They've finally refitted the McDonalds in town. After twenty something years the crap faux nautical theme has been replaced by a dark green/midgreen/deep orange combo. Its achingly hip for those whose ideas of hip is a retro seventies design and sixties style chairs. In fact i was surprised not to see beanbags in the corner.
What's always struck me about places like this is they look great, but only without people in them.
As soon as actual humans, with their clashing colours and irregular curves enter into this pristine space the effect is ruined. These designs are there to be photographed and admired, not lived in.
The food is, of course, staggeringly mediocre. Like an impersonation of tasty without actually being so.
I wouldn't actually be here if i didn't need to be in town and nowhere else was open. But I seem to use that excuse a little too regularly!
