4:14

disease leading

bristol to edinburgh the longest

4:20

ever drive i've done in in

4:22

one sitting what

4:24

something considering all the miles of done

4:40

chastised myself more

4:43

forgetting to turn down

4:45

the fridge to is minimum setting

4:48

4:50

be on long as , all know

4:53

my selection

7:56

and quality for

7:59

me so

8:05

well

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

there's always going to be a minor services

8:51

stafford it just hasn't got the space

8:54

there was was of a building work

8:57

i was heading for fool and then

8:59

couple of things happened or one will be reflected

9:02

in the next to ratings

9:05

i'm ratings group of football fans

9:07

arrived on their way to some much

9:10

and did what for the fans always do in my experience

9:13

and small unnecessarily and

9:15

loudly

9:16

in front of families just as

9:18

part of as a general conversation you

9:20

get your i think i'll say i'll get you an fn

9:23

cafe oddity seem pay

9:25

less weight with his ass things ass

9:27

thing thing thing dead guy's

9:30

sarfate and morning

9:33

anyway

9:34

as a boy been gonna give it

9:37

a on three

9:39

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

vegetarian breakfast options

10:09

now that the zilch though

10:12

as is often case greg

10:15

save the day with day

10:17

vegan sausage sandwich some

10:20

hash browns though

10:23

selection have to say

10:25

is a see the

10:27

three point five

10:30

finally quality well

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

tastes so like it slightly

10:42

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

11:12

buying average for the survey
