What was he doing?

Wanted to watch the Leicester football team extend there lead by three more points.

 , Many 'Truckers' ,especially foreign, carry a small dish to watch T.V while they're on their break or nights out.It relieves the bordom of sitting/sleeping in the cab when away from home.

I thought it was such a weird place - not what I call a proper layby- the really dangerous ones!  I won't stop in those except in dire emergencies! 

Due to tachograph rules he could be having his daily rest as he had reached his daily driving limit so a lay-by although not everyone's ideal choice is a lot of lorry drivers home for the night to avoid paying to stay in the services, the dish would be for his evening entertainment

We have a layby right on the slipway to Junc16 M4 always lorries parked up, yet across the junction is a new area for lorries etc to have breaks.  Reason why they stop in the layby is its free, its less busy plus if a driver is about to run out of time, he can get his head down before the motorway.

i have many lorry driver friends that will do anything to avoid certain service stations on motorways, leicester Forest East is one and to be honest after i pulled in there wth the caravan i can see why! I stayed for exactly 3 minutes, enough time for pickles to do a wee! I was discusted at the state of the place! To think i was once on the management team of the service station back in the late 70's when it was spotlessly clean! Now i can only discribe the place as vile!

im a lorry driver and if your out all week and have to pay for parking out of your own pocket then claim it back of your boss later it becomes expencive not enough lorry parking in this country

Doesn't help when "Pickles" has a wee does it?
