Refuel right at the end of the M6: there's a BP rest area (not services) where fuel is supermarket prices, so about 10p/l cheaper than the rip off services.

It's actually Shell on N/B side and BP on S/B - and the Shell forecourt is usually 2-3p less.

If you hit any traffic you may be buggered.

Blimey, that's a heavy price to pay

I did Kentish Town to Lockerbie on Friday night in a minibus limited to 62mph with 9 girls on board.

We stopped twice.

You, sir, are just bragging.

Lying, you mean.

We all know you can't drive that far with women on board without stopping at least a dozen times for pee breaks.
