McDonalds in Alty has closed down. I feel like a friend has passed over and I never got to say goodbye.
Where the hell will half of Alty go to the toilet now?
-
surprised to see it go always seemed busy , maybe a bog at kfc but its not as convenient.
-
My god they boarded it up fast as well, it shut bang on 9 on saturday and by the time me and hughesy left the porterhouse at midnight the signs had been ripped down and there was nothing left... thankfully ecky i got the chance to say good bye, two cheeseburgers for breakfast on saturday! i might lose some weight now!
-
Ah, fond memories of the regular "McPiss" during the walk between the Porterhouse and The Downs.
I also had one of my birthday parties there! Did anybody else?
-
I hope Dave Cameron got out before they boarded it up..doesn't seem the fastest walker to me at times. Has he been seen since?
Never been the same since the Gas Board shut on the other corner for me...
-
A minute's silence is in order before the Gravesend game?
What's happening to the building - is it being knocked down for flats, or is it going to be used as Totties new location?
-
I hope Dave Cameron got out before they boarded it up.
I think he's sorted his act out since becoming Tory leader

Always preferred wimpey myself. Not that it was particularly convenient for having a piss, unless mum had dragged me through C & A.
The jumpers of my childhood, I must have looked like a bloody Accrington fan!

I leave Altrincham, Maccies closes down. I'll let you come to your own conclusions.

i got my uniform from mcdonalds too when it was hawkers.

I take it the Canadian Charcoal Pit is still going strong?

Indeed, on many occasion I've nipped for a "macsh*t" They actually closed at 9pm on saturday and had the place stripped,signage down and boarded up before the bloody chip fat would have gone cold!!!!, an incredible feat by the shop fitters involved as it was all done before midnight!!!!
The site is going to be a TOPMAN apparently

There was a Blockbusters there the last time I was in town.
-

Just a rumour I heard yesterday, I was hoping for somthing decent, like a pizza express. Then again why they would want to open oppposite the altrincham interchange, which is a sewer rats dream location that consistantly stinks of piss.

That's the one. i keep telling my friends that they do the finest burgers there. However, as most of them live in or around Glasgow, they are a little disappointed that it is a little bit away!
-
suppose there's always the one at the retail park, i recently developed this urge for milkshakes after our flurry (pun intended) of Tuesday night games, on the way back here, sometimes they've switched the bloody thing off ! memories of eating my mc nuggets around 10-12 yrs old there and the ronald mc donald train bus thingy upstairs, was that still there ?

Dave was safely out of McD's long before the boards went up. But given the alcoholic night we had on Sat he might have been safer staying there. Feel free to ask him how he puts out cigarettes when he smokes after several aftershoks and cheak v's!!
-
isn't there a canadian charcoal pit next to hale train station ?
-
no more, however i urge all to go and see what i can only describe as the oompa loompa from the newer charlie and the chocolate factory movie stood behind the counter. not good after narcotics i can tell you, i only wanted a praire dog!

The Prairie Dog was often my Sunday lunch when I lived near the Railway in Hale. Mmmmmm!

Bring back the Wimpy I say, complete with a Mr Whippy ice cream machine by the front door...
-
I know a very nice lass called Miss Whippy!
-
I always assocaited Wimpy with people who couldn't afford McDonalds.
Is that unfair?

No, you're quite right. It was never a problem for my mum to take me to the Wimpy, but McDonalds was strictly birthdays only. Probably the table service that swung it too...

An insult on my very upbringing! I was a respectable young chap only seen in the most upmarket of eateries!
We never ate off paper with the McScum! And we never had half of Alty trundling past us to go an offload in the bogs!
WIMPY FOREVER!
And the odd spud-u-like!
-
Beaver..you have stolen my next gag!
I was going to mention Spud U Like as a healthy alternative to Mcd's.
Maybe I was wrong about McDonalds being the upmarket Wimpy.
I once ate in at that chippy near the market. Now that was posh.

I still pine for a toasted crust in The Drop Inn on Grafton Mall.
Didn't Jenny Heslop used to work there?

A chippy where you can sit down? it'll never catch on! Damn good chippy though,Greenwood Street?
Incidentally, the guy who owned Greenwood Street chippy owned the one in Timperley called McDonalds as well. Couldnt go for a piss in there though.
