The original post on this thread was made in 2003 and it's something to do with when they updated the site (that's about as technical as I can be about it!).

Hiya,
I've had a look at 5 minutes away & the main supermarket sites, but thought I'd tap into local expertise if I can. We're looking for somewhere to break our journey to Cornwall. Can anyone recommend somewhere we can stop for breakfast & petrol near the M5 between Bristol & Bridgewater?
Ta much in advance

TOMTOM or rac map usually can provide that information. I cant but someone maybe able to.

If we are tapping into local knowledge, any traffic blackspots to avoid on the way to Truro/Falmouth?
Someone on here mentioned one last year & I remembered about it.... as we joined the back of a 1Hr queue.

Could we not boycott motorway service stations?

We should all ignore them.

Carry a can of spare petrol AFTER filling up BEFORE leaving home
Carry some snacks, make a sandwich etc

BINGO !

Consumer revenge.....they will have no option but to match Tesco prices.

Bon voayge!

Nope. We should still use their facilities, its free!

Yeah, but they'll close if we boycot them so you won't be able to do that.

I haven't read all the threads, so I apologise if this has been mentioned, but the Good Pub Guide is excellent for this!

It has a section informing you of great pubs that do food which are only a couple of miles from Motorway junctions.

Believe me there are some great ones, and the food is often way cheaper and vastly better than the cack you get a service stations.:beer:
