Missing Petrol stations

[bigpaul]

Petrol Stations that only do fuel and a small shop don't last these days they go out of business...a lot! not much money is made on a gallon of fuel as we know its mostly tax anyway, we lose more stations in the countryside than on the motorways or major roads...due to numbers or lack of, M ways have a captive audience after all. at one time you could go into a café/"greasy spoon" anywhere but these days its mostly Little Chef type places. there are lots of "picnic areas" you could use to rest up. however as I travel mostly on the back roads there are plenty of places for me to park up without other people about.
