philmayfield 6,115 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Nothing better than a Big Mac when you’re really hungry. They’re rubbish really but on the rare occasions when the urge comes over you and you see the golden arch you’ve just got to have one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quite possibly Compo. Back in 1988 my 90 year old grandmother asked me to take her to a McDonalds as she’d never had one before. She really enjoyed the food and the outing. About once every couple of years I get the urge for a soggy burger and fries and really enjoy it but that’s enough for me, just occasional. KFC is a fast food I just can’t eat. Tried it twice, once in Tobago and once while travelling in a minibus through London late at night with a load of friends who were all starving. I might have eaten one little bit but will certainly never bother again. You stick to good wholesome grub Compo, you’re not missing much. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,644 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 No Compo, you aren't. I have never eaten in a McDonald's or any other burger "joint". When I moved away from England I thought how nice it was to be away from these products of the American dross culture but, like all evil, it pervades the whole of society and there are McDonald's "restaurants" (huh) all over the place. I shiver every time I see that fat "M" sign. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Me neither, I refused to take the kids when they where little, they now send me photos when visiting. It is a bit of a standing joke with my mates (I refuse to eat sausage as well) after a stag weekend in Magaluf I did join the very long Burger King queue at the airport, when I got to the counter I could not do it, ordered a bag of fruit! 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,427 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 I'd have managed to resist it too, Phil. Re burger joints. I stay away from 'em. Never really enjoyed any of their stuff although I ate there in the past when I was young and foolish. Based on 'super sized' Americans who seem to eat there all the time, I'll keep avoiding them.

FLY2 10,108 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 A Big Mac once in a while as Lizzie says is fine, but several a week as I know some folks do is just asking for a coronary. Me ? Two in 72 years, but only in emergencies. Stuck in Algeciras one Bank Holiday when nowhere else was open, and during the Queens Jubilee after the concert on the Mall. As previously stated, soggy, ......... But tasty ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We got off the ferry from Brittany Sunday night and shortly afterwards there was a loud screech and a bump from the trailer that was carrying two boats. A wheel bearing had seized. RAC should have brought the trailer with boats home this afternoon but they arrived unexpectedly last night. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Had two minor "Results" today. First of all at Tescos. I always park at the end of the car park where it is least popular owing to the distance one has to walk to the store entrance - it's all of 30 seconds further than the nearest place. This morning I emptied my trolley in to the car and went to the trolley bay, which happens to be the least used in the car park. Upon depositing my trolley, I noticed another with a soggy cardboard packet inside. A closer inspection revealed a pack of ten Tunnocks tea cakes that had obviously been there all nightt. The box was damp and limp but the contents were perfectly dry - Bingo! result - even better than roadkill The second "result" was in Poundstretchers. The assistant suggested that I take advatage of a checkout counter offer of ten Cadbury's caramel biscuits for £1. She counted them out for me whilst I was packing the remainder of my shopping and lo! When I got home there were eleven biscuits in my bag - the counter assistant had miscounted. Obviously, I was not going to drive 9 miles back to town for one ten penny biscuit, so I say "result" 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
