The site is easily recognisable from the busy A27 thanks to the bright blue branding of the pole sign and canopy. The Power brand tops the pole sign with the words 'A Local Fuels Brand' underneath. Then there are the prices, the words: 24 hour off licence, Price Watch Local and Smokin' Bean coffee.

LOCATION: This site is just off the M4, on Shepiston Lane, right near Heathrow Airport. Forecourt: Banners out the front of this spacious forecourt highlight the goodies inside including a Greggs and a Subway. One banner says 'Fuel your senses'. I was not sure what that meant but afterwards googled it and it refers to an Esso/McLaren/Honda film starring Jenson Button.
LOCATION: South Cave is a village, approximately 12 miles from Hull. This Sewell on the go site is just off the busy A63. Forecourt: It's a very impressive drive into the site with the pole sign featuring BP, Costa Express, Subway and Nectar points. There's another big sign with the message 'Subway We Are Now Open' and a smaller one communicating the free-to-use ATM. Yet another sign advertises the Car Spa jet wash and drive thru. A lot of signs but there's lots of space, so it's not cluttered.
LOCATION: Micheldever Service Station is located on the A303 eastbound at Popham and was, until recently, an Esso 'On the Run'. It is now one of the growing numbers of Euro Garage sites in the south. There are the usual 'service station ahead' signs on the A303, but the service station pole is not visible until drivers are on the slip road up to the site.
LOCATION: A free tourist guide to North Norfolk gives a warning to motorists that they may find petrol stations tricky to find. It then gives a list of towns with a filling station so a pin in the list and I find myself off to do a stealth check in Burnham Market.
