Talk:Truck stop/Archives/2015

Opening is misleading
The opening line of this article is very misleading. A truck stop does not denote it as an eating establishment. Many of the truck stops that I frequent offer no more than fuel and coffee.~Paul Mundt

This article is indeed inaccurate. Contrary to what this article says; in the UK there are both transport cafés and truck stops. They are two different things. The former is a roadside greasy spoon frequented by truckers. The latter is a much bigger establishment with Diesel pumps and facilities for those staying overnight such as showers, restaurant and bar etc.. Not everyone pronounces café "caff" either. It depends which part of the UK they come from. Apgeraint 16:30, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

I changed the article around quite a bit, hopefully making it more accurate and informative. Matheson 07:26, 28 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I have to admit I am a bit irritated when I was actually looking up "Transport Cafe", as I have fond memories of many in Scotland, and was redirected to "Truck Stop" which is NOT the same thing. It is not remotely close to describing a similar thing in the UK. I am curious to know whether this is the same in other English speaking countries.80.43.23.65 (talk)Lance Tyrell — Preceding undated comment added 16:20, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
