2-4-6-8 Motorway.

I like Motorway Service stations!
It probably goes back to my youth when we frequented one late at night for coffee and the Pinball machines as there was nothing else open late at night. Also the sight of them being full of the 'Blue Family' on Wembley trips was an unforgettable sight as was it for the Charity Shield in 1984 when both Reds and Blues mingled together, a lot from the same coaches.

I ate 3 Krispy Kreme doughnuts at South Mimms services on Tuesday

I find them horrible, daylight robbery centres where the only necessity is a toilet on a long drive.

Coffee is priced like liquid gold from George Clooney's personal Nespresso machine and petrol priced like malt whisky.

At least Dik Turpin wore a mask!

*Irritated of Liverpool.

I have spent far too many hours in them over the years. Not a fan.

Their only redeeming feature is that you can still buy Fruit Gums in a box at some of them. Which is basically like crack cocaine to me. Love them, but once opened, I will eat the whole lot in on go.

Then feel a bit poorly.

Rip off merchants. Just like Alton Towers for some reason they seem to think they can charge about 30% more for anything and everything.

Tom Robinson's version of Pinball Wizard was my favourite.
Speaking of which, a glass of Old Tom at a motorway service station would be nice.

Terrible soulless places.

I have long thought about creating a website which offers alternative stopping locations for cheaper petrol and better scran within a mile of each motorway junction. I reckon it could be a winner.

That one just into the lakes with fee farm shop is a good'ne (north bound that is, slightly disappointing south bound).

Watford gap is underrated too.

Burtonwood is one us Liverpool based blues probably frequent very rarely but it did give birth to the single best driving game ever... Drunk by Burtonwood. Rules are pretty obvious. Make sure you don't forget to start though otherwise you'll end up shoting black sambuca at ten in the morning with a long drive to Scotland ahead of you.

Always thought the M58 was a bit creepy

Route 66 for me. From Chicago to L.A. - 3000 miles all the way.

I steal 1 out of every 3 sandwiches from service stations to bring the cost down to "normal" levels. Same at airports.

Worst motorway is easily the M4.

1) Running east west means more often than not you are driving directly into the sun, or have it blazing into your rearview mirror.
2) Massive gaps between junctions make it a soul destroying slog, makes it really hard to gauge your progress.
3) It passes too close to Reading for my liking
4) Has lots of blind summits which make all the douchebags brake hard just before the peak, even when there's no traffic around for them to crash into.

You should get a car with an odometer.
