two days ago (im on a weeks holiday from work) i travelled up to london to finally se the musical SUNNY AFTERNOON, as i managed to get a last minute cheap ticket. After the show I had a drink in a pub with a couple of elderly Aussies who were at then show and then headed over to china town. I found that the eating places there did not really cater much for the single diner so i ended up in a mcdonalds, and found ot I could not work the stupid touch screen, so had to eat in a tacky kebab place :-( so much for modern living! Oh come on YoYo pull the other one.. They can't be that difficult to work. Surely they're idiot proof?! Was the touch screen broken or summat?

I reckon in such cases for alcohol troubled incapables (Minder!) they need a panic button which defaults to Big Mac Meal, served to table of course with free sick bag.

Would have to got for MacD's as its more affordable. BK is just so expensive. The freebie papers are always dishing out £1.99 Big Mac & Fries vouchers.

Breaking News in Austria today ... apparently the delivery of free giveaway Big Mac Christmas socks for 2017 has been delayed and you won't be able to get any until Thursday. I bet Burger King can!t match that.

Ignore him woodster, he's on a health fix down Subway. Actually I refuse to eat at Subway. I once went into one in Preston in November 2007, it was the first time I'd been into one and I didn't like the system of queueing. It made me feel like one of the robomen from Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150 AD. So I walked out and have never been in one since. ..Plus at Subway they don't have paper crowns like you get in Burger King.

What I don't like about Subway is that when you get in there, they assume you just know how it works. Their choice of language assumes you come there all the time, I don't.

Yes, I thought I was the only one who felt like that. Their choices are quite complicated, and it can be a off-putting. Maybe the (part-time?) staff get tired of having to explain everything I myself work in a job where there are many different ticket and fare options, and it can make your mind go blank

Good point chaps,subways temporary staff haven't the courtesy or attitude to be bothered to simplfy for you what you want. As these temps in these fast food joints are only using it as a means to an end...carnt be bothered.

In a town called Tulln in Austria today...has anyone else seen a log fire in their local McDonalds? Whatever happened to Ronald McDonald, the Hamburglar, Officer Big Mac and Grimace?

To me, Wendy's is better than McDonalds or Burger King. My first job was working at Burger King. Their meats and fries aren't what they were when I worked there, and I can't really stomach eating there any longer. I don't like McDonald's fries but will occasionally get a burger.
A step up from all three of these is Five Guys Burgers and Fries, but I doubt that chain has hit the UK.

I mentioned earlier in this thread that the Aussies call Burger King "Hungry Jack's".

Wow, Five Guys expanded fast. They've only been in my area a few years and they're already going global.

Even got a Five Guys in Aberdeen, never been in it though as they don't do veggie burgers, or at least didn't.
