“Quite a few of us would like to park in motorway stations for longer than two hours” That you can park for only two hours in British motorway stations before being charged for the privilege tells me something. Namely, that, given the choice, quite a few of us would like to park in them for longer.
I know that, sometimes, I would. Not to see the sights, generally. But to meet a colleague, park one car, take another, share the driving – use less fuel, be less tired – that sort of thing. You can do that, of course, but only if you pay a surcharge to do it.
The service station’s thinking is that, as a weary traveller, two hours is plenty of time to get what you need…
