OPEN 24 HOURS in UK, USA, Germany or Singapore? McDonalds, Asda and Tesco

Problem
What's open 24 hours? UK, USA, Worldwide, arriving early off a plane, you want milk. Packing for an early flight, you need cosmetics or clothes. Google lets you search for 'Open 24 hours near me'. When picking up your hire car at the airport, remember to ask if they are open 24 hours and where to return your car, fill up with petrol and eat.

If you can'f find anywhere open, you'll find petrol and food on the motorway. Service stations by law are bound to stay open 24 hours, although it might be just one burger bar, and you might have to cross the overhead bridge to get there.
