I'm a fatty cause I don't do enough exercise and enjoy one to many beers...whose fault is that....mine or the various brewerys. Sorry just a bugbear of mine when I see an example of people who abrogate responsibilities and blame someone/ corporation for their current circumstance.

Very true, but eliminate the temptation and you go along way to eliminating the problem, it's not as though we need Maccas, is it

Then it's up to the parents to moderate the crap food, we all eat it, some just eat more than others

So what are you going to do if your kids grow up and start wearing leopard skin boxers?

Ill wait till I see it, both my son in leopard skin boxers and smaller burgers at maccas

The only reason I go into Macca's is to make use of the free wifi. It's great, you don't have to even buy anything. That said the espresso coffee isn't too bad but I won't buy anything else.

WiFi and Coffee - how geeky is that


Anyway there's no Macca's, KFC (PFK if you're from Quebec) or Hungry Jacks within cooee. Would you believe the local scouts etc do fund raising drives and fly in hundreds of kilo's of KFC and have done the same with Macca's.

What is wrong with people? Don't they understand what real food is?

He also said that since these changes were announced to the store managers 40 odd managers had quit in protest in Sydney alone. Must be trying to make up the money they lost pulling out of Iceland last week. Well it back to the fish and chip shop for a real burger.

well I will throw my five cents in here...BTW that is how much the Quarter burger will be reduced by in price

the bun has never been 6" it was 4.5" down to 4" ..yes the same size bun as across the board except the Angus bun so I think the manager you were talking to was fresh behind the ears or just doing a good stir job

Dont take this the wrong way Baz, but I'm pretty sure you dont speak for everyone!

I dont mind macca's every so often, especially the breakfasts or coffee. If stupid people can't control themselves, the only people they have to blame are themselves.

Gotta agree with the "Heart Attack Grill". Spuds cooked in lard is the ONLY way to go.
