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.

    • I’m not sure home delivery will replace physical supermarkets. I got the impression that they’re generally loss- making for the retailers and they’d much prefer to encourage customers back to the shops. I read somewhere that the typical Ocado order was around £100 but costs Ocado £120 to fulfill. It works for M&S because they have roped Ocado into a contract where Ocado carry the bulk of the loss.
    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed.
