M6 Service station help

[Blib]

I popped up to Tamworth yesterday to pick up a heated windscreen for my Hawk Stratos rep. On the way back, I stopped for a bite to eat in a service station which I'm 99% sure was on the M6.

Unfortunately, when I got home I realised that I'd left my jacket behind on my seat back of the table I used. I'd like to get the jacket back. But, I'm not sure which service area I stopped in.

I'm not too bothered about the jacket. But, it had a Daytona 500 pin on the lapel. It was a memento of my trip to the 2009 NASCAR classic race. So, I'd like to call the service station to see if someone handed the jacket in.

I think there was a 'Days Inn' on the other side of the carriageway, there were certainly ads for it at the entrance. A single cash machine sat to the left of the entrance doors too and the station itself had from left to right as you looked at them, a Burger King, KFC and a general restaurant. There was an amusement arcade on the right just past a WH Smiths and a Costa Coffee was on the left as you entered.

I think that there was a stand alone Waitrose store on site too.

I know that sounds like every service station in England. But, maybe you locals know which one I'm talking about.

Any suggestions will be very gratefully received.

Thanks \FIF, I'll give them a call.

I followed the sat-nav. That's why I've no idea which services I visited. I've checked photos of a few of them & I don't recognise a thing.

Looks like my jacket, with its Daytona pin is gone. Oh well.

Presumably you have checked the satnav route and seen which Welcome Breaks you would pass on way to Tamworth.

Yes of course I have. What do you take me for? An idiot? *

I went M1 - M6. That's it.





* No.

Tamworth has its own services that is on the m42.

Does it have the outlets that I mentioned in my OP, NoNeed?

Thanks for posting. But, no, not that one.

"Mine" had Smiths, Costa, KFC, Burger King and a general restaurant.

It was within 30 minutes of leaving the windscreen place in Tamworth.

It must be Corley. In fact when i phoned yesterday, the lost property person wasn't on site ( ) i shall call them again.

Watch this space

had somebody lost her !

I've spoken to her and nothing has been handed in. Looks like I'll have to return to Daytona to get a new 500 pin.

SUCCESS!!!

I've just received a call from Jackie at Corley services to tell me that my jacket had been handed in, lapel pin and all. What's more, she is going to post it off to me free of charge!

So, a big thanks to her and to you FiF and all the other people kind enough to take the time to post on this thread and offer advice.

I'm grateful to you all and as some kind of thanks, here's a photo that I took at the 2009 NASCAR Daytona 500. It's of Joey Logano's car just after it hit the inside wall.



Thanks once again.
