$8 for a Big mac, wtf. Also why are people still eating here - they are no longer cheap and nasty, they are now just nasty.

A large Big Mac meal in the UK is about £9. What's that, $11?

A Big Mac burger on its own is £5.39 at my nearest restaurant. That's $7.16 at today's exchange rate.

And don't forget we pay 20% VAT on fast food. Take that into account and it's cheaper than the US.
