Have you ever seen a McDs close down?
Speaking gibberish on internet talkboards since last Michaelmas. Plus here on Twitter -
I once walked for an hour to get to a McD in France only to discover it was closed (too early), so I walked for an hour to the next one and that was a drive-thru only. D'oh! -

I went to a McDonalds once and said to the oik behind the counter
"I heard on the Internet you serve pigs arseholes and bulls bell-ends?"
He said
"Yeah, we'll serve anyone here"

Plus they have WiFi and toilets. I always check out where the McD's are when I go abroad. Very handy.Comment

Yuck. On an unrelated topic, what does the panel think of Hellmann's mayonnaise? I bought some instead of my usual Salad Cream (Heinz I think) for a salad mix. Didn't taste at all good. Maybe it's not meant to be used like salad cream? Anyway it's destined for the bin I think.Comment

They also closed the Wilmslow McD's a two floor joby, I can even remeber the place opening circa 1984 and going in on the first day.Last edited by Bumfluff; 17 November 2010, 21:36.Comment

The one in Durham city centre closed down, within 5min walk of about 4 university colleges, which always seemed an odd choice considering it had a captive market.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Yes. They closed the one down in our train station a few years ago and turned it into a €1 shop. A couple of years later it opened again over the road in the pub I used to drink in on a Friday (as Alf Pruffrock used to as well). Mind you, you can get a beer in Mcdonalds here and the latest special is a sausages (Nürnburger) with scrambled egg.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
