The thread was to see who had used McD's less than me, and about five of you rose to the challenge. The rest of you just wrote twadle. Start your own thread with "why I think McDonald's is not that bad, sort of, bro, kickin"


I last used Kentucky Fried Chicken in the early 80s but got some sort of MSG buzz. They changed the name to KFC as they stopped frying the chicken as it was too high in calolries.

Just an intersting point.

Not a soft target. Multi billion enterprise making money out of lowering the standard of a potentially fantastic product. Give me a gastro pub medium rare any time. Sorry your gastro pub experience in ED was bad Quidsir, but I have had some v nice gastro pub burgers on LL over the years. It feels as good as a top steak on a good day. McDs, you can't even taste the meat.

once for cup of tea on raining day when had missed train about twenty years ago, too a kids party about same time and maybe another kids party with one of my other sons at which had one of there dreadful apple pies since thought that would be safe bet was disgusting plastic. remember being at six form when Peckham one had just opened some friends worked there said they used to play football with the frozen burgers before they served them out front.

they are disgusting dirty places serving cheap chemically enhanced rubbish.

Or start your own forum, where the initiator of each thread has permission to censor the subsequent posts.

If you're complaining about the quality of the burgers, you're missing the point. You don't go there for a gourmet experience, there is no point comparing it with a ?10+ burger from a restaurant/gastropub. It's quick, cheap, hot food that you can eat on the go, and tastes OK-ish. If you don't want to eat their food then that's fine, but showing off about it is just snobbery.

A bit sighhhhh


Intention wasn't to debate the pros on cons of McD's but a competition on who had avoided it the most. Just light hearted stuff. Like my who reads the Daily Mail thread.


But now you raise the inverted snobbery gauntlet.


We are a progressively unhealthy nation.

The take away culture (not just McD's) is a serious contributor to this

Takeaways are not a major contributor to economic growth, skills and career prospects.

McDs and the like have enormous corporate clout/brand to influence whole generations

How does this support either our national identity (51st state?) or our celebration of diversity?

The Olympics sucked corporate cock, and as far as I can see did nothing to support SMEs as was promised.


Here comes another winter, of long shadows and high hopes

malumbu, you win, I've been to McD's many more times than you.


Moving on, I do indeed go for the extra hamburger, Otta. And despite always doing this, I will tack it on to the end of the order as if an afterthought (and not considered greed).


When my wife was away recently I resolved to try every burger (or sandwich) on the menu. Have to addmit that was taking it a little too far.

I had a Maccers cheeseburger the other night.


An aimiable drunk had just been telling me in detail about his shed and pressure washer - whilst I scoured the boards for the last train home. He shook my hand over-enthusiastically when we parted and said I was a 'good lad' - despite me being ten years older than him.


When I got home, I found tomato ketchup and onions around the crotch area of my trousers.



True story.

I don't know who it was - Relate, or similar organisation - once said that McDonalds are where a huge amount of chnage-overs take place. I think they even gave a percentage, something unfeasibly huge like 66%. It would be nice to find that stat on the web somewhere. I cannot think of many places, public or otherwise, that would be so well suited for such a potentially highly-charged moment.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
