Have you seen the people who eat in KFC? It would need three strong chaps to drag me in there.

Fast food chain KFC is to buck the trend of the credit crunch and create up to 9,000 new UK jobs through a £150m investment programme that will see it open as many as 300 new restaurants over the next three to five years.
We are establising a new education policy in response to Britain's changing employment landscape.
From 2010 the following National Curriculum will be inplace:
Advanced burger flipping - Part of the sports council for deprived areas.
Do you want fries with that? - Marketing and public relations studies.
Large or small Diet Coke - Nutrition and economics.
All these hyper-paid marketing specialist do not appear to understand that the reason people are getting more into fast-food is not because of the product itself but simply because is the cheapest food available.
I can't see any valid reason to invest or create jobs in this sector (unless you believe that recession will last for many many years.... in which case... )
