Thank you for accepting that I replied and the confirmation that, as I suspected, you are too wrapped up in yourself to comprehend it. It’s raining. I am busy playing bowls and don’t tend to go on any beaches here in the summer. Too full of tourists. What are you prattling on about now? Wrapped up in my self? Look in a mirror old man if you want to see someone really up himself.. Wisbech ( Mr I'm never wrong and I am superior to you all) eagle.....enjoy the Cornish rain!!

This is the crux of the matter though. Will anyone mount a defence for them because people like their hamburgers? McDonalds have accepted fault. Being almost exclusively franchises the management is often on site and could hardly not be aware of what has been going on. How to control it, due the set up, looks to me to present a big challenge.

That I express opinions with force and certainty doesn’t mean I am never wrong. Just ask my wife! Superior? My team plays this evening against another which has two world champions and another international in it. No sense of superiority involved from me. Lots of luck will be required to even save face! Miracles are needed to win.

Just your superior attitude to everyone on here....couldn't care less about bowls actually but you do make out your opinion ( and that's all it is) is the only one that matters...ok so you've travelled widely, so have I. So what?? Enjoy getting battered on the bowling green tonight in the rain, please tell us the score tomorrow!

Accepting fault is something it took the BBC decades to do. The BBC have never accepted the fault that you, and others, accuse them of, because it doesn’t exist. No tolerance is either given or needed. They accepted their protocols weren’t robust enough and have improved them. How McDonalds can handle this is not going to be simple. They were a customer of mine for many years and so I have a small insight into their culture. This is something that I suspect we have only yet seen the tip of. It could involve a major restructuring. Other fast food chains will probably have the same problems.

Ignore the personal nonsense WE; the truth of the matter is that large numbers of people who post, especially vis a vis "political" matters hate being called out for the racist and bigotry they often express. You, very successfully, call it out on a regular basis - if you were not posting, the site would simply be an echo chamber of unchallenged, often far right, views. Keep going if you still have the energy!

I only used it to demonstrate the paucity of your argument. I am not responsible for your perceptions of me. I will express my opinions in my own way. You make of them whatever you like. Ignore them if they upset you!

So so true, some of the vitriol is repulsive. Deluded and ironic, they really should look in the mirror sometimes! If you disagree with any of their points, come what may, whether you are not you're called a leftie!
