hi redd9, thanks for responding, i guess you would have lived pretty local to have worked at the ace then. as soon as i saw the pic put up by G-CPTN (thanks to him) i recognized it straight off. Did it always stay as a cafe? one thing i find strange is the junction a5/45 weedon,i dont remember it being the way it is now when we used the cafe back then, they must have altered it quite a bit over the years. erfman

Did it ever become part of the "sausage" chain? There were a few cafes, around Northampton(shire) that had sausage as part of their name. Flying Sausage and Sizzling Sausage were, I think, two. One of them was in Northampton proper. Somwhere near the Carlsberg brewery, I think.

I guess that most drivers take their breaks in the cab (larger than in the olden days) and have storage facilities (fridges) for food and drink. In addition, meal prices are probably higher nowadays (lower demand from truckers).
