Doesn't really alter the point I was making though in response to an insinuation that if they made burgers here with local meat there wouldn’t be an issue today. From memory stopped after BSE . and agree would have still run out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard there was going to be a marching band, and free mince pies. I heard our abdicated American king, David Drew Howe, is going to be making a speech down there and everything.

McDonalds didn't open here until 1999, long after the height of BSE/vCJD. The infamous picture of John Selwyn Gummer feeding his daughter a burger was back in 1990. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you just making stuff up? Is it for dramatic effect or do you still think it’s 1987? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finlo Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Today's useless fact, the lady who had Ballavoddan equestrian centre built ( where Trevor Hemmings lived latterly) acquired her wealth by providing McDonalds with their meat in the US.

Yet they can sell it cheaper in the UK than here. Fact. Shoprite never used to be allowed to discount Manx meat coming up to the end of its sell by date. It was always removed from the shelves at full value. This was 20 years ago for certain, is it still policy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
