Naming and shaming

That works out at nearly £50 per kilo making it one of the most expensive cheeses in the world!

The harsh reality of a commercial world is, it's called supply and demand, Patsy. Particularly on the motorway, there is usually more than one eatery to choose from.

Service station eating is always going to be contentious in all sorts of ways. Sometimes a picnic/tapas is the answer.

I used to work for a motorway service area company many moons ago. They are charged huge sums for access to the motorway, have to heat, light, and staff the area 24/7 365 days a year to keep their licence, provide toilets and washroom facilities FOC, and although fuel prices are ridiculously high on the pump, very few people pay it, the majority of customers having business fuel cards. When I left over 10 years ago the profit on between 40 and 60 thousand litres of fuel was about £1000.
