Just make sure you stop at Tebay services (j38-39) - best view of any Service station in the UK

No, none. But at 8am tomorrow who knows

Word of advice, don't leave the van alone for too long.

I saw a better view north of there once. Last year I was on my way back from the Keswick Mountain Challenge, and a few miles North of Tebay services I passed a broken down Minibus with the contents (cheerleaders) all lined up along the edge of the hard shoulder. If my mind and reflexes hadn't been addled from the ride I'd have had the sense to stop and help. Or at least stop and look since my mechanical skills are minimal

Coatbridge = Buckfast for breakfast.

Coatbridge ....... Bring tazer and baton rounds....
But at 8am there will be few locals stirring, they will still be sleeping off the previous night's xs.

Buckfast is also known as Coatbridge Table Wine. Pick up a few bottles for Xmas!!

I've always been amazed that Buckfast is so popular up here, especially with who it's popular with. Not exactly cheap enough to be proper tramp juice is it?

Oh but greater Glasgow has so many armpits and the competition is so strong. It might only qualify as the yesterday's pants of Scotland.
