AIBU? Neighbours demanding money for McDonald’s

We live in quite a small but nice street, mainly detached with decent sized gardens. We have a whatsapp group that the whole street is on, barring one family LOL. But we won’t talk about them.

Anyway, DH is the one who reads the group most often and has now got into a massive fight with the neighbours over a group-buy of McDonalds food next week.

My mum still calls it ‘the Wimpy Bar’.

"We have a whatsapp group that the whole street is on, barring one family LOL. But we won’t talk about them"

We're probably that family on our street.Everyone around here is related to each other somehow as no one goes far.We've got several members of one particular family living on our street who act as though everyone is beneath them.We're weren't popular with my neighbour and her family when we moved in as her daughter had put in a offer on our house and was turned down.

She had to settle for a smaller house a few doors down instead.

I personally wouldn't want to live next door to my mum.

I reckon the neighbours that can't be talked about who aren't in the WhatsApp group are called McDonald.

It makes sense why there was a bit row over their food.

zukiecat · 03/05/2020 14:11

I'd kill for some Chicken Selects or a Quarterpounder (no cheese), fries with sweet and sour sauce right now.

I rent a small two bed maisonette with a small shared garden, so I guess that rules me out of getting any McDonalds

@KavvLar I'm now singing the old Brownies song 🎶a Wimpy Bar, a Wimpy Bar, a Little Chef in a Wimpy Bar 🎶 ( I'm hoping I haven't imagined this song!!

Kaykay066 · 03/05/2020 14:22

I so so want a McDonald’s cheeseburger now, might not be ‘food’ to some but they are so good 😊

donkeyoatey · 03/05/2020 14:33

If I live in a detached 3 bedroom cottage with a small garden does that qualify me for a fillet o fish with an extra gerkin?

SauvignonBlanche · 03/05/2020 14:35

I’m only in a semi with a medium-sized garden so I guess I wouldn’t be included Sad

crispysausagerolls · 03/05/2020 14:41

@Taddda

I’m
Not even sorry 😆

ThePants999 · 03/05/2020 15:26

Guessing the family not on the WhatsApp group are the one whose house is only worth £750,000.

Troubledmummy3 · 03/05/2020 15:31

This thread has given me a giggle 😂 There are some truly hilarious people on Mumsnet 🙏🙏😂

Troubledmummy3 · 03/05/2020 15:32

@LouMumsnet 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Gingerkittykat · 03/05/2020 15:54

Geez, if you want a good troll could you not invent something more juicy like a neighbourhood swinging group or head onto FWR and pretend you are trans.

I'm dying for Mcdonalds to reopen. I used to get pissed off with DD for -whining- asking to go constantly.

Right now I could really go a Big Mac, a Fillet of Fish, a fajita wrap, cheese bites, loads of fries and an apple pie or 6. That's just my order, the rest of the family can fend for themselves.

I live in a house with a 5 figure value, I suppose it explains why I am so chavy.

bettybattenburg · 03/05/2020 16:01

@LouMumsnet Did they have a Fortnum and Mason bag when you escorted them back home? Grin

MitziK · 03/05/2020 16:11

Clearly two of the figures relating to the houses are 9 and 9.

As in 99p.

longwayoff · 03/05/2020 16:21

But what's the parking like?

SillyCow6 · 03/05/2020 16:35

@TitianaTitsling I remember it as "a pizza hit, a pizza hut, Kentucky fried chicken and a pizza hut...Mac Donalds, Mac Donalds, kentucky fried chicken and a pizza hut"

SillyCow6 · 03/05/2020 16:37

*pizza HUT, although maybe a pizza hit is what OP is planning now to whichever house it was they had the argument with

TazSyd · 03/05/2020 17:12

@Jeezoh

What? There are still Wimpy’s? Where? Please tell me.

I haven’t had a Wimpy burger since my misspent youth in Blackpool.

(Well, now I’ve really outed myself as not being middle class enough for mumsnet. My mugs don’t match either).

TitianaTitsling · 03/05/2020 17:14

Ah yes silly! Maybe we could do a MN verse? Around a naice house (detached of course) and got to get the value in!

FinnefanFox · 03/05/2020 17:15

You bought such a big house OP you now cannot afford to pay for your McDonald's? Do you want us to set a Go Fund my McDonald's page up for you?

FinnefanFox · 03/05/2020 17:25

Oh dear just caught up 😂😂😂😂
Oh but what I would do for a Lime Milkshake! Love them!
