    A couple who cruise almost twelve months of yearreported: "We've seen most of the ports -- and so we just takewalks, stroll, inhale the local culture. But we have an addedpurpose. We search for a McDonalds or a Burger King and just have acup of coffee."

    There is nothing wrong with a burger but the cow that produced the meat for the burger does not have to have died of old age before being processed.
    I will admit to having had a bacon & egg McMuffin earlier on this year when on a road trip that was acceptable just. At least there is a salad option now as well so they are upping their game.

    Tea, who the bloody hell drinks that stuff??? And I might add it is a long way to go for a cuppa!!


    Most likely wrapped chicken and salad at a guess.

    I have never ever been in a MacD, or any other take away type of café.
    never ever go into an Indian , Afghan or Pakistani Chinese Italian or French restaurants..
    I only use British type of Restaurants, in UK USA Australia , NZ etc,.

    I do know what I am missing that is why I do not use them.
