- Motorway services in the early 1980's! They have certainly changed these days. We look at some services which open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and they offer young people a variety of job opportunities in shops, in catering, and on the forecourt. From my own personal collection of N1700 video tapes. Uploaded purely for educational purposes only.

Nothing like a manager who helps you feel positive about your work!
This is why you need life experience before becoming a manager. A 17 year old is far too young.
@@Aerojet01 Totally agree. Someone who is more rounded and who can relate to people and humans varied lifestyles would help! I think I'd be looking for alternative employment if that bint was my boss!
I didn't like that manager. She seemed like a right old cow!
Simon blew it straight away, you're supposed to be wear a vis-vest/jacket when you go out on the forecourt so motorists can easily see you.
4 different fuel companies at the pumps - healthy competition. I wonder if the prices were the same.
That Alison is an absolute witch! "I got the job because my attitude is right", she says as she castigates the other employees and has zero customer service skills!
Agreed, she was horrible, and full of herself!
You don't get electric shock from changing a bulb unless you put your finger in the socket.
… or your tongue!
Good combination - Bart followed by the Going To Work theme.
Yes indeed too.
Very nice there then too of course. Thank you-well done too!
All those spaces and the first guy to fill his car up and he forgets which side his petrol cap is on the car
Absolutely loved my time working for THF roadside during this era
12:02 Simon's getting a bit bolshi there with the manager! 🤭🤣🤬
Ha ! 17 yo trainee manager. I hated that where I used to work. - I started there when I was 30, I worked there for 12 years, and they put some snot-nose who was barely out of school in charge of me, thinking they knew everything.
Service Manager at 17😮
@13:59 - Wow, we always had to have to a shot of a Cortina/ Granada no matter what the show was in these old clips. didn't we ? Did Ford have a sub-contract with BBC or something ??
If it takes Anne 20 - 25 minutes to clean one room, how is she going to do 10 in 3 hours ?
That vacuum cleaner she was using looked like a museum piece!
WTF ? Kiosk staff climbing on the tanker ? Guess they weren't too big on H and S back then.
Wait a minute.....Allison was only 17 and she said she'd already been there 2 1/2 years ??
Kelvin later got a job playing Gary Mallet in CORONATION STREET.
They always played groovy music before the programme started
Annette looks pretty pissed off with having a boss who's young enough to be her daughter !
This is my dream watch. One day I hope to be able to afford one. This is absolutely one of the best watches I have ever seen, and trust me I have seen a lot. 😊
Poor Annette 😢😢
I hope Annette put in her claim for Laundry expenses if she had two uniforms that you take home and wash yourself?? 🤣
@7:10 "SURGEON'S WIFE: NEW MOVES ! " "HEATH ROCKS TORY BOAT !" Gasp !
13:00 If his hands weren't dry...
Dennis, 21 looks 39 and dislikes, looking 39 in his man-alive polyester parka. Looks, 39 disdainful as he can go in a layby and dislikes supervision at 39 on his milky mobile machine reducing him entirely of ever looking 21 again.
17:45 "Lunchburger" time at 2pm! I always thought that, by defintion, a 'lunchburger' (one word) could only ever be eaten between 12 noon and 1:30pm, and any other time you will get violent gastric spasms. These motorway types are mavericks with living their lives in the fast lane....
Yup, switch off the fwyer and fill it with wohta, very commendable.
He cleans his fwyer better than those dirty sods on Bar Rescue or Ramsey's Nightmares!! 🤣
Kelvin's attitude was a little hostile.
I wonder where Dennis is now.
He's still there, he's the senior road sweeper now.
@@mistofolesand he still looks as if he could do with a good night’s sleep.
A649 up left side of embankment, wrong gear.
So many sh t jobs in those service industries; no wonder I was stoned half the time....
It looked pretty boring all of it.
Might be a good idea to wear gloves when you're handling soda crystals, son - Just a thought.
Yes, and don’t go filling up the salt cellars without checking first this time.
@16:05 - The lunchtime rush. Looks busy, doesn't it ?
19:12 Staff must be mature enough to handle cash but a 17 year old managing staff is fine. 🤦♂️
Where's Esso?
Couldn't Dennis speak for himself ? How come all the main characters did a narrative except for him ?
Dennis can only think, not talk and drive and he's in a 'Man Alive' polyester parka which is wrong gear.
Using a dipstick ? Simon WAS a dipstick ! Surely there would have been a gauge on the tanker that told you exactly how much fuel it was holding ?
Dennis is 21?! Bollocks.
who the hell stays at a motorway hotel for 3 nights !!
Alan Partridge.
