    Hooray. We can't build Mini's anymore, let's fill buckets full of crap instead. That's right. It's food. But in a bucket. It's finger licking good.

    I'm going now. Time to be sick.

    It mentioned on the news that people were looking at cheaper ways to eat so this was one reason KFC was thriving.

    Blimey you can cook a decent meal for a lot less than the price of a KFC, especially if you have more than just the one mouth to feed!

    Have a look at the Old Style board if you don't believe me.

    Shelf filling please, good exercise if you work fast, relatively solitary and no greasy smell.

    My friend went out with a girl that we nicknamed 'KFC'. FC's post above reminded me, but it's a story best told after 9pm to be honest.

    They have adverts on local radio saying that KFC is the ideal food for your family - the "mains" of chicken and chips that's "good for you", and the "treat" of a cheesecake afterwards. God help anyone stupid enough to believe that :).

    Still, KFC growth could spawn more growth in related sectors such as tracksuit manufacturers and Argos' jewellery.

    I got the figures mixed up when I heard about the extra outlets.

    I told my husband they were opening 9000 new KFC's.

    I said maybe we will get one in our nearest town, he said we'll probably get one in the bl**dy street if they are opening 9000!

    :rolleyes:

    It must be my age, I'm sure I wasn't always this mutton.
