The so called poor buy at Chicken shops? Lord Poxingtonsmithe only likes poached squirel but that doesn't make him a peasant.
KFC is yet another Americanism eroding our identity, but I've been warned on here before about anti Americanism although I'll admit there is no doubt we have been infiltrated by them and indoctrinated since WW2.
I heard a rumour that the music industry built and commisioned privatley run prisons in America and their sole purpose was to promote gangster rap and create a subculture of violence that would supply an endless amount of inmates in a two birds with one stone strategy. Corner the music market and provide the prisons which house the exponents of a culture fuelled by drug gang warfare, hence cornering the market.
Did the good Clonel Saunders invision such a fate for his recipie?
Actually I did have a KFC for the first time in my life recently. (I don't count the one I had 20 years ago in China, because I really only did that for the photo opportunity!)
I can actually see why people have them. It's the quantity over quality thing. I was in Warwickshire with a friend and her son. We let him choose a takeaway. (Oh well letting him choose once in 15 years isn't a bad thing ... it won't set a precedent.)
We went to a drive through. We got masses of everything in some sort of family deal box. Including the biggest bottle of cola I'd ever seen in my life. Actually I only ate the popcorn chicken, (which I liked in a sort of guilty pleasure sort of way) and the corn on the cob (which was actually delicious.)
Trouble was, I kept waking up completely dehydrated. I think I'd had more salt in that one meal than in the rest of my considerable number of years.
I think tfl should ban them from the buses though. Icky grease & chicken bones strewn around ... not good.
We actually live in London where the crime rate is high, the denizens are low life and the take away food is junk
Oh the wonders of life in the big smoke never do cease to amaze.
I live in a very nice street but I'm surrounded by waifs vagerbonds and serfs their houses are worth £750k+
The point I'm trying to make is London is so crammed one minute you're walking the streets of tranquility the next your walking on death row. the demographics are varied the political mozaic labyrinthian.
Is it just me when driving along motorways avoids Service Stations labelled KFC. It gets difficult when they are labelled KFC/Waitrose. Alienating both ends of the market simultaneously?

My wallet doesn't allow for me stop at motorway service stations. The prices are a ripoff, all fuel in them is way over priced.

Could just be a Friday treat that he's picked up on his way home from school. My boy is 11 and is allowed to buy sweets with his pocket money on a Friday afternoon before he walks home. He's scruffy enough to look like a latchkey kid, but I met him at the door with my pinny on, having just put a cake in the oven.

There are 7bln jelloids wobbling around on this rock a few fat people aren't going to mean squat in 20/30 years.
A few fat people ( oh sorry must not say that it could cause upset ) .
I do notice however if you see people over 80 then very few are fat.
Either the fatties die early , or people just become slim at 80. I would imagine the first.
Obesity is a disaster of our society. Did not exist 50 years ago. How often do you see children going home from school not eating whilst moving.
Where do they get the money. I would imagine most children get one pound a week pocket money if they have been good and are lucky.
