Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

BRITISH transport cafés offer better value this year than they did last, according to the second edition of Crane Fruehauf's Egon Ronay Guide to Transport Cafes published this week. With 90 new entries — bring the total to 350 — the guide says that a typical café meal in 1975 costs 60p as against 50p last year. The meal this will buy is a main dish, three vegetables, bread and butter, a sweet and a cup of tea.

The guide now covers the whole of England, Ireland and Scotland and for the first time is available at bookstalls, price 95p. Lorry drivers can obtain copies at a special price of 66p direct from Crane Fruehauf's publicity department, Dereham, Norfolk, or many of the cafés themselves. All the cafés listed now receive a special sign.

A companion guide, Crane Fruehauf's Egon Ronay Guide to Inter-Continental Transport Cafe's, is also being published for the first time in conjunction to British Rail Sealink. Available free of charge to drivers on Sealink ferries, the guide lists cafés in the coastal areas of Britain, France, Belgium and Holland. It is published in three languages.

Mr Jack Jones, general secretary of the Transport and General Workers Union, welcomed the new publication. Mr Egon Ronay when asked why motorway service stations were not included replied that none reached the minimum standards required by his organisation and he urged the Government to review the contract by which large catering concerns ran such establishments.
