Of all the U.S. fast food joints, at least KFC, at its best is bloody delicious. But then again, it never is at its best anymore, so it can bugger off back over the pond with the rest of the McDonalds, Burger King, PizzaHut, whatever, rubbish, as far as I'm concerned.

I found out just after Christmas. I actually felt sad when I found out that my local KFC closed down.

I thought Bitterne KFC was making loads of money, as it was always quite busy.

 

 

Sad Month for the Bitterne residents :(

Thats ok, thornhill one is my nearest now.

 

The idiots at bitterne always got my order wrong anyways.

 

But still, i will mourn the closing of any KFC

 

Where in Thornhill is KFC?

Where Dibbens then Jewsons were at the bottom of one of the dips, if I am correct.

 

In answer to someone up the thread saying that Yank fast food can bugger off back over the pond, Burger King is originally a British company.

Apparently its called Antelope Trading Park now, I supply The Range and had no idea where it was when they were telling me where Southampton 2 was being built, and I only use to live in Chatsworth Road by the Police station in Bitterne.

No it isn't, was brought over to this country in the 70's, I think Sperring from the old convenience store chain had something to do with the 1st Southampton one located above bar.

Of all the 'branded' fast food chains Ive always found KFC the least appealing, hygiene seems paramount to other chains but not to KFC.

My last experience of them was in the Shirley one many years ago now, after ordering some combination meal the girl serving me takes the ticket out of the till, reads it, puts it on her bottom lip, pulls a box down puts the chicken and chips in the box, reads the ticket once more then puts the ticket into my box of food, mank mank mank ! I'll have my money back thankyou as your saliva was not what I ordered.

The smell of cheap, cooking fat that emanates from KFCs almost makes me spew. I would even eat in one of those crappy Aberdeen Angus Steak Houses rather than eat KFC. I mean seriously how good can food be that is served up in a bucket ?????

It was British owned from 1989 to 2001 Grand Metropolitan/Diagio but very much started in the States and American owned once again.

No, that was the Buffet car on the 1545 Bournemouth Belle - Waterloo.

After a few minutes it mysteriously disappeared.
