ME, A SNOB?

Michael Edwards

 

 

ME, A SNOB?

 

You called me a snob.

What impudence!

That cannot be!

I ate in McDonalds once.

    I too ate in Macdonalds ONCE, that was back in the 1980s, I swore I would never go in one again, and so far so good.
    Great words Michael and I do like the sculpture.

      So did I once, I think - or maybe more times. But I have to eat plain foods, and be fussy! A fine write and pic M.

        I eat real food - my wonderful wife cooks a whole variety of fare (probably part of her ethnic background) so we eat fresh food every day - no fast food for us - by the way I do all the prep and help as a commis chef so it is a joint effort.

        • orchidee

          Is it the Co-op food stores for you? Or M&S food department (snobby)?! I always go to 99p store. I find the Pound Shop too expensive. Gosh, everything is ÂŁ1 there ya know!

            We use Aldi -- being in MH it's okay (car park full of 4by4's) - went into Aldi in a different area and it was like a third world country - me a snob?
            Went into B&M yesterday but the paper bag on my head was so uncomfortable.

              I have been in Mcds a few times since but only to use the loos.

                Michael,

                You...a snob?!
                I think not!

                Your great sculpture reminds me of the little Italian countryside church/school that I went to when I was a child. Love it. Many fond memories.

                  I wouldn't use McD because their fast food has no appeal
                  I am a stickler for observing table manners (in myself) .
                  I am very fussy about the way I dress
                  I speak RP and avoid like the plague incorrect use of the language
                  I wouldn't be seen in a tee shirt bearing any form of picture or logo
                  I only use use reputable hair stylists



                  Okay so I'm a bit prissy and a stickler for standards but it it doesn't bother me one jot if others follow different codes - it's their choice.

                  • Laura🌻

                    You’re correct...
                    “To each his own”

                    I totally agree with you about table manners and the correct use of language! I’m a bit more “relaxed” with the dress code!

                    You wont find me inMcDonalds when there's a perfectly good meal to be had in the bins round the back where one's fellow diners are such good company.

                    • Michael Edwards

                      Ah bin cuisine - now there's a poem there somewhere - thanks Dusk.

                      How's the evening going? Miss Berles keeps asking me to enquire.

                      • Michael Edwards

                        Not bad - been out at a Nat Trust property today - Enjoya Berles.

                        I ate at Mickie Dee's twice so my street cred is that much better. I also ate at Denny's once so I really know all about slumming.

                        • Michael Edwards

                          Now I've got to look up Micky Dees and Dennys - we don't have them in the UK.
                          We do have a lot of greasy cafes though.
                          Cheers fb

                          mickie dees is an abbreviation for mcdonalds that we use stateside.
