Having a turn
Speeding east on the A14, they'd just passed Newmarket services, but with no request for a comfort stop, the driver wanted to get mother home a.s.a.p. If she'd asked beforehand, mother would have berated her for talking about it.
"I need to go NOW!", shouted mother, having noticed she'd missed the services as they'd whizzed past.
"There's nowhere for 20 miles", said long-suffering daughter, "you'll have to hold on."
...then, 10 minutes later, out of the blue...
"There! Toilets! TURN OFF HERE!"
The transport cafe was closed. The toilets were open... but revolting!
"They're DISGUSTING!"
"Tough shit!", thought daughter.

If transport cafes are the same thing as truck stops here in the States then that was a tough shit indeed! The port-a-potties at Woodstock were probably cleaner than a truck stop toilet!

Transport cafes an truck stops must be exactly the same. I think she was rather lucky it was closed for our Easter Monday bank holiday, otherwise with all those truckers around, the shit would have been even harder!
