Totally agree Western SMT a truckstop is a safe haven its not very safe parked on the roadside now

A new truckstop with 310 parking spaces is opening near Calais in the new year.

The site, located in the Transmarck area, is due to open on January 12.

It will feature a 200-seat restaurant and bar, vending machines, shops and wash facilities, as well as internet, fax and telephone services.

Plus, French Government Welfare and Emigration Officers, to assist poor unfortunate, criminals from all points East, in their onward transport to the UK, where there are millions of idiots, just waiting to provide them with good housing, health and welfare services, at no cost to the immigrant, just the British Fools.

On arrival, we will wecome them, throw open our homes and personages, to their often violent onslaught, until they drive us into the channel or the ground.

Sorry, the Baileys has warn off, and the Grumpy Old Man, who says a lot and does nowt about it has reared his head again.
Lol

The truck stop at Aberdeen, if it's the one I'm thinking of, it's about 43 miles outside of Aberdeen and serves a great and value for money meal. I stopped there on my way to Shetland last August.

I can't remember the name, but it's near a hospital.

Stracathro in Angus is the one you mean Coastie, its beside a hospital, should be about 43mls from Aberdeen. Good place for a working mans shower and a feed. :D

That's the one! I have stopped there many a time. What a great place.:)

So instead they want it near 'settlements' (where complaints about noise and traffic might ensue . . .)?

Same old story.you would be a hero if you struggled through the snow with the supplies they need...Regards Alan
