In case you all haven't noticed service stations are miles between towns most of the time. There are no excuses. There are plenty of dumb idiots that WILL drink and drive. There WILL be crap caused by the brainless morons that have allowed this to happen. Don't come out with bollox like "maybe we should close all pubs" or "it's just the same as driving past one in town", No, it's not and like I said, the idea is beyond belief and ludicrous. Freakin joke.

The article does state:
"Wetherspoons defended the move by saying motorists could already buy alcohol at many supermarket branches at motorway service stations"
If alcohol was such a problem then wouldn't that be banned?
The problem is that people are creating "what if" scenarios to suit their personal agenda and opinion.
The police haven't objected, surely they know more than the average forum armchair expert?

Miles between towns? That may be true of many but this is about J2 of the M40. If you have never been there, then you might not realize that these "Motorway Services" aren't even ON the M40 Motorway at all (like most others are), they're on normal roads NEAR the M40 (just South of J2) and they are not only accessible from the Motorway, like most others are, local traffic can use them too. So it's really not that different from most any other Pub that is within easy reach of a Motorway junction.
