His trick was to tap people up when he saw them win. He'd say "Alright geez" or "Alright little lady" (if you were female) and then ask for money for some digestive biscuits from the Welcome Break shop. You must appreciate that even back then, a packet of biscuits from a Welcome Break shop were costing around the £169 mark and most people would take on a credit agreement, whereby they'd pay £25.99 a month for twelve months for the biscuits. If it wasn't digestives, it'd be spicy McCoy chilli crisps. I was once missold PPI when I bought a pair of crease resistant trousers. I am hoping to reclaim £10,000 with the assistance of the financial Ombudsman some time soon.
It seemed anyone who played any services in England from Scotch Corner to Charnock Richard, to Keele, To Hilton Park, to Maygor to South Mimms, to Gordano to Taunton Deane to Newport Pagnell to Matteohofiou to Leicetester Thicket North had met Spider.
It also caused confusion with our very own Spyder who kept wondering why people claimed to be meeting him in random service stations up and down the country.
The guy was about 5'9" tall, slim(ish) build and carried a bag with him. He would try the odd coin in the machines and seemed fairly canny. If somone put £4 into an IJ2 and walked off no board, then Spider would be there in a flash for the due board.
It started to be discussed on the UKFMP, much to the great annoyance of Mr. Jonathon Morris, owner of a Ford Focus RS ST RS GT. Something rather silly was posted by an old schooler I seem to remember and JM went off on one saying all talk of Spider was BANNED from the UKFMP and we were all idiots and STILL HERE? YOU MUST BE MAD!!!!
So an underground site was formed and like a police map of crimes, needles were stuck in service stations were the Spider man had been seen. Kudos was awarded for tracking down this character and eventually one by the name of 'The Padouin Learner' tracked down Spider and interviewed him. The interview was posted on the Spider board and dealt with the life of a traveller who floated around service's Gamezones. It wasn't a News of The World special, but it did float a few people's boats and was actually a fair detailed interview.
However I soon saw Spider after that and he claimed that an Internet cult was coming to 'get him' and he thought it was originating from some lads from South Mimms.
"See y'around bruv" was his parting shot.
I never saw Spider after that but I'm sure he had a protege. A tall, slow large built man, also with a dirty green bag and long straggly hair. He watched me play a GBC in Corley services for a bit and then in a loud and solemn voice droned, "They've got one of those in Keele services".
"Ah right" I said.
And that was that.
