stoped in these services on Wednesday 25 November. As you are all aware the weather was terrible ,I had just come off the boat at 2.15 am after a 4 hour crossing , because of the weather and had to stop, due to still feeling ill.Went to the toilet inside and had a cup off coffee to settle myself and then back to my vehicle.I was well aware that the first 2 hours parking were free so did not get a ticket, unfortunitly for me i fell asleep for an extra half an hour, and when I woke I found that I had been clamped.I am fuming at this because the clamper could see I was sitting in the seat sleeping and he did not even bother to wake me to tell me what he was going to doI had to pay £190.00 for half an hour sleep.I will never call at these services again and would advise others not to do so either because of the under handed way they do things *bad&sad*

The Costa coffee concession charges far too much for what you get, but that's fairly typical of most British motorway services. On the plus side, the toilets were very clean when I visited.

To be fair, what hasn't been slated by Jeremy Clarkson? I know Stafford North is "the only MSA designed like a race track".
