Just back from a four day break doing touristy things in the UK. During that time we did a lot of motorway driving and although we planned to stop in towns/eat at our destination, sometimes traffic got the better of us and we had to stop as the DCs (4 & 3) are used to eating at relatively fixed times and were getting cranky.
Now I am not a food fascist by any means. I enjoy treats as much as the next person (as the size of my arse will attest), but the choices available left a lot to be desired. The outlets I saw available across 3 services were as follows: Burger King, Greggs, KFC, Subway, WH Smith (crisps and sweets galore), Starbucks and the best of a bad lot, M&S simply food. I should add that every single one of these service stations had a Krispy Kreme self service point.
Now I know you can get a salad in M&S (though obviously the area by the tills was all Percy Pigs and praline bars), but surely there should be somewhere you can get something warming, filling and healthy, like soup? Even something like a Leon would be a welcome break (see what I did there?) from chips, burgers and more chips?
So, AIBU to think that with obesity rates on the rise there should be a bit more choice?
