Taken on it's on and eaten as part of a balanced diet there is nothing wrong with a Big Mac and fries. If you look at the nutritional content of McDonalds meals they are all created with balance in mind. Sure they may be loaded with calories but so is a curry and I note that there is an ED curry club. The Morgan Spurlock film Supersize Me, in which he ate nothing but McDonalds for a month, breakfast, lunch and dinner did end up with him being overweight and having increased blood pressure and cholesterol etc. but I'm sure you would get the same effect eating nothing but pizza or cheap ready made meals from Iceland. I know for a fact that with regards to the beef used, McDonalds use nothing but top grade British beef with no fillers or cereals added.


No I don't work for McD's and I don't work for them as PR or anything like that.


@Louisa - I'm not sure how you can pass comment like that without having met me (or have you?).

1am, 4am, 5.30am, 7am... all the same to me these days! grrrr

" I know for a fact that with regards to the beef used, McDonalds use nothing but top grade British beef with no fillers or cereals added."


Not having a go at MaccyD here - but given the statement above, the burger should taste a little more beefburgery no?


Like McCain's chips - nothing but fresh potatoes. Frozen


So why if I use fresh potatoes and freeze them, do they taste nothing like that?


Something else is afoot

SJ, Have you ever taken the burger out, scraped it cleanish and tried it? I haven't either, but for me, the meat in a Maccas burger just adds chewyness. The hamburger tastes of their very sweet breat and their sauce.


But I do believe their premium burgers "big tasty" et al are made with much better quality meat.


But lately I have gone right off maccas for anything other than McMuffins, which I love!

Birds. Look, I like you and all. You brighten up a sunny day with your cheerful chirruping and I will happily chase cats out of our garden so they don't threaten the robins nesting in our tree. But, BUT, what, at the first glimmer of light, is the dawn chorus all about?

I mean, really? You all have to get together and scream your soddin' beaks off?

If the neighbours had a party that loud at four in the morning I'd be phoning the council.


Sort it out will ya, it's just plain antisocial.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
