bristol to edinburgh the longest
4:20
ever drive i've done in in

4:40
chastised myself more
4:43
forgetting to turn down

8:07
the results are in and the have to say
8:10
it's a mixed bag well as
8:12
a mix is an average bag toilets
8:16
the layout they sort of had a
8:18
labyrinth sign seal as
8:21
as a little some sort corners and angles
8:24
cleanliness i would say was slightly
8:27
above average for a services
8:31
some , as to whether the as
8:33
distances my automatic push
8:36
push through a mixture of both attempts we
8:38
managed to get enough out toilets
8:41
three point six out of five by
8:44
the boy was quite nice his work being
8:46
done
8:48

9:18
part of as a general conversation you
9:20
get your i think i'll say i'll get you an fn

point six selection
9:42
now here in is the road
9:44
the building work as to construct a
9:46
chosen noodle a kfc
9:49
i'm depressed
9:51
which would really considering size of
9:53
put it up above for
9:55
it's gotten mls got a debate smith is
9:57
got a costa greg
10:00
and a burger king however get this auditing
10:03
could not believe us do not have any
10:06

10:33
at a coffee or got which
10:36
i go from one the machines clippings can make
10:38
it to my own particular
10:40

stronger in
10:46
fine as yeah find the
10:49
league and sausage sandwich was
10:51
good the ,
10:53
browns had disintegrated it's
10:56
but quality of gonna quality of point
10:58
seven
10:59
so that gives us a grand total
11:02
of
11:07
fourteen point four out of a possible
11:09
twenty and you know what that's
