Hey GetReal:
I didn't say I *ATE* at those McDs and BKs in the UK...But they
were on almost every corner. (Man, talk about Americanized...check
out Picadilly Square, which is home to just about every american
chain store and fast food chain on the planet!)
OK, I will admit I at at BK one night (it was late, and I wasn't
in the mood to track down something better). I ate lunch at KFC
one day (BIG mistake--even worse than KFC in the US). And I took
my daughter to McDs so she could get a Happy Meal with a Monsters Inc
toy in it...But it seems almost criminal to eat at these places
when there are so many good curry houses around...
Yeah...the VAT. The hidden killer. I can't understand why these places
are so popular over here, though, given the prices (and the overall
lower salaries in the UK vs. the US for the same job).
