Maybe this should come under, what the hell were they thinking?

Thomson's charge has risen to £213. He has been threatened with court action and received a letter from a debt collection company. He said that neither he nor any member of his family would eat at the chain again.
Do ya think?

Eat your discoid lunch, and get the hell out, eh?
You know, I'm beginning to think that we need to start combating this nonsense with good, old-fashioned civil disobedience. Order a Happy Meal every 45 minutes for three days, and set up camp. Something like that.
Best,
George

Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

George,
Sounds like a good idea, but after 3 days of that crap, your hair would probably fall out and you might start growing scales!!

Oh my goodness! Where has this world come to...?! I'm not quite sure if laughing or crying is more approriate response to that. Some people do eat a lot faster than others and some have disability, which makes them move a lot more slowly that the rest. Common sense, hello, where are you???

Well, near as I can tell, they don't say you actually have to eat it. A person could stack it up in a tidy, slowly mouldering pyramid, say....

That would actually help them....I'm sure they would love it if you bought a happy meal that often. The article doesn't say anything about having to buy something to park there. I would get 2 sets of people. Park for 44 minutes, pull out, the next set comes in and parks for 44 minutes. Fill the parking lot. Over flow it. Get enough people and you can clog the whole thing.

£213= like a billon U.S. dollars now, thanks to the latest gov. wipe my ass bailout.
Oh ya, I forgot...I can not personally verify this story.
And oh double ya...this was by no means any kind of dis to the british people....we can be such nards of our own...we don't need help...lol

maybe we the customer should start issuing them fines in return for not providing us the services they say they do.
I used drive thru the other day and spent 17mins in the drive thru lane waiting in my car to order and pick up!!
and this was at 9pm with only 1 other car there!!!
And i thought this was meant to be FAST FOOD!

Zounds. 
If this were happening here, it would be 24/7 cable news. Such is the state of things here.
Makes you want to borrow some cars.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Tony,
You folks (Brits) have a whole bunch of stuff that I find would just make to much sense in the States. There are some laws and rules in the US that would leave you scratching your head.
Putting a time limit on eating is about the same as putting a time limit on what comes out the other end Both should not be done!
-P.
