Actual Karen's were supposed to be coming over and setting up at the Masonic Hall in January for a couple of days. Not heard anything further about it. As far as I understood the Manx rip-off had been convinced by Karen's lawyers to desist. Not sure if the change of name thing would work or whether it went ahead. I remember seeing a McWonalds in Bali once with an inverted golden arches. Edited February 3, 2023 by The Phantom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing a McWonalds in Bali once with an inverted golden arches. They came and went. Did two sittings in one day to make up for cancelling Sunday. Didn’t go but heard it went ahead ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt their deliberately shit service would be any more or less an experience than the casually shit service already on offer from various eateries.

Well this sort of jokey comment has been doing the rounds since the pop up Karen thing was announced. It’s somewhat like someone saying for example, that Everton will have the best ground in the Championship as though they are the first to utter that witty comment. In truth I've rarely encountered casually shit service when dining on the Island. Certainly no more or less than in the UK or further beyond Edited February 3, 2023 by The Voice of Reason 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So perhaps a 1950s diner, or where staff are in drag or on roller skates or where some sort of show goes on around the eating. But some sort of Fawlty Towers style rude service restaurant is something I can’t believe anyone would pay for more than once. The whole idea is literally shite. I’m not surprised it didn’t take off here at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well like I said I didn’t mean to be rude and apologized if I was (by the use of the word “sorry”) . Suggest we leave it at that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
