Two weeks of offers at McDonald's, starting tomorrow. A chance to relive my crap-eating twenties. :D
Dude. Explore your culinary expertise. A better option is a home-made burger and Sainsbury (other supermarkets are available but probaby use the same supplier) fries. Just don't get sloshed and leave the fat on high. :D
But, seriously, Mac is easy and a good consistent standard. But you can do better yourself, although maybe not so conveniently. Certainly that is the case here. Deliveroo and Just Eat don't exist. My nearest Mac is 3 miles.
Mac for me, yuck, never ... glad mine is more than 10 miles away.

I found a £1 coin. I'd like to think it was a penny shaver's hard work. :D

Tobacconists that keep a firm grip of your cigarettes until the card transaction is accepted!!

It's not as if I was gonna open the pack and light one up on the spot!
Just purchased some cigarettes, she handed them over to me before I could even get my wallet out!

That tells you everything you need to know about a woman. :D

The risk is people running off without paying, I guess she felt she could beat you to the door and take you down if you'd tried to leg it.

Purchased some cigarettes again. The girl who served me this time called me darling three times and finished with love. :D

I guess for us non-smokers this is an odd sub-thread, but I'm shocked how expensve cigs are. But for the nefarious they really are worth nicking. Light, compact. Perhaps the fact they are locked away is only partly to do with the state trying to discourage smoking.

It's daylight robbery. I don't even know how much of my £11.60 is duty.

This guy apparently gave his customers a discount on their MOT if they got a prostate cancer check-up.
We need more people like him I think. Proactive charity!

I'd have probably stopped at half that if it was me at the controls but this guy's got bigger ball bearings.

Thanks but I know most of it will go back soon, or I'll flatline for a fortnight. I'm pretty numb about big ups and downs and this was definately a blue moon event. In the real world, vs bsp it should have only been about 400 quid so it's very much borrowed money.

This was one of DALL-E's earlier attempts at a robot horse trader :lol:
