whats it called
Bear with me on this fellow Abers, but I occasionally write short stories and am stuck for suitable words, for instance I'm not sure what word to use to describe,
(1) you know those places you rest in, en route to somewhere far away. They are situated on the side of the motorway, its a place where you find pinball machines to play on, rest rooms and restaurants like McDonalds and Burger King.
(2) Secondly, when you work for the Civil Service, what is that document that the management has, giving them guidelines on how to deal with staff matters, i.e. grievances/unfair treatment. Maybe TheCorbyloon can help me out with this!
(3) Do ships "park" themselves at a harbour or "anchor" themselves. Or is there another more suitable word to decribe this?

2) Could be a code of practice or staff manual or grievance procedure, or employees' handbook
3) Ships dock (not themselves as the pilot or captain has to do it for them!) When stationary in the harbour they are at anchor. Parking is just for cars and lorries, on dry ground I think.
