How thick are some people?

About a quarter of a mile from my home there is a McDs which is closed a few days ago for a refurbishment til around 8th August (I think). It’s off a major roundabout. Drive on the roundabout a few times a week.

Despite the whole area fenced off, most of the external walls have gone, signs with reopening date with another McDs postcode (there’s one nearer), car park taken up by portacabins and old ventilation bits etc - people are still trying to enter McDs! This is even from the side of the roundabout where you can see the building is just a shell.

How people are going to cope with McDs closed for 7.5 weeks with the schools breaking up on the second week of July.

English schools break up the second week of July? I thought it was end of July?

Where does it say England?
Scottish schools break earlier, as do independent schools in England and Wales. State schools in England and Wales get more like 5.5 than 7.5 weeks of holiday too

An awful lot of people are just utterly thick. You can't argue with stupid and the road signs won't mean a thing to them.

Brains befuddled by junk food

Maybe they're distracted by watching the road and driving.

It isn't a lack of intelligence though that's a different thing

At least they're giving you a laugh!

You can’t educate pork so they want to eat beef.

Possibly better signage is required???
