McD's not loving it

I was drawn into an ad tonight on the box where a new man moves into the family house and the teenage son resents it. But it all ends nicely in McD's


Rather than put my fingers down my throat I thought I'd rant about it on line.


I have been to McDonalds three times in the last quarter of a century. In 1991 in Budapest as I could get a cup of tea with milk in it. Around the same time in Windsor to have one of their ill fated vegi burgers. And in 2000 I had some curly fries in Mexico City. Now I remember I did have something meaty after a Siouxie and the Banshees concert at the Birmingham Odeon in 1984.


I am not after debate about how unecessarily maligned McDs are (it's just capitalism, we get what we want). I am just interested if anyone in SE London has been there less than me.

Sometimes if I'm desperate I'll nip in and use the toilets. That's how I see them; as one big giant toilet. It often feels like something is going to kick off in there. Once, about 14 years ago, my friend drove me to that drive in one near Streatham when I was extremely drunk. I wouldn't eat one sober.

I had a veggie burger/ fillet of fish in McD's every Monday eve for 10 weeks about 20 years ago- it was the only place to get anything to eat at 7pm in Wandsworth before I started a class. I have never eaten in one since- but I would if I had no other choice. I think I would have greater trust of the hygeine in a Mcdonalds than in some indpendent places. I would not eat the chicken or meat there.

So odd. As if not going to McDonald's conferred moral stature.


It's not food, it's FUEL. Predictable, uniform, fast.


Useful on a late-night drunk when one doesn't wish to provoke multibacterial gastritis with the choices at a scabby kebabi. Useful on a motorway when one is trying to get somewhere quickly. Useful when infanticide looms (for SO MANY REASONS) and one wants to avoid provoking children's finickinesses.


Mickey D is an apple, Simpson's-on-the-Strand, Nobu, Angels and Gypsies are oranges. Sometimes the circumstances call for an apple.


If you can arrange your circumstances so that you never need eat an apple, hurrah! Enviable you. I'll keep at hand my walletful of BIG MAC WITH FRIES ?1.99 coupons from Metro. Just in case.

Went to the one in Streatham about 25 years ago because we took the kids to the ice rink as a birthday treat. Had

some sort of awful dry cinnamon doughnut and a cup of 'tea'. Never been in one since, BK sweet chili chicken wrap

is ok and their 5 bean burger (do they still doit?) without the cheese.

I wonder why the McD in Forest Hill shut down and why no others have?

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
