Author: Message: Anonymous birds who work in costa are fit especially that ria! Posted: 05 Mar 2010, 18:27 maysha 3 how aboot some notice b4 u go in that the garage is not open Posted: 16 Feb 2010, 23:05 Doreen a thoroughly wonderful petrol station the might staff are try the most polite angela especially helpful Posted: 02 Nov 2009, 04:21 Duncan The guy who works nights at the fuel station is a the most unhelpful, anger individual I have ever met. I ran out of fuel an managed to coast into the forecourt, but he refuse to let me buy any fuel 'because I came in the wrong way'. I subsequently couldn't move my car (back back) and was stuck there for an hour while I waited for teh AA to come and take me home. Complete fool - I can only hope they sack him. Posted: 23 Sep 2009, 23:37 MatthewB6323 A further note: contrary to what is stated on the Caffe Ritazza page, I don't remember them operating here. The cafe was branded as Cafe Nescafe for many years, following an experiment with it as a truckers' zone. Posted: 19 Nov 2008, 15:10 Alan Yes, you're right. Scotch Corner was definitely a Pavilion, after they bought out Rank in 1992. It had a waitress service main restaurant too, as opposed to a self service one. Posted: 11 Nov 2008, 12:17 MatthewB6323 I'm sure that when I first visited this SA in the mid-1990s, it was newly converted to Granada from Pavilion, and before that it had been advertised from the road as Top Rank; there were several green signs around and the small cafe had an italic neon sign of the kind also seen in the period at Hilton Park. After the opening of the Little Chef this briefly became a truckers' area before conversion to Cafe Nescafe, a brand which remained at Scotch Corner until early 2008.
