We’re not loving it — oh no we’re not.

25 McDonalds restaurants in Britain have been forced to close due to poor sales! That’s a decline of £22 million in global profit. I’ve never really been a McDonalds eater anyway or one of those kids that badgered their folks into taking them every weekend. Stef used to throw pretty big tantrums when I was going through my ‘Mum I’m not eating anything that goes towards funding the IRA’ phase. I didn’t even know what the IRA was at the time ha. I think I must have just liked her sulking.

To be honest I’m not at all surprised that sales are declining. Growing economies are bound to bring changes, introduce more competition etc etc. Plus with all the health advice and Morgan Spurlock shoved in our face these days is it any wonder that people are turning more towards the salad bar at Marks and Spencers? Eating McDonalds, to some extent has become a dirty sin not the weekend treat it used to be but lets keep things in perspective, is £22 million really a major dent in their net profits? Not necessarily methinks.
