    No idea.

    What's the parking like? ;)
  • Off the A38 near Fradley, Northbound.........it housed a Little Chef many years ago and had a long succession of various restaurants all of which failed before the Adult Store (and Cocktails) arrived........they must have copied the one near Wisbech, also next door to a garage ;)

    Never seen any cars (or HGVs) parked there when I've driven by, though!!!
    Parking when it was a Little Chef was not plentiful, so I would say one HGV at the most and the car park will be full!

    Now improved to suit the target clientele apparently.

    There's a one on the A1 somewhere near St Neots which used to be a restaurant too. I'd love to know their sales figures.:rotfl:

    Ha ha, we drove past there last summer and there was (what I think was) a lady with her top pulled right up under her chin and was getting some air to her boobs. At least I think they were boobs, could have been moobs, kind of moulded into her rather big belly.

    Either way my husband and I were silent for about 5 seconds and then just said 'did you see that' 'yes' and then burst into hysterics.

    I have to confess of looking out for someone else each time we drive past (slowly - LMAO not really!!)

    The one on the south bound A1 used to be a Happy Eater years ago.

    If you call in the the Truck Stop at South Mimms Services they have a !!!!!! vending machine! Or did the last time I was there a couple of years ago.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.
