He “tyres” of fast food

Well what can be said about this... I had the misfortune of needing four new tyres and the nearest place where I can get a coffee is a famous fast food outlet. I have to say it's very convenient and has got the whole fast food bit licked - but what a really odd place to go.

I cannot think in here or hear much over what I can only think is the constant beeping from grills, burners or fryers. It's almost unbearable, mixed in with the odd burst of ‘young people’s’ music from the speakers in the ceiling. Aaaaand other people’s kids! Parents learn about these other ‘child species’.

I am not here with the kids, so don't have to subject them to this but you can guarantee that strangely they would think it was great - there's even a play area - or petri dish as we call them.

The thing I struggle with is the big push to get kids to eat healthily and then someone gives away a toy with burger and chips. I wonder if the local high street grocer has thought of that! Buy an apple and get a Darth Vader with a spinning light-sabre.  Maybe not!

I suppose they would say they have a healthy alternative. Again, I find this funny, to me that says "oh our food is bad for you but we do have an alternative". If it's bad for us - then let's not promote it to our kids please... Just a thought!

My little adventure is nearing the end as I contemplate the scary bill for the four tyres.

At least the coffee was cheap and rather good too. Arabica beans - don’t you know!
