    18 years ago (come August bank holiday) KFC very nearly killed me with their chicken breast burger that (according to the environmental health inspectors) had not only been inproperly stored (frozen, defrosted, frozen, defrosted) but was so badly contaminated it wouldn't have been fit for animal consumption, never mind human ...

    I suppose there are some good things though, I did lose 2.5 stone in weight during the 3 weeks I was in hospital, and it put me off eating meat for life (seriously!) so there are a few more chickens and pigs running around that might not have otherwise been!

    I thoroughly recommend giving KFC a wide-berth!!

    A piece of Popcorn Chicken is approx a 1cm round ball (or less). Inch - Inch and a half?!?!? Don't think so. :rotfl:

    Genuinely not meaning to be rude or sarcastic but are you sure that you aren't getting your inches and centimetres mixed up?

    1 cm is about the size of a galaxy minstrel and from what I could tell the chicken pieces varied in size. Either that or you are getting cheated in your town!

    KFC are quite good at customer service, drop them an email and they will almost certainly send you some vouchers :D

    I might try that... KFC here are awful!

    Things don't get given to you, or they're cold, or you see the person putting your dinner together scratching their bum _pale_

    Needless to say we tend to avoid it!

    That wasn't Popcorn Chicken then. I still stand by the size of 1cm. 1 inch is WAAAAAAAAY too big for Popcorn Chicken. It is the same as a kernel of Popcorn, hence the name.
    I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂

    Too much info!

    Am i just thinking dirty or did you use a really poor choice of words when talking about a male genetal inuendo?:o;)

    I must be more innocent (or maybe naive is more like it) than i thought. You're gooing to have to explain that one to me. Or at least drop a few strong hints :rotfl:

    I remember saying to a guy at work that was really into tesco egg mayonaise. I said it may contain shell (as the packaging stated) and he never ate it again.
    There are many products that do not contain nuts, but the packaging states that it may contain nuts.
    The CM/Inch thing I think your both a bit mixed up. The thickness of a minstrel may be around 1 CM, but the length will be closer to 2 CM.
    If I was offered a million pounds to hide a 1 inch straight piece of bone in a piece of popcorn chicken, I would lose. It then grew to an inch and a half.
    When you start to exaggerate, you lose credability.
    And there is absolutely no way that is a teeny tiny rant.

    I'm sorry but we really are going to have to disagree. Popcorn is bigger than 1cm. Are you a Borrower:think:?

    It was a joke hinging on **ahem** 'anal probing'

    how an 'inch' is a lot to a bloke (guess where?!) then comment about how 'my butt will never be the same' :rotfl::rotfl:
