Talking about fast food - should we do online chat with MacDonalds' new chap?

As most of you know Mac D's are on our banned advertiser's list, so we don't currently take any banners/ ads/ competition /sponsorship from them.

They've recently approached us to see if we would do a live online chat with their new head of food development, Mike Faers, who has apparently worked previously at Le Gavroche restaurant in London and also M&S and Sainsburys.

We're sure Mumsnetters could think of quite a few things they'd like to ask McDonald's, and we think it would be quite interesting to hear what they have to say, not just in terms of happy meals/menus but in terms of the whole MacDonald's brand/global strategy etc., but wanted to check with you all before confirming it, that you'd be happy for this to go ahead.

As always it would be live, with the chance to ask questions in advance, and no holds barred. We've warned him that you're a feisty bunch but he's still keen.

So what say you - shall we give Mike a go?

hmmm. could be. sadistic or evangelistic I guess.

either way he is (no pun intended)... mincemeat

Thats what I was thinking PPH...Is he sadistic do you think?

PrincessPeaHead · 14/04/2008 20:29

He has to be willing to tell us his salary so we can determine exactly HOW MUCH he has sold out

But hell, if he is willing - lead him to the sacrificial altar!

Yes!! Do it! That'd be fab..does he know what he's in for though??

Brave man.
