There is a service station on the M5. Southbound. Maybe near Bristol or thereabouts.

Its big, glass and chrome with a park to its left.

Anyone have any idea which junction?!

Told you it was a long shot.

NomDePlume · 04/08/2006 18:53

gordano isanother possibilty

MamaG · 04/08/2006 18:53

possibly!

All I can remember is it has a shop on the left, the loos are upstairs (up an escalator, turn left)

There is a Red Hen upstairs and a burger king down (amongst other things)

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 04/08/2006 18:55

NomDePlume · 04/08/2006 18:55

Dunno, Gordano is first, then Micael Wood, then the next isn't til Taunton

MamaG · 04/08/2006 18:55

Does it sound like it could be Gordano from my description?

WigWamBam · 04/08/2006 18:56

Is it a modern service station or an older one? Could it be Strensham at J8?

NomDePlume · 04/08/2006 18:56

Why the Q, mamaG ?

NomDePlume · 04/08/2006 18:57

Glass and chrome sounds distinctly modern. More likely to be Gordano, I think.

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 04/08/2006 18:58

picture of gordano

MamaG · 04/08/2006 18:59

Oh thanks - its not that one !! Must be Michael Wood.

We're going to Somerset on hols in about, oh, 7 hours time and we've stopped at that one before - its a good one for the dog to have a pee and the kids to let off a bit of steam in the playground.

Michael Wood is north of bristol and Gordano is south.

DumbledoresGirl · 04/08/2006 19:09

This lists the lot

Not Bridgewater by any chance?

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 04/08/2006 19:15

ok bit further up the M5 you've got Frankley Services

DumbledoresGirl · 04/08/2006 19:20
