Title: Tourism boost???
Post by: jsp51 on July 26, 2009, 11:21:19 AM
On returning to England last week, I noticed that 2 cafe/bars on the upper floor at Dalaman airport had closed. I then looked at the other side of the hall and noticed a very healthy queue of very unhealthy people at Mcdonalds. It was then I had my flash of inspiration, why not open a Mcdonalds in Uzumlu. Imagine that, all those baldy heads, football shirts, nylon shorts, tatoos, body piercings,beerbellies and unruly kids all flocking to the village to get their sweaty fat mits on their fave junk food.
Everyone would benefit, dolmus's would be full, bar owners would be coining it in, local trdesman would be over whelmed, fixing the damage done by the unruly kids, council workers would have to work loads of overtime picking up the dicscarded wrappers and cups, see everyones a winner.
I will have to start a petition when I come back in Sept and present it to the Muhtar, we could have a Mcdonalds by the end of the year, wow I'm getting excited now.
If you go down the main road to the statue then turn right, there are a couple of empty buildings there on the left that would make a good Mcdonalds.
On reflection they are about 200yds from main rd, far to far for the average Mcdonldite to walk. How about the winehouse that would make a great MMM Mcdonalds.
The quiz could still be held there with 2Mcnuggets and a spicy wing as the last prize and a triple whopper with cheese and chips as the main prize.
I am surprised no one has thought of this venture before, I will be in the market square with my petition during Sept, please come and sign it.
Look forward to seeing you all in sept,

Hi John
Weather must be bad in Dudley. Next thing you'll be suggesting that the statue of Attaturk be re-painted with the stars and stripes :D:D:D

What a brilliant idea!! surprised a well seasoned inventer of good ideas like me never thought of that before.
One problem though, i have not yet seen any tins of striped paint in Turkey.

By the way, weather is not bad in Dudley, it's bloody awfull, wall to wall rain since we got back, I don't think we have had one day without rain since returning on 13th.
Keep a bit of that sun for us in Sept we will need it to dry out.

Calvin, drive throu as well, even better there would be loads of litter to be picked up from the main road as well, this is getting exciting now.

If possible could we have a McDonalds that also sold Efes. Then as we roll out of there drunk with our burgers we could spill them onto the road like the doner kebabs in England. It would be like being home except with sun!!!

Phil, you don't get it, the idea was to get more business for everone so you stuff yourself full of burgers in the Mcdonalds, then you go to Grapes garden and swill them down with loads of efes, though I think your normal Mcdonaldite would have to have about 10 bottles of Bud, and their husbands might have the efes.
You could throw your left overs and paper in the street on the way round, and then of couse you could spew and wee in the street on the way home, just like Saturday night in UK. Brill!!

jsp51. What right do you have to categorise what type are or are not Mc Donaldites[?] I have many friends including family who would take exception to your listing. However I'm sure that they'd all agree to categorise you as a pompous, supercillious prat. Good job I replied to this sober or I might have been rude  8)

Did'nt realise I had portayed anyone in particular, just describing the large queue outside of Mcdonalds in Dalaman airport, where the vast majority were as I portrayed. I could only use this perception as I would never ever go near one of these junk food places here in the UK, but as I have passed by quickly, the sight inside did look fairly similar. If it upset anyone in particular then I would say get a life and  take this post as it was intended, a bit of fun. But if the cap fits!!
As I am just a black country chap from Dudley could you expand on "pompous supercillious prat", for me please, so I can decide whether to be offended or not.
Also I have had second thoughts on my idea as I now think Uzumlu probably has enough burglers.
Oh I do love fan mail. (I think it was fan mail)

jsp  - you must be one of the last remaining people in the world never to have had a Maccy D's.   Go on, admit you have really haven't you ?:D ;)  I mean, you can't be normal :D: :)

Post by: jsp51 on July 29, 2009, 13:28:27 PM
Pookie, if MD's sold beer I might, just might be tempted to venture in the door, but the smell coming from the place is enough to put people off.
OK I admit I have had the misfortune to try one of their carpet  burgers long time ago, but I hastily add I did not fetch it.
I can remember the taste of it, by it's lack of taste.I experimented with it and removed all the relish type crap they put on it and just tried the burger on it's own, it was like eating a cloth cap!
As for normal, If normal people drink beer then I think I might be normal as I have been known to go into a pub every now and then.

Come jsp51, don't you think you're laying it on a bit thick [?] I bet Mac's could sue you :D

Oh, I meant a bit of a SNOB  8)

a SNOB, from Dudley, now I know you are just having a laugh.
Blimey, had me going there I thought you were serious for a while.

I have to agree with jsp51, McDonalds burgers are absolute crap, a bit like eating a cross between a pile of pigeon crap and a lump of chalk  : :)

Burgerking are so much better  (http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp173/crabbit49/frog_dance.gif)

2nd best driver ever to have gotten into a car.
Ok Metin you win, no Mcdonalds in Uzumlu
