I suspect that Subways new business model follows that of Dr Raven Sable (Famine) in Good Omens.

The Good Omens Lexicon

As a fan of TP it was unsurprising that I loved that book- the big surprise was when an ancestor of mine was mentioned as an author of predictions (he was an author but to my knowledge never did predictions)

The bread is what puts me off Subway. It always seems to consist of some sawdust concoction. Strange, as they put emphasis on a choice of breads, but it always tastes foul.

Is that in Hamburg?

Not many people know this -
Subway is an outlet that sell 'subs', and subs were sold years before by sandwich shops. In those days a 'sub' was a roll, stuffed with gear, called a 'sub' because it resembled a submarine hull.
In Germany, you will never find a subway, or a shop selling 'subs', but I would heartily recommend a 'U-257' torpedo from the 'Dive Dive - dive' in the 'UberAllestrasses' in Wlhemshaven.

Thank you. I shall print that and look at it every time I have a Mac Attack.

I love MaccyD's. I genuinely think I'm addicted. It got so bad a few years back that I had to visit different restaurants because I was going so often it got embarrassing.

Several times a day often?

Can you lend us £2.99 for a Subway?

2 Ltd companies - Big deal.
self employed business - you're a contractor
3 contracts & offer of a fourth - asked to fix your mate's PC isn't a contract offer
Ebay business, import business - import something and sell it on eBay, instant "business" credentials

Look Doogie. I understand how it is. Everyone has money problems at some time. I once needed to borrow a tenner to go to the pub as I hadn't been paid. I was only 17 though.

If you want to borrow some cash for MaccyD's just ask. I'm sure Dimprawn can do you a deal through Zopa. With your age and credit rating though, it's going be about 35% per week plus you'll need to put your wife up as collateral.

Not a fan of KFC. The taste is fine but the chicken ain't. My McD meal of choice would be a box of 20 nuggets and a large coffee though.

I was a cook in KFC for a couple of years. Then tended to put the students in with the burny machines and left the dross out front shop where they the worst they could do was piss of a customer rather than burn an arm off or blind someone.

Chicken was real cheap tulip, I think they were only 10 weeks old when they were slaughtered, used to steal bags of the secret mix and cook it with decent chicken meat at home.

Rarely eat out of any of these places, not so because they are poor quality food, it is because they are everywhere and I resent that more.

[TimberWolf]

I can't bring myself to go into one, there seems to be one on every street corner in the city these days ( I noticed a similar trend in China with KFCs), as for McDonalds I've only been twice in over 30 years.

I've only been in a KFC once IIRC. Oh, hang on I did also buy some fries in one a couple of years ago, steadfastly avoiding the chicken that time, but the potion was minuscule and not very good. Expensive too.
