McDonalds struggling

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Hope they go bankrupt ,the amount of damage they have done to the rain forest and everywhere else they get their animals from,they are a fucking stain on the world

I get what you’re saying but a double sausage and egg McMuffin is amazing when you’ve got a hangover.

30 years of driving up and down from Cornwall and the most noticeable thing has been the transition into this fast food shit. As years went by, the best stop points at service stations got replaced by the above shit. Ironically, it seems like the fast food chains are starting to be phased out of the US hotspots as more come chains come into England.

Gloucester services on the M5 is still a decent place to stop, but most places are pretty soulless these days.

The biscuits are better

Remember when the services sold proper breakfast ..... trays of sausage, bacon, eggs, etc etc under hot lights

You'd eat the lot before you got to the cash register and just pay for a brew.

The biscuits savoury scones are better

Fixed it for you ;-)

I'll tell you what's good for a hangover, and this is going to sound weird but....
BLT with chips n gravy. Lot's of mayo on the BLT.

Always need a lot of mayo on the finest toasted sandwich of all time

Greek diners do the best. I think they put a bit of cinamonamon in the gravy.
It just works.

Sadly it closed its doors a long time ago.

They’ve been struggling a while because their cheap meals aren’t cheap anymore, that’s why you see deals popping up on tv. Haven’t had one in over a year thank god even my daughter doesn’t want them anymore. Fast food is supposed to be cheap a bit like chippy tea it’s getting too expensive now as an alternative to cooking and people are switching, thank god.

The thing is while fish and chips from a proper chippy isn’t “cheap” anymore, when you think about, a tenner for a large filling meal made of pretty much just three fresh ingredients made in front of you from a small independent business isn’t a bad deal.

Compared that to about 8 quid for a McDonald’s meal these days!

Go there quite a bit and you’re right, but fuck me it’s expensive!

Part of my job is entertaining clients and taking them to pretty much the poshest restaurants in London - I more often than not think ‘meh’ to the meal I get and get a Burger King on the way home from Waterloo.

Many times I've gone out to posh places and ended up with a kebab on the way home.

100 quid for two fingernails, an egg cup of mash and a glass of the Chefs fart.

It's the biggest fucking con ever.

Fine dining. You come out hungrier than when you went in.

Weren't they taken over and some poncey chef redesigned the menu...a good while ago

I agree it was just my point that it used to be helluva lot cheaper than now, like everything prices have rocketed and it doesn’t seem to be stopping. Fridays used to be chippy night regularly, not anymore.
