KFC Advert 2025

Eldest lad went on a lax exchange scheme to Maryland.

Asked the lady behind the counter for a "Chewner sandwich".

She didn't understand so Will repeated it.

Still she had no clue so his US team mate Adam stepped in. "He means toona fish".

Like toona comes in other types of animal...

I once asked for another bottle of beer whilst dining with my family in Florida- she, the waitress, came back with a small plate??? The following day, I popped back in on my own whilst my family was at a waterpark. It was midday, and I just wanted a beer to cool down given that I had been stupid enough to go for a stroll in the 40 degree sun. Although I was in my mid 40's they refused to serve me. I pointed out that they didn't age ID the night before. (Granted- I should have had my passport with me, but I was clearly over 21).

Weird country. I have been there about 12 times (latterly work related- East and West coast). I won't miss not needing to go anymore. I met some of the smartest people, and some of the thickest.
 
Biggest problem I have with anything breakfast from McD's is they don't do brown/HP sauce. How can you have egg/sausage/bacon with ketchup??? Total abomination!

They do

On stag week i Got ID at 42 said to guy don't be so stupid . I need to see your ID sir . I'm British we don't carry ID and I'm clearly old enough so would I. One of group had to carry his about constantly he was 29. Barmaid explained it to us if cops came in and people were under age they got fined hundreds of dollars hence why they are so strict. So if undoubt they take ID and put behind bar then if it's fake customer gets done
 
Couple of mates did a fly drive to US, stayed in a hotel in Utah, went to the bar for a drink, they had to join type of club to get beer, so they signed up, wart back for another beer and barman told them they had to wait an hour between drinks

It is a very weird country. You can carry an assault rifle and shoot somebody if they look at you funny. But you can't cross the street where you want or buy a beer without ID.
 
Looks like a good pub, still looks real as I guess many have gone or been gentrified.. Don't know many in London, but one I used to visit was the Warrington Arms (now hotel) in Maida Vale. Used to have a Thai restaurant upstairs. Fantastic ornate bar and lounge area. The best bit is, an episode of The Sweeney was filmed there.

On the subject of takeaways - they have a Bell Taco in Bristol now as well. Alas, unlike the ones in US, no fajitas. What's the point of a Texmex without fajitas?

The Shanakee is a proper boozer- five quid for a pint of Kronenbourg, £4.90 for a Guinness. Reputed to be the third best pint of Guinness in west London (I don't drink Guinness though- can't stand the stuff). Bar stools at the bar. You can chat to strangers. Those that want to be left alone will sit at a table. The best jukebox I have ever, ever come across. Someone else on here asked me to see if it had a certain track- it did.

I never went to the warrington, I used to drink in the next nearest pub- https://www.theprincealfred.com/ when working in the area but a pint is now just shy of £7.

I like pubs. I like proper pubs, rather than pubs which act as a vehicle to sell food or expensive coffee.

The Shanakee doesn't sell food other than bar snacks- tea or coffee is a quid, and the coffee is out of a jar.

In the event that you ever come down this way- let me know and I will buy you a pint- you clearly appreciate decent pubs.
 
And they won't sell Kinder eggs with toys in because they're dangerous.

Go figure.

I can appreciate IDing people that you are not sure about but when someone is clearly far in advance of the age requirement, it is silly.
