I like how they don't 'nanny' like they do over here.

Aye, they always have to factor in for the f**kwittery brigade.

I don't see it as a particularly  great business move - no doubt they'll charge a fortune though - but I don't see how it'll make anyone more likely to drink and drive.    Come off the Forth Bridge and you're less than a minute away from a hotel and a pub and a licensed restaurant - don't see the difference that it's officially the same location as the motorway services.    Would give those staying in a Travel Lodge a place to have a nicer evening though.

Its just too much of a temptation...placed right in front of you 

I agree with you Cosi but on this one issue I'd make an exception.

It wouldn't be the first time I've crashed into Inchkeith.

I was givin it some though   

As opposed to many others?   What about drug driving? 

Yeah but drugs are not being put on sale at an M40 service station.

Its just a bad bad idea i.m.o.

I had a close relative killed in a crash... back at the time they were saying the introduction of mandatory seatbelts was quite nanny state, but it was a small sacrifice to make.

Banning boozers at motorway rest stops is similar... a small sacrifice.

Sure, there are roadside pubs all over the country, but you don't come out of those and drive at high speeds like you would on a motorway. 

Worse still they're being handed over willy nilly. I honestly know what you're saying, and both are as bad as each other TBH. It's about catching peeps in the act I think. There's sensible drinking, and there's daft drinking to my mind 

I know what you mean Sprout 

Hopefully there's random breathaliser tests in the car park.
