    None I'm afraid.

    Can't stand any of them.

    Once in a blue moon I may have a burger king but generally don't do fast food outlets.

    Wimpy's more or less disappeared. There's one in my area and I pop in from time to time for the novelty of having plates, real forks and knives and a proper cup. Oh and i really fancy one of the waitresses.

    Hate McDonalds with a passion and KFC has gone really down hill in the last few years.

    I thought Wimpy was gone, not sure there are any in Glasgow.

    McDonald's tastes like ****, Burger King now and again is alright.

    Can't do KFC, it just doesn't agree with me.

    There used to be a place in Aberdeen called "The Tasty Tattie"

    All manner of fillings with baked tatties.

    It was pretty good actually.

    Now half the shops here are lying empty with the exorbitant rates and shops now relocating in malls away from the centre.

    It's like that here, locally. Plenty of charity shops, bookies and pawn brokers though where there used to be butchers, bakers etc.

    I don't understand the concept of batter on chicken or fish.

    Spoils the taste.

    The last KFC I ever had was dripping in grease.

    yeah most of our nice take aways have been replaced by Sams or an even less appealing chicken shop. I see soem kids eating it every day which cannot be good and makes you wonder about the parents. All right it's cheap but even so....

    Like Dan says, KFC has gone downhill in the last years.

    It coincides when Mick stopped working for them.

    Mibby he nicked the secret recipe <yikes>

    Yup, exactly the same here Tina.

    Throw in a plethora of poun shops and cafes and that's about your whack. City centre here now is horrible. It used to be so clean but it's a ****hole now.

    Wimpy is the only place I will use a knife and fork to eat a hamburger. Their benders are nice, too.

    Double Whopper with cheese is the King of the high street burgers.

    KFC went down the pan once franchising took hold; the chicken is not fit for human consumption.

    McDonalds' food has always brought on headaches for me.

    I'm quite lucky where I work is just a stone's throw from Aberdeen market.

    Real good cuts of meat and wonderful fresh fish.

    But see if you asked me where are there fishmongers and butchers in Aberdeen, I honestly could not tell you. In fact I cannot think of any at all. Sad situation as Elton once warbled.

    You're never going to get that job with the Woolwich Tourist Board at this rate, Jono.

    I served 2 years in KFC, it was intense man, hand down the womens bog to pull out bloody tampons, ****ey nappies stuck to walls. I'm telling ye, some of things I seen. I went in a boy and came out a man, no doubt.

    To find a good fishmonger you have to venture into little Poland ( Torry ) Crombie Road or Cables Lane, good fresh fish but quite expensive ER.

    Never been a lover of fast food outlets, always thought you have to be a special kind of person to eat them.
