I don't go to McDonalds as a rule (if i wanted flaccid bread and grey meat I'd.. no, I'm not willing to continue that analogy...)

The last time I went to one it was a scuzzy edge-of-town retail park in a town a few km north of Angers in France (which, true to tradition, they'd been advertising for the previous 40km.)

A filthy touring cyclist at 8:30pm on a drizzly Friday night in a French McDonalds ordering a salad. Based upon how confused the serving girl looked, I think I must have been the first person ever to order one. Surrounded by les adolescents, to them I must have looked like what the Telegraph thinks of Jeremy Corbyn.

I ended up riding for much of the night to hide my shame and then slept in a ditch. #NeverAgain
Boom, there's yer anecdote.

(It's 4:42am, give me a break)

Actually, I was thinking of you (I think it was anyway) when watching the cycling in the veleodrome, as I remember you posting about going along to it.

I imagine the Chris Hoy track will be packed out yet again with people wantng to give it a try, so, I think I will give it a miss for now until it has calmed down once more.

You have me confused for someone else, I've never been to the velodrome (although I really want to try it, but have The Fear about riding fixie, forgetting that I can't freewheel and being thrown over the bars)

I do have the occasional chain meal, never McDs though, I prefer the flavour and texture of Burger King, and they put real salad in, also the chips are cut thicker which I prefer. Mostly though I go for a KFC Zinger burger, it's more to my taste. I tend to have them as a lunch when I'm out on business and I select my Motorway service station accordingly. BTW M40 Oxford Services is my favourite.

I went to KFC for the first time in 20 years recently, it'll be another 20 before i go back.
Couldn't say when I last went to BK, life's too short to wait that long for fast food!
McDonalds, wouldn't pay for their excuse for 'chips' (my general view of skinny fries, what's the point) but I'll nick a few if 'dining' with a friend. Their cheeseburgers are edible if no alternative available and I do like a caramel/toffee sundae (they are better in Germany though as those Green Germans serve them in a v tasty big cone rather than a plastic pot :okay: )
