Hi,


Take a look at it from another angle. Money is a little tight, you wander into any cafe around East Dulwich and will expect to pay 1.60+ for a bacon or egg sandwich. At Macdonalds you can get a chicken burger for 99p or a double cheeseburger for 1.29 I never, ever thought that I would sing the praises of f/food outlets but at least you know what you are getting. Sandwiches, Rolls, Burgers etc are only a stop gap and when you look at the intake volume of the serving, you cannot expect to be full up for more than a couple of hours.


Sorry, better go the doctor's coming back.


Regards,

Libra Carr.

I dont want to play the snobbery card, but am an very close


McD provides hot cheap/ digestable food in clean surroundings - at the very elast, the fat content is an energy source and fills a hole.temporarily anyway. I dont like the places personally , but can understand why people go there


The globalisation /corporate aspect, is, quite frankly, a product of too many empty heads reading too much Naomi Klein and

bleaty needy media they choose - Im sure Bono is in the mix somewhere


"How do you want your capitalism sir ? local or global ?"


doesnt matter whether the owner of the outlet lives in Connecticut or Derwent Grove, we all lose out

I don't entirely mind the food a few times a year but the plastic toy with a battery fixed inside it, guaranteed to break in day, given out with every kids meal is really very bad behaviour.


Millions of toys a week, tonnes of wasted plastic headed for landfills, forget plastic bags, McD make the supermarkets look pretty enlightened. McD are not alone in being gits, most fast food outlets are terrible shits who'd grind up their mums and stick 'em in a bun for a quid, but they are uniquely ugly - possibly because they and their rubbish get everywhere.


For that reason I don't want a McD in LL.


A proper diner would suit me fine though.

Sorry, just joined this thread and a definite no no for me!

I admit I used to go into Maccy Ds as a child for the free toys, in my teens for the Triv scratch cards to win food, in my twentys for a breakfast hangover cure, and even lasted a 6 hour shift as a summer job in Gatwick Airport.

Have you actually seen the stuff they put in between the buns, yuk, it makes my stomach churn with the thought.

But then again I haven't been in there for years!!!

Has it improved?

I think everyone needs to chillax a bit. Maccas isnt anyones first choice for a good old fashioned nosh, but I dont subscribe to that totally unfounded snobby attitude of 'Mcdonalds are evil corporate giants trying to make kids addicted to salt and fat by bribing them with toys' line which to be fair is just boring now, get over it I say. If I want a quick snack I go in and grab a meal deal, it's better value for money than going to GBK for a super dooper 10 times more expensive version of the same thing, at the end of the day it's just a bloody burger!

you were surprised that if you ate mcdonalds for every meal that it wasn't good for you?


as with the bookies, icelands, poncey shops, etc, etc - there are plenty of units on LL so if there's demand i don't have an issue

What I find amusing about the whole 'not in our high street mentality' is that the likes of the boutiques and organic this that and the other shops would all be made to look sick if a Mcdonalds or BK or such like opened up on the lane. The facts remain simple, loads of people complain about Maccas and yet still go in there once in a while for a sneaky cheesburger, and if you think thats a load of unfounded rubbish then explain why every single Mcdonalds you ever go past on a high street is packed at whatever time of the day you go past? Guess what, Iceland is still on LL because it does have a huge customer base, nowhere stays open unless it is popular.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect

      I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Rockets · Posted

      To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
