FLY2 10,108 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I can honestly say I've only frequented Mc's a couple of times. Once in London, and once when stranded in Algeciras on a Bank Holiday. I'd rather starve !!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Even with $1000 fines if you're caught littering the highways, we still have a mess alongside the roads Lizzie. LOL And most litter is from those from fast food cups, bottles and dirty diapers..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted June 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 The Clifton thing is now complete and all operating. On the site which used to be the Clifton Car Co and the Man of Trent pub, there is now a group of three consecutive fast food places. A Tesco Express (within the petrol station), a KFC, and a Macdonalds. Is there anywhere else where you can get all three so close? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 It is the public who deposit the rubbish NOT the fast food outlets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheTramp 139 Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Bubblewrap @ 81. I dont want to wind you up but down at the old Lough hospital site is a board bragging about 8 family eating places! coming in. and an 8 screen cinema. The human race will die of eating and sitting. and by the way in Viccy Centre Nottm is a board telling all those odd peeps who can read that in there is planned 12 " family orientated" restaurants. It's going to take some getting used to --- this rejunivated Nottingham Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Yes there is red, can only think of two off the top of my head. Being a clean living christian Bulwell lad I have never had the desire or inclination to visit one of these "dens of iniquities" ! As such, I can honestly say that I have never put a bet on in my life ! Nipping out to Bulwell soon with Mrs Catfan, will have a look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 10 to 1 I bet there's more than two!! LOL, Ian. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chulla 4,946 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Catfan. I would imagine that there are a lot of souls want saving in Bulwell. How many religious outlets are there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barclaycon 569 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Re #82 It's been a while since I was in Loughborough, but having gone to college there in the 70's and seen it develope over the years, I imagine that the large student population has determined the high number of shops / fast food outlets. I know that at one time Loughborough had more pubs per square mile than any other town in England. They were still building more when I left - with new developments out towards Hathern (including a Davenports pub). As an impoverished student I learnt the technique of turning up to bakeries about 5.30 p.m. to get the stuff that they were chucking away. I doubt whether that happens anymore. Places like Greggs aren't even real bakeries. It's all pre-packeged stuff. Some Greggs don't even sell loaves. The 'world takeover' strategy that Tesco's and Sainsburys undertook has been reigned back a lot now. They closed some stores here in London, and some of the plans for big outlets have been cancelled. It's really not going to go back to the way it was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
banjo48 928 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Picture in #79 could be easily any main road in suburban Oz, most if not all our shopping centers have almost identical setups. 2 or 3 food outlets, a fuel station come mini mart, usually attached to one of the big supermarket chains.

Chulla 4,946 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I can remember when it had two cinemas and a place you could see women with no clothes on! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I love Catfans banter about Bulwell..then Benjamin jumps in- it makes me cracks me up...should have 'her own thread.Amenities seem all to be accounted for,is there a massage parlour as well as a Polski Slep??
