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?

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Sue · Posted

      How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't he just be struck off, or the equivalent?

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By richard tudor · Posted

      There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
