WHAT is this right old toss I've been hearing and reading about McDonald's, chips and the olympic games and them being the ONLY people able to sell "chips" while all other people have to sell them with fish or something retarded . . . Plus I though I'd heard previously that McD's wasn't allowed to call their product "Chips" and they had to call them "French Fries" or "Fries" as they didn't fit the criteria to actually be called "Chips" because they're blatantly not . . . At least in my books.

The worst of it is; the Athens pictures have been around for about 6 years. It didn't take too long for it to all fuck up. As for the people who have had their lives uprooted for a couple of weeks' worth of play......

How funny would it be if no one bought 'chips' from McDonalds.

Everyone should boycott them. Can't believe people let companies get away with this sort of shit.

I think it would get some UK support, however I doubt they'd have much stance with loads of people coming from all over the world who don't really care!

mcdonalds for the win! i don't see the problem, all there chips are made from 100% british potatoes so they are only helping the british economy.

Tax exempt chip!

Choice?! Not everyone wants to eat McDonalds for lunch. There will be countless smaller food kiosks that will serve far better food. Are people supposed to cue up at those and then go and cue for McDonalds just to get chips?

The obvious answer is 'you dont have to have chips'.. but thats pretty bloody tight when chips are served with nearly everything these days, its what people want and expect.

As damning as that looks i doubt London could go that way. Those countries have vast spaces of unused land and this just added to them. London isn't like that. If it fails at doing sport, it will be something else within 10 years.

Rightly so for the money they will have put in. Be more than the £600m in Tax savings anyway.

Did anyone see my comment?

It's no longer an issue...

For the opening and closing ceremonies, maybe.

And only if you are a member of staff!

Oh still, twats >.<

I love the fact that it was an event crew complaining. GO TEAM TECHIE!

'What do you mean I can't have chips with my lasagna sandwich?!'

Yeah, exactly. So, the members of the public still won't have the option.

My route to work is affected from yesterday with Olympic lanes and no go areas. I ignored it and made it to work quicker than normal.

Hope there were no cameras else they'll fine the pants off you.

I didn't drive in any marked lanes. Just went through an area that says avoid.
