Umina or Woy Woy?

A correspondent has written that a McDonalds should be opened at good ole Daleys Point.

Sigh!

If only.

No, seriously, it gave us all a good chuckle but only emphasises the lack of intelligent arguments put up by the fortunately small anti-McDonalds lobby.

Further to the reasoning put forward by a member of the Chamber of Commerce for Umina who recently pointed out how certain businesses "anchor" people to a shopping centre, I started shopping in Umina because of Aldi, particularly when they had something special on sale.

I walked across the road to Woolworths if Aldi could not supply everything I needed and then often round the corner to a very good greengrocer.

I also discovered some nice coffee shops in West St which we frequent, but unfortunately only one public dunny which you can't miss as one can smell it a block away.

Currently there is no McDonalds or KFC which can offer poor ole pensioners like us a cheap meal so if I want to shop around lunchtime, where do I go?
