Super Size Me?

Si gjerne "super size me" og legg grunnlaget for deigræv på livstid når du er på McDonald's, men vær varsom dersom du besøker en av kjedens drive-thru restaurants i Storbritannia. Sitter du og koser deg lengre enn 45 minutter med et "happy" meal risikerer du en bot på £125, noe denne bilisten og McDonald's-kunden fikk oppleve:

"One motorist, Jamie Thomson, told the Guardian of his experience at a McDonald's near Gatwick: "I ordered a burger, chips, a doughnut, coke and coffee. I sat in my car eating my lunch, and listening to the radio. After eating, I continued to sip my coffee for a time, and ate my doughnut. Then I left. All perfectly normal." He says he was in his car for about an hour.

Several weeks later, he received a letter from Civil Enforcement demanding £125, or £75 if the charge was paid quickly. At first Thomson, a businessman from Sussex, did not even realise that he was being charged for spending too long at McDonald's, as the notice gave only a partial address.

When he remembered his visit to McDonald's, Thomson asked Civil Enforcement for photographic proof of his "offence", but was told he would have to pay for a photo. He contacted the DVLA to ask how Civil Enforcement had obtained his details, and was told the DVLA releases data to bodies which have "reasonable cause" to ask for it."

You couldn't make it up! Men burde vi være overrasket, McDonald's er jo ikke noen representant for slow food-bevegelsen akkurat...
