    KFC, the company are not happy.

    Newspapers originally suggested that is was a real KFC.

    Epic, they could do that here with a defence that the signage was downloaded off a torrent and is therefore perfectly legal.

    Just change the name slightly. I went to a "McRonalds" in Islamabad once.

    Is there a link to the story in the first post? I ended up on some bizarre page in Persian.

    That was the website of the Fake branch. Why wouldn't it be in Farsi? That's what they speak in Iran.

    But: Original story here - the well-researched Daily Mail article.

    I heard about it on BBC radio 4.

    Anything but admit to reading the hatemail, eh?
    When God made the arse, he didn't say, 'Hey, it's just your basic hinge, let's knock off early.' He said, 'Behold ye angels, I have created the arse. Throughout the ages to come, men and women shall grab hold of these, and shout my name.

    No, I found that link for Ninety (I know he reads it). As I said, I heard it on Radio 4. (You and Yours).

    Cheers, duck.

    We don't get Radio 4 in Glarus, you see, so it's nice to know what's going on without faffing about all over the internets.
