Would anyone really? I mean, really.

McShit and its ilk is not a restaurant, and nor are cafes.

An actual bona fide restaurant, where I assume the food doesn’t get served dry on the plate, the person deserves to be shown the ****ing door.

Reason it got my attention is because it's a job I could never do, not without killing some customers anyway, so I was more interested how the front line employee's handle such a situation with some of the arseholes that are out there. Personally I've felt condiments on the table is not very hygienic.

I was looking through youtube only a couple days ago and came across a few ABBA songs, rather have them than the Beatles for sure. Think their music just makes me think of the past, harder times but seemed a much more freer and laid back world. Think the availability to knowledge is easier and better now, not sure it;s made the world any a better place though.

They'll have managed to **** it up in modernising it. This stuff was nice.

I could have sworn there was a Brown Sauce called Tiger Sauce when I was a kid, but can't find a pic of it.

Had a McD's pre match Saturday as my lad a had a couple of the Monopoly freebie things. Was ****e.

I do rate the McMuffin breakfasts though.

The opposite of a guilty pleasure. The Beatles were terrible. Abba did fun dumb songs and that was their schtick. How **** was everyone else that The Beatles made it that big?

Whilst I disagree with your point I had considered a thread along those lines when reading this one yesterday - things everyone else seems to rate but you think are ****e.

Feel like it will hit a lot of responses pretty quickly. Quite possibly from @Chief and @brb alone!

As regards the Beatles I still like them now (prefer the Stones and the Kinks though) but they were, like many things, in the right place at the right time. They weren't shy about using and copying black music (like Little Richard) and profitted off the back of it in a similar way to Elvis. That isn't a criticism as such, they were open about it at the time and did give credit where it's due, but it wouldn't have been possible in the same way in the decades that followed.

I think it's easy to not like the Beatles though as so much of what they did well just became the standard for bands/groups going forward that it sounds pretty normal as it's been copied so many times. The Stones though still sounds pretty fresh to me, I mean Gimme Shelter is used all over the place to this day as an action soundtrack - still sounds awesome.
