To be honest, I see that combination and think BP.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I see the BP combo and I think J'ca, Australia and Brazil and then BP. I find the green/yellow combination very very evocative. But I'm way used to confusing it by now.

Have there been protests or anything in Scotland when new McDonald's restaurants opened? I vaguely recalled the McMunchies case, but until today, I'd never heard anything more than generalized grumbling over the "big corporation stole our name" issue.
No nothing so much just a growing feeling of resentment, it might dissapate. People here are feeling less subjugated and more confident since the return of democracy -I think- so are maybe looking less for things to take it out on. I'd be interested to know what MacDonalds accounts look like over the past few years because I think I heard a news story that they are having to close down outlets, people are less interested in eating there these days.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yeah, McDonald's everywhere hasn't been doing too well lately. They posted losses last quarter for the first time ever.

If I only had a brain...
And I for one did a giddy little dance of "take THAT, you tasteless-food-making-bastards!" when the news came out.

Has anyone read "Fast Food Nation" cos I did and now it is difficult to eat fast food. I have the list of ingredients for *Strawberry flavour* on my kitchen door out of some kind of peverse fascination,

The only refs I'm finding are comments on discussion boards - nothing I would count as definitive. But it's worth noting that all those mentions say that McDonalds [the big American one] lost the case.

Yeah, that's a fascinating book. I only got halfway through it and then left it at my sister's place, so someday I'll get to finish it I hope. A real eye-opener in several ways.

Looks like we're well on the way to that second thread after all...
