Who dares...............to admit that they occasionally go to MacDonalds?
One of the pages of What's on TV this week offers a voucher for BOGOF on Big Mac meals

the last tiem we went was just after we moved here and couldn't find anywhere else on the outskirts of carmarthen
had a rather strange thing called a melt and have to say we have found somewhere else since then...........
but when i was young it was THE place to go wasn't it

Not been there for years but when the children were little and we had to go into town for shoe shopping we would sneak in there for "a treat".
Am ashamed to say that we all loved it. I'm convinced there is something added to the "food" that is addictive and makes you want to go back for more. Maybe monosodium glutimate?
Wouldn't be seen dead in there now. Not without a bag over my head anyway

Hate the place and to my knowledge I can't remember ever eating anything from there. Greenman worked there for 3 yrs and since he left has never set foot in one since.

yuck.
As a child, when i knew no better, mum would take us there as a treat for lunch. but then my vegetarianism started when i was about 10 or 11 and someone told me they put horsemeat in burgers, so i stopped eating them.
i can't remember when i last ate there, but years and years ago.
they do put something in it to make you want more - have you seen "supersize me"? aparently their salads are higher in calories than a big mac.
i will never ever take j there. he will probably want to go when he's a rebelious teenager, though!

We used to get chips there occasionally if the kids were out late some nights, but if we went inside to sit down, they were allowed chips and sometimes ice cream but we've always had a no burgers policy (unless home-made). No sucky-lollies either. About the two rules of childhood I ever stuck to. I've never had a burger there either, never stepped inside a KFC, though I did use to love Wimpey Bar cheeseburgers when I was in my teens.

now Macdonalds is a corporation that I truely dislike. My OH insists on using their 'facilities' whenever he is caught short ... I think its his own private protest 
I've been vegetarian for almost 20 years so not been in since I was a teenager. I'm very proud that I have never had a Big Mac.

oh, and bizzarely I often used to get coupons for BOGOF or money off etc. I think it was my catchment area (the road I used to live on was predominently council).

have to say that in other countries when i have been to macdonalds their salads have been fresh and not too bad....
not so here where they always seem limp and uninteresting
they do nice fries, very thing and crisp if that is what your preference is but i have to say, there are so many other places that are so much better now that we have no need to use them...........

I used to work in Maccys for a while too.
I still go in, on rare occations if I need to. Iquite like it once in a while.
I quite like kebabs too

everybody has to have junk food every once in a while
it is a fact of life
apart from when i had a holiday in turkey i have never had a kebab
have i missed something?

proberbly not.
I don't think about how they are made once I've had a few drinks at the pub.
We only go to one place, near where we used to live, when we are at my in laws.
You always have indigestion afterwards, although that could be the drink!

I can't eat kebabs. I had one just before a big car accident, and it's kind of like association, if you see what I mean.

i would agree with you there....there is nothing like fish and chips from the paper with salt and vinegar while you are sitting on the sea front at aldeburgh.....

Definitely. I think one of last year's favourite meals would have to be the fish and chips we had one day during our summer holiday staying at Alison's farm.
Legs dangling over the harbour wall in Ilfracombe, warm sunshine and watching the children with their buckets and crablines.
Delicious.

Well I have to agree there, not the fish but the chips. I was bought up living opposite a fish and chip shop so it's like a nostalgia thing for me too.

Our nearest MacD's is 25 miles away so we will occasionally call for a 'scooby snack' if I'm shopping with the kids. Fries and banana milk shake once a year or so can't be that bad.
