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

In our house we're just rude :-)
Still waiting for 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.

I had the KFC experience just once, in Lompoc, California, after that
I understood that KFC was some sort of oil change service. I thought
you had to eat the chicken and throw away the oil, now I understand
better.


It's at least better than a McD... which has absolutely no food in it
whatsoever.

One is supposed to be good for 1500 calories, are you supposed to burn
them in your green house?

I once heard even the Fries are made from reconstituted
corn starch and have never been near a spud in their lives.

Spuds flash fried in the USA ( Nevada test site?) and then refried
locally according to recent reports in teh UK press.

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 :-)

Can McD play a useful roll in a compost bin?
