No photos south of the border? Plenty drive through’s opened yesterday ..more due today
Arundel Crossbush McDonalds was definitely open again today, based on the traffic on my commute...
I just don't understand the need (or even desire) to go on the first day to anything reopening at the moment (be it Ikea, a garden centre, or a McDonalds). It'll still be there in 3-4 days. Are you THAT desperate?!

Just driven past the Burgess Hill McDonald’s and the queue doesn’t look bad!

Some people queuing in their cars at 8.30am today, for 11.00am McDonalds reopening at Brighton Marina and Shoreham A259. Buses rerouted a little to avoid the resulting traffic jams.

I’m not averse to junk food, but fck that for a game of soldiers.

Customers were just interviewed on BBC1 SE News. Seemed to be mum’s and young kids who’d desperately missed McDonalds grub, and similarly builders.

It's not for me, but each to their own and fair play to every single one of them for making the considerable effort!

some think there will be mass reassessment of society after covid, the desire to queue for a MaccyD tells me otherwise.

Only just noticed that they opened today...its sometimes a pain that way anyway because of the inordinate length of time the level crossing barriers stay closed for trains.....I might try it Friday ..i quite miss my flat white and chicken mayo...plus ive got to know the day shift reasonably well....but i wont even try this weekend ...and tbh have got into the habit of taking a flask to work now

To each their own of course, but hopefully a few of those flocking to the likes of KFC and MaccyDs will soon be heading to small, local, independent restaurants too..
I get that people might like it, but literally wait a day or two and then you’d probably won’t have the insane queues?

Bit like the garden centres...queues first week....earlier this week I just went straight in..got what I wanted and back out in five minutes

It’ll be interesting to see if this is the case. Garden centres have lost a lot of their lure for silver surfers due to their closed indoor cafes, there are only so many begonias they can buy.
Whist the western world’s love affair with junk food and especially McDonalds is something unparalleled.

Do you bother with garden centre plants? I usually don’t, they don’t provide the specific species I’m after. Instead bloomy hybrids that catch the eye.

How soon is now?
I work around the corner from the Shoreham McDonald’s. On my lunchtime walk, traffic was queuing back round the lights to Frost’s at 2pm. The crossing gate was up, so one could only presume the whole queue could be waiting for a crap burger, eaten in the car. Really

So far I have managed to convince the younger Pottings to wait a couple of days before rushing off to the local McD's for a fix.
I do find the KFC/McD shaming a bit ott - we all got excited when the town's "proper" chippy reopened but, being a sensible place only for phones orders, and they have a thoroughly organised social distancing process in place.
