And a small bottle of water £1.50. I saw a 'special offer' at Strensham (M5 south, junction with M50 for non-midlanders) of two Kitkats for £1. They're taking the p*ss.

It always amazes me how they can justify the prices, a Burger King or KFC is generally ?1.50 more in a service station than a town centre location.

I have come up with a cunning business plan and one day I will approach the neccesary people and make it work lol. Its genius.

Yeah. ?7 for a 'hot' beef sandwich or ?7.50 for a Wimpy meal. That's almost Birmingham NEC prices

I went to see Oasis at Manchester City Stadium in 2006. A packet of McCoys crisps were £1. You were searched as you went in, not for weapons, but for food & drink, it was confiscated if you had any on you

I went to a 'V' festival, same deal ... food or drink (including water) was convicted!!

At least at these service stations you are only buying the stuff if you are ill prepared!!

Thats so bad!

Cinemas make me laugh - £2.50 odd for a £1.30 odd bag of sweets!

I always get round those food searches - I ask them to show me a certificate to proove their in house food is totally nut free, tell tham a single trace of nut can kill me, which is why I bring my own food.
