Motorway service stations

Hi Tim

I heard this intriguing item today and thought you'd love it. Did you know that many motorway service stations have the names of dead villages that had all but disappeared? Anyway lots of interesting stuff about service stations, how people can become invisible in them, transient populations etc - fascinating!
