Truck Stop - United Kingdom

United Kingdom

In the UK the term "truck stop" is not in common use and the equivalent stops are either transport cafes signposted simply as "Services", including many similar features to truck stops but also frequented by the majority of motorway traffic. They often include Travelodge accommodation, places to eat and newsagent shops such as WHSmith.

Service stations, as they are colloquially known, charge higher prices compared to equivalent stores on the high street.

Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:

    “So here they are, the dog-faced soldiers, the regulars, the fifty-cents-a-day professionals riding the outposts of the nation, from Fort Reno to Fort Apache, from Sheridan to Stark. They were all the same. Men in dirty-shirt blue and only a cold page in the history books to mark their passing. But wherever they rode and whatever they fought for, that place became the United States.”
    —Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)

    “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Mark 10:25.

    Jesus.
