Other than getting to see the country and getting paid for it. Sightseeing all the places that most folk don\u2019t even know exist and going on holiday three times a week when the weather is decent. Not bragging (okay, a bit) but there\u2019s one \u2018benefit\u2019 that stands above all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the food we have on our travels. The proper, no-nonsense stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trick is to find the places that are busy with locals. That\u2019s the golden rule. If you pull up and see a couple of vans, a taxi, and a bloke in hi-vis waiting, you\u2019re onto a winner. That\u2019s where the good food is at and the prices are still reasonable because they haven\u2019t started calling chips \u2018frites\u2019 yet. You eventually get to a point where you have favourite eateries at different junctions. A transport cafe near Cannock for a bap, a particular services on the M5 for a pasty that doesn\u2019t taste like cardboard. As a byproduct, you become a master when it comes to arranging good dates. \u201cFancy a drive to the coast?\u201d you\u2019ll say, already knowing the pub with the garden and the proper ploughman\u2019s. It\u2019s a powerful skill, that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ps – There\u2019s a farm in Cornwall who make this badass fruit spread every summer and a pub which I cannot remember where (and it\u2019s really annoying me) that sells the best chutney known to mankind! These places become like treasure. You\u2019ll be driving past Exeter and suddenly remember the chutney and spend twenty minutes annoyed you can\u2019t recall the village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also – It\u2019s extremely important and encouraged to send pictures to your significant other\/s to show them what they are missing. A detailed photo of a perfectly battered sausage, chips that are actually golden. It\u2019s a public service. And it\u2019s to encourage them to be on their best behavior so that you take them for a treat too. Either way, it is good manners to buy cakes and goodies for them. A box of fudge from Bridgnorth, some weird shortbread from a farm shop. It softens the blow of the lunchtime taunting. So do it. Because I said so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a lovely weekend folks and remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you need a courier who loves eating large and taunting his wife but then makes up by buying her cakes (it\u2019s a system, it works) do the call to action thing below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
