The de luxe service must be frightfully expensive, and I would much prefer the daisy meadow, please.
This is reminding me of a very American story, from just outside our village:
Soon after the interstate highway was put in close to town, an abandoned cinderlock building near Exit 122 was painted white and given a sign, "Phil's Trucks," and--oddly--a disco ball was hung over the door.
Phil's Trucks didn't have any windows, and seemed to have irregular hours. Because it was sort of isolated, people pretty much ignored the place.
Turned out to be a house of prositution, and truckers (hence the name, "Phil's Trucks") were being given business cards and being told about Phil's great service all up and down Interstate 75--Michigan to Florida.
The little old ladies of Norris were appalled. Right under their noses! Two miles outside town!

I can see them making a movie about it- with a role for Burt Reynolds.
