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:
“All comes united to th’ admiring eyes;”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“O thou undaunted daughter of desires!
By all thy dower of lights and fires;
By all the eagle in thee, all the dove;
By all thy lives and deaths of love;
By thy large draughts of intellectual day,
And by thy thirsts of love more large then they;
By all thy brim-fill’d Bowls of fierce desire,
By thy last Morning’s draught of liquid fire;
By the full kingdom of that final kiss
That seiz’d thy parting Soul, and seal’d thee his;”
—Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)
