AIBU? Neighbours demanding money for McDonald’s

[Radishey]

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.

I feel quite sad that OP has come to a sticky end. This tale had an air of intrigue, a strong start. The scene was well set....and we’ll never know what the fuss was about.’

so are weed shops, liquor stores, gun shops and pet stores.

I can understand the latter two as pets need to be fed and home security is arguably still important. The other two are likely just kept in place to avoid having to deal with the fallout of that - alcohol withdrawal and people who suddenly have no pain relief.

Whatever happened to Ronald McDonald??

Odd looking fella, bit scary, massive in the 80's, turned up to all the birthday parties I went to, then vamooshed??

Hope he didn't do a Savile!?

Brown derby much better than knickerbocker glory.

Okay, what is a brown derby? It sounds like something unfortunate the morning after a bad curry!?

Did we ever find out what happened here, I can't be bothered to read the entire thread?

I live in a semi detached house with a wide but shallow sort of garden.
My eldest likes McDonald's and my youngest doesn't even like it.
I think we will just wait for Taco Bell to open

@madcatladyforever previously banned poster. Mumsnet kept the thread for entertainment value, I think the message is page 3 or 4, just look for the blue one.

I dated a lad whose parents had instilled in him that you could only go to Wimpey because they did table service, gave you a proper plate, knife and fork with which to eat your burger and it was cleaner I suspect the demographic dining there possibly had an influence on their assertions.

It was most disconcerting to see him sit down in his freshly ironed (by Mum) checked flannel shirt and jeans, collar buttoned all the way up, paper napkin on his lap and then start carefully dissecting his quarter pounder into quarter inch morsels.

Admittedly, my main experiences of him had largely involved him being hung like a donkey and having huge muscles everywhere from cycling twenty miles a day for work, but the dissonance it created meant things were never quite the same afterwards.

Brown derby - warm doughnut with ice cream and toppings. I used to work at wimpy in the 90s. One of the waitresses described it as an orgasm on a plate

I fancy a McDonald's now shame there not open.

@MitziK my mind is roaming having huge muscles everywhere did he have huge thumb and toe muscles????

I love a mcds, shame we didn't all find out what in gods name this post was actually about although it was someone quite clearly trolling disappointingly or so unbelievable is marked as a troll for such an odd thread. Weirdly jealous of a whatsapp group between neighbours and of people who have a mcdonalds open for delivery in their local area. Ours shut from day 1 of lockdown and my neighbours don't even say hi. Odd world

It’s 5.30 am and I could kill double fries with ketchup AND mayo. I think the OP’s issue was that the burgers would be cold by the time she got them, which I can understand if you’re too naice to put your burger in the microwave.

that the whole street is on, barring one family LOL. But we won’t talk about them ... has now got into a massive fight with the neighbours over a group-buy of McDonalds food next week.

The neighbours NOT on it sound the most sensible... how do you actually argue over Maccas for heaven's sake? Just go yourselves, or don't get any!

@Thepigeonsarecoming Oh yes, everywhere. Manual job, twenty miles of cycling a day, every muscle was perfectly defined as though he'd been carved by an artist. Add to that a perfectly chiseled jaw, perfect white teeth, naturally, thick, dark eyelashes and the bluest eyes ever. He was physically perfect.

Thick as mince, though. If he hadn't have been, I might have actually accepted his proposal, but I knew that I would have gone insane had I stayed with him from a combination of the weird food habits (of which eating burgers with a knife and fork in miniscule pieces turned out to be only the start of it) and having to explain what the big words in The Sun meant.

God, he was so beautiful, though. (sigh)

I went to many a Wimpy party back in the puffball skirt era. Still got the pictures somewhere in the loft.

My favourite was always a Little Chef jubilee pancake.

Having not seen a Little Chef for years, imagine my delight at finding one on the way to Whitby and introducing DD to the gastronomic pleasures of a jumbo battered fish finger and chips followed by a jubilee pancake.

@Mauvg

Yes, Wimpy seem to be mostly in the south. Apart from Huddersfield. When this lockdown is over, I am going to take DD for a day out in the train to Huddersfield so that we can go to Wimpy.

I remember going to a friend's Wimpy party when I was about 7, and her mum bought her a knickerbocker glory. No-one else got dessert! We all watched her eat it jealously...

I love wimpy. It’s my favourite. Other than my dad and one of my brothers everybody else seems to think I’m totally insane. DP goes along with it for my sake occasional when we’re in clacton! But not if the kids were with us, we would be bankrupt and they would rather McDonald’s anyway!! (One of the good ones) also one in lakeside......however there’s one over broxbourne way which is frankly diabolical so much so that I don’t go there even though I want to because I know it will be shit and I will moan. Best one was Romford and that now gone. I think about wimpy way too much. I do love that the burgers still taste the same as they always have! I used to go to one in my town every Friday night with my nan before wed go and do the food shop at Sainsbury’s 😊

Anyone remember the lollies you got when you paid the bills? They were small Squarish lollies they were transparent red and green with a non transparent yellow bit. They were the best!

I have missed McDonald’s more than I care to admit, I will queue for 3 hours to get one when it opens if that’s what I have to do. I will be ordering huge amounts and I will not have an ounce of shame!!!

In other news, does anybody else miss the old McDonald’s decor? With the hamburgler etc and the party table with mushroom stools?? Hate modern posh McDonald’s.

Never mind MacD's, I live next door to a furloughed Italian pastry chef who WhatsApps the neighbours every weekend taking orders for his pizzas and Italian cakes and desserts.
His tartufi are to die for. (not a euphemism)
Did I mention he's Italian?
But sadly we are only in a terraced house.

Oh no, zombie thread 😳😳
