When I was last in the States (07), McDs was seen as a chavvy, ASBOish option by most people. At least it was in Denver and SoCal. They might not be the healthiest country, but there are so many other options for fast food, that the pecking order is much different.

As for eating it, I haven't for years, and I won't be if I can help it. It's properly evil IMO.

Yep, In and Out Burger seems to be "the" burger restaurant to go to these days.

It's interesting to note McD's advertising here in the UK is currently all about how they source all their produce for UK "restaurants" from the UK. I give the company credit for that, and at least trying to make healthier options available on their menus.

Personally, I'd rather eat rat droppings in slime (which was on the menu, apparently, at a local outlet a couple of years ago) than go into a Maccie Dee.

Only if you're lucky enough to be in California, though.

Some are quite good. I used to like the variety meals. In fact KFC were the last fast food restaurant that I ate at.

Absolutely, if you are in California it's one of the things to try wherever you go, all the meat is fresh and never frozen (hence only in Cali) and the hidden menu has some gems

how long does it take for a relativly large parcel to arrive from USA to this island? by UPS, bought a rather awesome "toy" (ww2 siren) and cant wait for it to arrive

Depends what shipping you paid for.
I'm guessing a week or so providing it doesn't get held up by customs wondering wtf it is

Here's a thought Bratty, check with who you bought it from or check directly on the UPS website.

Plus Fed Ex > UPS. Might as well be USPS for the time it'll take.

Of course when you do get it, make sure you post a video on YouTube with you operating it whilst wearing your gas mask. I can't wait.

In other news, where the [LIFTED] does everybody get off telling me the "Conservative government are going to sort out all this health and safety nonsense". If you weren't so [LIFTED] irresponsible with your kids and grandkids in my pool, there wouldn't need to be laws on supervision ratios.

Bidding on a Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim. If I dont win it I'll get the Superheadz copy.

I asked the guy selling the Vivitar UWS a few days ago how much he wanted. He said he'd already had an offer of £35+p&p so I'd need to make a better offer. Strange then that I won it for £19

They may have had a best offer, but once someone bids the make an offer option disappears. Hence you can make a winning bid lower than the offer.

Want.
