Meh, it doesn't bother me. Takes up redundant space and provides jobs. I'd like to think the franchisee has looked at whether the demand is there.

And they wonder why there are so many 'fatties' in the town....
Yes it brings jobs, but also brings rubbish. The amount of rubbish in North Swindon from Mac D's is awful.

Supply and demand really. The Town Centre doesn't need 3 Subways but they're always pretty rammed at peak times.
Better to give the yoofs of the town a job there as well.

What sort of town do people want? Leaving everything to 'supply & demand' is lazy, and abdicates responsibility for taking decisions in the public interest. I'm sure you could find demand for up to 100 brothels across the town as well, but most would not want one on their street corner.
Anyone wanting a artery-hardening McBurger in Swindon already has 6 establishments to choose from. No more needed in my view.

We're just a town full of Costas, Greggs and McDonalds.

Sippo and Ardiles really do make me laugh sometimes.
It's a McDonalds. Not a PoW camp. What's the fucking problem?

Eating McDonalds on it's own doesn't make you fat, no exercise and eating fatty burgers makes you fat.
I remember a story from years ago that at that point we had more pizza takeaway places per head than anywhere else in the country.

You're such an angry young man, DMR. You need a little laughter in your life, I suspect. So happy to help. It's a McDonalds. Not a PoW camp. What's the fucking problem?
What's the fucking problem?! Don't be a tool. You know the fucking problems. Everyone does. No one needs to reiterate them here. |

I'd prefer a decent Chinese which the town doesn't even have one of.

A company like McDonalds aren't going to open a new gaff without doing their homework, must be enough demand of people prepared to waddle there.

They're expanding rapidly at the moment. Like I said, I don't doubt that the demand exists. I'm just not sure that catering for it is necessarily the wisest move.
Interestingly, Reading also has 7 branches of McDonalds and Oxford has just 3. Reading is obviously a little bigger than Swindon and Oxford a little smaller...but interesting that there are significantly fewer branches per head of population in Oxford. It's probably harder to get planning permission there, sure enough...but maybe the council has taken the view that 3 is enough. Fair play if they have.
