| Well if you want a pint you can pull off a motorway and get one anyway and then get back on.
What is so different about a motorway?
They are safer roads anyway in general
Although a drunk could cause a right carnage and disruption.
But I don't think we are talking drunks here are we?
Just a bite to eat and a possible drink.
Not all people who would fancy a drink with their meals are drivers, so they are catered for.
It's all about responsible choices at the end of the day.

| I think the greater risk from having a pint before driving any distance on a motorway is that of drowsiness.

Why say something so stupid when I myself made the point that taking any drug is inevitably going to have "some" effect? The question isn't whether your functioning (whether driving or anything else) IS affected, but rather HOW and TO WHAT EXTENT it is affected.
The other point I made, which presumably you also missed, is that at present in this country it is legal to drive with a small blood alcohol level, and so the law of the land does not judge anything below that level as SIGNIFICANTLY affecting the average person's driving, to the extent that they should be prevented from doing it.
Anything that I actually SAID that you'd like to comment on?

Agreed, and also the faster speeds you're going to be driving at, the more significant even a small effect on any of your faculties might be.

Sin Bin maintains it's teenage levels then, led by it's mods. Perhaps that's why it's so quiet, apart from a few blatant trolls, here lately?

Well if you will suggest a comparison between airports and motorway service stations ...
Because of course all the pilots are on the razz in the former. You see them all the time: they park the plane and then pop in for a glass of wine before getting back into the plane to continue their journey.
TBH, I wasn't sure you were being serious – hence laughter.
I'd agree with you on 'Spoons breakfasts – certainly to the extent that they're better than most hotel ones.

| Don't think Wetherspoons brekkies are that bad to be honest.
Plus they soak up the ale for us p!ssheads who frequently enjoy an 8am start.
Being a non-driver pubs on motorways is a cracking idea.

So why do we have to go to France to find our nearest licensed McDonalds?
