    Not a McD fan, no different in France either other than you can get beer in the meal deal.

    A Royale with Cheese.

    They are. He's even cuter at the moment, because he's asleep.

    I would rather take Uma's adrenaline shot in the chest than eat the Royale with Cheese :D

    Don't forget Le Big Mac

    But what so they call a Whopper?

    Seriously, if you're going to import stuff into UK McDonalds, it had better be the Swiss Cheese and mushrooms burger. Or the fabled McRib

    I went to a McD's in Greece once, the menu was exactly the same as ours.

    The only difference was, the place was empty!

    I do hate the way that all of their "restaurants" are identical. We used to have a fab branch at Surrey Quays, it was just like an American diner, with a jukebox, a statue of Elvis and a beautiful American car in the window. There were 50's prints on the walls and it was a great place to take the kids. Then they had a refit and now it is just brown and green like every other McD's in the country. Boring, boring.

    The McDs in Bury Town Centre used to have a large tiled wall depicting local landmarks with Ronald McDonald on it, not sure they still have it on the wall now though.

    try not to eat meat, especially not from mcdonald's, it will be much better for you. Do not hand over your hard earned money to these fast food companies.
