
Look at the way they are run, you money hungry ■■■. That’s what I would say to him.

Are you sure that’s why you use sit down toilets? I think you use the sit down toilets because you suffer small willy syndrome.
Don’t fret too much mate, sometimes having a massive ■■■■■ can be a right pain in the arse, especially for my wife
stvme2519:
why is it on some occasions the staff at your services put the showers are out of order when they are not …and i know for a fact they do this
I think it’s for the same reason why many of the big BP and Shell petrol stations in residential neighbourhoods put ‘Out of Order’
signs on their toilets… the toilets are working fine, the staff just can’t be arsed to clean them daily, so it saves them the
hassle of doing it and the toilets are then only used by their own staff!! Probably the same thing applies to the coffee machines
which always seem to be out of order when I go to these places!
La Jonquera truckstops are on the French/Spanish border in Catalan,featured in one of the UK trucking magazines,with reports if cab break ins and pimps and prostitutes roaming the parking areas,i only stop for fuel,if i have to leave the truck for a few minutes,you must keep an eye on it,lots of drivers wonder off for a shower to find the cab broken in to.Ten thousand trucks pass through the area a day.There is everything there for a long distance driver,casino,bingo,large american style buffets,eat what you want,laundrymats,hairdressers with 25% off for bald drivers,internet access,cheap ■■■■/booze.
They should re-name it Sofia,there is no need to speak Spanish there too.
Several brothels operate there,at Padrosa transport yard,which is a very large truckstop,which is further south,pay for parking for the hour,there is a strip joint at the bottom of Padrosas yard.
