A few little facts
The McDonalds salads have more calories in them than a burger meal does.

The McDonalds burgers can only be classed as a burger because of the gurkin, without it they would be classed as a cake because there is so much sugar in them.

McDonalds use powder mixture to make there chips.

Illegal sales
For years Sia food and wine has been used by young children aged around 13-17 years for purchasing alcohol and cigarettes.
Known by them as 'Haydons' they make their way there to buy alcohol and go drinking in near-by parks.
The staff there (2 asian men) know that the children are underage as when they purchase alcohol they tell them to, and qoute, 'Put it deep in your bag', or if there are other customers in the shop they wait until they have left to serve the kids.
This has gone un noticed since I was in my early teens, now nearly 18 it's still going on and more and more kids hear of it and go there to get drink.
This place should have it's licence removed as it is using it in the wrong way.
They are helping add to the rise in young people drinking from an early age.
They need to be stopped.

My reason for being a veggie
The picture isn't mine, but it looks almost the same as what I found in our family bucket.
Imagine enjoying your food then taking a bite into a piece of, what you thought was wing, and a brain falling onto the table.
That is exactly what happened to me in Wimbledon KFC.
My friend who I was with threw up at the sight of it and on closer inspection of the piece of chicken we noticed an eye socket an the other piece of the brain.

I showed the piece of chicken to the staff member at the till and asked to speak to the manager. She took the piece off me and chucked it in the bin, I told the manager how discussed I was demanded my money back, to which she told me, sorry we can't do that, have another piece of chicken for free.
I'm sorry, but after seeing that, I didn't ever want to go there again.
After a long disagreement the manager said, and I qoute...
"It's not our fault, sometimes the chefs, they miss bits when cleaning the chicken"
This is NOT the attitude to have!
They refused to give me my money back, even after being threatened with the health services.

I haven't been to KFC since then and also became a veterinarian as the thought of meat now makes me feel sick.

Birthday party not to forget
The view from the London Eye is more amazing than words can say, even pictures can't catch it true beauty.
I went on the London Eye over a year ago with my friends for one of their birthdays, my first thoughts were 'this is going to be boring, seeing the same scenery for half an hour', but one we got on I was blown away.
Every time you turn around the scenery seems to change, every angle is a different experience.
We went on in the early evening, so by the time we were at the top you could see the whole of London in a mystic dusk view, the best time to go I think.

My best advice, book your tickets!

The real Italian coffee
I have not yet been in ANY cafe Nero where there has been an English staff member.
I think it's quite nice that they keep authentic.
The coffee at cafe Nero gives a real taste of Italy and the food that is offered with it makes the experience even more fantastic.
Their prices are fair for the quality and service that you receive.
You can also pick up a loyalty card that you get stamped after every purchase, once you have a full card you will receive a free large coffee of your choice.

Prices to high
The Wimbledon Odeon is a great place to go with the family or friends to see the latest film, it offers great seating services and multi screens so you always have choice of what to see.
The only downside of the Odeon is the prices.
An adult ticket has now been bumped up to £8
A child at £5 and student at £6.70.
If you are to go to the Odeon go in a group and purchase a family ticket as it is the only way to get value for money.
