Current dietary restriction

The local MickeyD's has been torn down to make way for something new.
I though perhaps an intimate French bakery with attitude or one of the nudist places like you have in London.
But no - it will be a new MickeyD's designed for the 21st century!
Probably this means robots (which is a shame since it is a major employer around here).

The one in the town centre -as opposed to the five or so not in the town centre- has recently been upgraded to an Argos style of service. You go in and are immediately confronted by a wall of menu and various 'food' choices. You pay and get a ticket with a number on so that when your order is ready they can holler the number across the place. They have to holler to be heard over all racket made by a place full of bl**dy noisy kids.

Progress, eh? Who needs it?

I actually decided to try their products the other week for the first time in years...and found it was still sh*te. Much prefer Burger King, with or without the horsemeat!

Are there no 'normal' food outlets in your area?

Noooooo.......It would mean almost doubling back. (Two sides of a triangle sort of thingy.)

I.ve never heard of, or seen, a MickeyD's.

I had to do some investigating before I sussed who it was, Andy. 

I'd never heard them called that before either.

Not sure what planet you are on but the one I am on has McDonalds and always has. My kids are in their 30's and they still call it McDonalds (they still eat from there) and every other country (quite a few) that we've taken them too has McDonalds too. Maybe Mickey D's is a bit more regional than you think.

Thought it was MaccyD's? 

[Leman]

Well on Merseyside it's just plain Maccy's, and I don't know a great deal about it as the food is vile, along with KFC, Burger King, etc.. At least the Phillipinos have shown some sense. MacDroppings might be a better name.

Glad I have added to the cultural diversity of the forum
MickeyD's = home of the golden arches.
Wally World = WalMart
Burger Death = Burger Chef (prior to its demise)
BK (regionally pronounced "BeeKee") = Burger King - I don't always eat burgers but when I do, like Leman, it's BK.
