    I've yet to see motorway services even closed on Christmas Day.

    I drove from Scotland to Gloucestershire on Christmas Day morning in about 1996 and the only things open at the motorway services were toilets and fuel - it was the fastest journey time I ever did as there was nothing to keep me hanging around (plus the roads were pretty empty).

    Wouldn't be the case today...Although we've done well to just have convenience stores and services open for at east half the day up until now on Christmas Day!

    Journey went well and there were plenty of services open and busy - made 3 different stops in total. I wasn't worried about fuel, more a place to pee and buy coffee!

    I would rather go hungry than eat a Big Mac.

    I guess you have never been really hungry then :)
