Hey I didn't say we buy any! :-) We're just rude every time we see a
sign...

I think that I've only had it three times in my life. And one of those
was a roadside place in the middle of a snowstorm in the US, and we
just needed to eat *something* in case we got stuck.

It's at least better than a McD... which has absolutely no food in it
whatsoever. I once heard even the Fries are made from reconstituted
corn starch and have never been near a spud in their lives.
Then again we call *them* rat on a stick (with apologies to Terry
Pratchett).

I'm going to go and answer an on-topic thread now :-)
