A plan would be to park in the southbound area and walk across the footbridge to northbound and drive home! Leaving your better half to head down to the next junction and turn back north....

The services if I recall are between j16&17. Head sth come off at 16 and double back.

Other than sneaking out the back gate of the services.... I think Daved has the only other viable plan.

briggie motorway signs look like this . you will notice there is a black box with a number in it . that is the junction number (in this case its 28)

its not an actual sign of what route to take . its just a demonstration :doh
