Jolene scorches both but it's small. "I'm begging of you please don't take my trade" |

We've seen similar protests to this. It's happened with McDonald's and Tesco. Nothing wrong with opposing big chains. Walthamstow has much to offer people. As does Leyton which surprised me. We found a top Mexican restaurant. Homes on Donkeys, in central Leytonstone. if you are in the seat, visit the Walthamstow Wetlands nature reserve. Massive reservoirs you can walk around. There are too many chains, honestly. We have a Wendy's in London. Just an American chain muscling in. What's next - Popeyes, Arbie's, Home Depot? |

Most American food chains aren't even owned by Americans. The largest operator of "American fast-food" restaurants in Europe is the suspiciously-named American Restaurants, who are actually from Madrid. Several of the McDonalds in Bavaria even belong to the Princess of Hessen. |

My former stepdad shopped at Costco. |

My former stepdad shopped at Costco. Costco is brilliant. You couldn't shop them regularly but it really is very good. The French are completely obsessed with McDonald's. Very curious. I believe it is their most profitable market after the States. |

Waltham Forest also has a Costco. It's up near Chingford actually. I see many Walthamstow homes advertised. It's going up in the world. |

Wendy's has been here for decades, I remember the first ones appearing when I was a very young man. Perhaps they've been absent a while in between though

On that note, the chicken nugget was invented in Luxembourg. |

7/11 outlets were here on a very similar timeframe. I remember there being one in Muswell Hill.

If you want pancakses in London My Old Dutch has managed to survive since 1958! All i can say is Flippin' 'Eck.
