A lot of Wetherspoons business is non drinking though, like all their meals are pretty good food at really affordable prices and especially their breakfasts are quite popular I think

I don't think it's that big a deal anyway, ok so it's right by a motorway but all pubs are by roadsides anyway really aren't they, if someone was driving and really did want a drink they could leave the motorway and be at a pub within not that long usually. This might be more convenient but people are sensible enough to not suddenly start chucking drink down their neck just cos there's a pub in a service station. I imagine most of the drink trade will be things like big coachloads of people and that sort of thing.
