Up until 2008 no two countries that both have a McDonald's have gone to war with each other.  In that regard I would commend their efforts to promote world peace.

Their food is still crap though.

The Maccy Ds in Skopje, North Macedonia actually closed for lack of interest.

Last time I was there two years ago the Macedonians were going to get a KFC and a Burger King though

What do you order?  

I love a hard fired morning roll with butchers lorne.   

McDonald do a thing where you get a burger with an egg and cheese in a horrible muffin.   

I view McDonalds as a coffee shop because that's all I order.

I don't speak Italian.  What in the Croissant?  

It's Giovanni's secret, he wouldn't tell me. It was that marvellous little roadside cafe I mentioned, well off the beaten path, you won't know it.

The United Kingdom is the most obese nation in Europe.

The United Kingdom has had the most Covid-19 deaths in the EU 

Covid-19 is bad news if you're morbidly obese.

A slight easing of the lockdown leads to 5 hour queues for McDonald's.

Sheesh

I had no idea I meant that, but I suppose everything is left open to interpretation if you are of a certain bias.

Switch that around and maybe I could read into your reply that you don't see the point in teaching kids how to cook burgers when there's a perfectly good McDonalds ten minutes drive away with a two hour wait.

I bet you I’m better at cooking than you are. I’d make you look a right fool.

In France and Spain you can get a beer in McDonalds.

In Austria you can get a half decent cake. 

Forgot the point I was trying to make there

That's half the plot of Pulp Fiction tbf.

smafu would probably feed beefburgers to swans if he knew how to cook them in the first place.  

Bet he still wears Lynx Java 

Agreed. Snafu queues up at Next on Boxing Day to buy a shumper and a pair of bootcut jeans*.

Useless people teaching their offspring to be useless too and the joys of comfort food. You would think parents would use the lockdown to teach their kids the importance of how to cook or at least learn the basics, this is some of the knowledge passed down from parent to child as it should be. But what if the parent has no knowledge to pass down?

We did some knife skills last week.

I for one am astonished to discover that the WHO's early praise for China's efforts on covid-19 was empty smoke-blowing.

China's government is a danger to the world. This will happen again. We're at twice this century already.

They say that about democracies while conveniently forgetting Britain declaring war against Finland and actually invading Iceland.

The Faroes Islands as well!  However none of them had a McDonald's. 

Come to think of it the British Empire flourished when nobody had a McDonald's and Britain was free to invade any country it liked.

Oh dear. Maybe I am taking this a bit far. 😊

The documentary "Super Size Me" by Morgan Spurlock is interesting.  He tries to a month living on food from McDonald's.  

On one occasion he tried to pull a prank on a friend.  He bought a hamburger and hid it behind the bookshelf at his friend's house expecting it to cause an awful smell before his friend could find it.

Six months later his friend phoned to ask if he had made a secret visit.  His friend had found the hamburger and it still looked very much like a hamburger.

Gives you an idea what is in it.

Aye because if you have a McDonalds once in a while it means you’re useless and don’t know how to cook. Ridiculous statement.

ETA: Up yours, Snafu
