Lengthy legal wrangle

'...The case is thought to have cost the fast food giant £10m and was described as "the biggest corporate PR disaster in history".'

I wonder how much it has cost us ?

Very stupid of Mc donald's PR team instead of steaming ahead and trying to sue all they had to do was invite them to head office for a chat over a few burgers.

Do you think that they have a McDonalds kitchen in the corporate headquarters?

Directors of vast multinationals usually tuck into top-class munch when they strap on the nosebag, perhaps at McDonalds the directors have a Big Mac? Or a Fillet o'Fish if they are prepared to wait 4 minutes.

Wouldn't surprise me, weren't Ford managers happier after they bought Jaguar? It meant they could get Jaguars on their discount scheme, and it was still loyal to the company to drive one to work.

i thought head office would be in one of their branches? sure that the MD just doesn't have more stars on his name badge?

I think they do eat their own grub at McHeadOffice(TM)

I remember a story about a McCEO dying of cancer of the colon or similar - thought to be brought on by eating a burger a day for many years.

This seems a very odd comment.

McDonald's said it would not comment as it was not a party to the case It said the libel trial related to practices in the 1980s and McDonald's had 'moved on' since then.

I'm no Europhile but the Judges do seem fairer to the individual. The big boys rarely loose in the UK.

Err..... McD's CEO Jim Cantalupo, died suddenly of a heart attack in April 2004.

Charlie Bell took over as CEO and died in January of colo-rectal cancer, aged 44.

I reckon they must've been chomping their own stock.

He who lives by the burger, dies by the burger....

A poet by the name of "Ezy E" once mused "To be a dopeman, boy, you must qualify: don't get high off your own supply."

I guess that applies to anything addictive, including burgers.

Seems that they've been given a good burgering!
