The best and worst motorway service areas in the UK have been revealed with a "dirty" and "depressing" station on a key tourist route coming in last. We don't know why the MOT numbering was so erratic on the M3. One theory is that Kempshott's number was an error, and it should have been SA67 - but there's no evidence to support that. If you follow the M3 out of London, somewhere around Basingstoke it will start to feel like a totally different road. That's because for many years the M3 ended at J8, and this is key to its service station planning.

Only just behind was Gretna on the A74(M) between Junction 21 and 22. This is proof that Welcome Break can get services right, recording an average score of 4.15. It was narrowly ahead of Westmoreland-run Gloucester on the M5 between Junctions 11A and 12. One reviewer waxed: “It’s essentially a big, beautiful farm shop.” And where are the worst?Trumps Green was going to be the first motorway service area to be built close to existing houses. This "serious impact" formed the basis for the majority of the complaints, and was what had caused Redbourn to be dropped. Much of the trouble came from the Knowle Hill and District Residents Action Group, who felt they had been treated unfairly by being consulted on the route of the motorway, and then getting no say on the service area. Opened in 1959, poor old Toddington Northbound has seen better days. Its lino comes trodden with a pattern of dirty footprints and there’s a persistent smell of stale fast food in the air. This, like many other service stops, is not a place to linger. It’s what Alan Partridge’s creators must have had in mind when they moved him into a fictional motorway hotel (the Linton Travel Tavern) as his career crashed spectacularly. But this bobble head isn't just a pretty face - it also plays 10 of Bob's most inspiring and witty sayings, so you can keep his words of wisdom close at hand.

Birchanger Green (M11, junction 8), London Gateway (M1, junctions 2-4), Keele (M6, junctions 15-16) and Newport Pagnell (M1, junctions 14-15), all received a low customer score, but none are as bad as Gordano on the M5 (junction 19, 40%). Rory Boland, editor of magazine Which? Travel, said: "The results of our survey show that it pays to plan ahead to avoid some of the UK's worst motorway services. This was a cause for embarrassment for the Ministry. A few months earlier they had struggled to interest anybody in the service areas in the Lake District, and now they had failed at the M3's too. A re-think was needed, and they decided to cut their losses and leave Kempshott to lie fallow for now. The County Surveyor for Hampshire had pushed for just toilets to be provided here, but given the additional failure at Trumps Green (above), an urgent review led to Fleet taking all the limelight for the time being.

In 1995, the Highways Agency confirmed that they still owned the land at Trumps Green south-westbound, but said that it was "not in use". There had been a plan to use some of it to widen the M3, but this didn't happen. More recent maps show the national highway authority owning a large swathe of land by the north-eastbound side, but not south-westbound.Gloucester, on the other hand, is 'as far from a typical motorway stop as you can imagine'. From the 'wonderful design' of the building and cleanliness of the facilities, to the restaurant and farm shop selling 'delicious' food, it's no wonder it's in 'a different league to most service stations'. Are your colleagues still coming up to your desk and asking you to do things for them, even though you told them you’re completely swamped with work? Are they flooding your inbox with reminders? And as if that wasn't enough, the set also includes a mini easel book featuring 30 of Bob's stunning landscape works, which you can display alongside the figure. Only he’s not so adorable anymore. Don’t worry, he’s still got his cute little face, just on a much much bigger appendage. He must have been flaccid before because now he’s four feet of pure magnificent shaft.
