Yes
Just seen a news thread that reports McDonalds are looking for ways to increase revenue etc.

Includes All Day breakfast menue, loyalty scheme, home and office delivery too.

I have weaned myself off all but a McMuffin, now and then, but if they are available all day = personal disaster....... Home delivery = cardiac disaster

Planning department are about to decide whether to allow a new McD less than a mile away - nooooooo

Dug out this (spit sit) Daily Mail report

I blame

McDonalds
Burger King
Wendy
KFC
Taj Maha Tandoori
Junkboat Chinese

And whe in US - EVERYEHERE
 
Actually, my first full time job was working in a McDonalds and, back then, Egg McMuffins were available all day. I ate a lot of them!

Of course, when you're 18, you can get away with it. Now I'm 48, it wouldn't be such a good idea!

I am 58 and in May 2006 after 4 Cardia Arrests in a week over 3 months in hospital and a triple by pass, it is a treat to have a McMuffin every now and then but only now and then. But the news of home delivery..... nearest McD is 8 miles away unless the planners allow one less than a mile away......

You lucky lucky lucky lucky lucky lucky.....

Seriously my cardiac problem was not caused by food or drugs etc.

I was in Beijing looking at the work they were doing for the Olympics in January 2006. I had a monor part in the London bid on the environmental response. While there I developed viral pneumonia which did not respond to treatment. It went to full pneumonia and in May my pericardial sack flooded and my left ventricular muscle ruptured.

So I needed to redefine my diet as part of rebuilding my fitness.

I am fond of McMuffins but I want to be 110 and talk to younger togs about how we used digital camera in the old days....

But home delivery..... Banana milkshakes.......

I have major md cravings from time to time and the mcmuffin is the worst one, if its there all day I will definitely 'hit that' as it were!
 
I used to work maintenance on a 4 star hotel on the bottom of TCR and early shift had access to full english breakfast from the restaurant but still used to nip to the Macds' next door for Saus&egg macmuffin. Now its the only mac I eat and even then its rare. Oh to be 25 again :)

I remember them. My boss had one which broke into components when he went to his car. The handset plugged into a cradle in the front and the main pack clipped into a cage in the boot.

My Mum would only ever take us to Wimpy as they served on proper plates :D she was funny I do miss her.

Took my first "real" girlfriend to the Wimpy in Brixton South London in 1971.

Wimpy and chips was 2/9 in real money (£0.14). I had all of £1 for my date and she wanted a Wimly Special Grill..... After milkshakes I think I was left with 2 Bob (£0.10) in my pocket. Was a nice evening so I suggested we walked home......

Now if you tell youngsters these days they won't believe you........

Flashback.... Lime Milkshake!!!
