Here at the House Of Goulding it has not gone un-noticed that McDonald's (Australia) is now regularly advertising 24-hour service, which means that they either care a lot for their customers (beatiful downtown Wollongong supports few, if any, 24-hour industries) or that business is going through the roof.
And with Yahoo! News reporting yesterday that McDonald's U.S. profits rose
80%
in 2008 (see: Nov 24, my video blog) as the recession bites deeper, it's certain that people will be flocking towards their favorite junk food outlets for cheap, filling, comfort food.Yes, we're looking at an exciting finish to the decade in the race to see which nation will be the fattest on earth. Presently, we Aussies are proudly porkin' it towards gold (see: Australia: Fattest Nation In The World) but them yankees may be pushin' us hard in 2009.
Mind you, as CNN reports, with Britain's pubs closing at a record rate, the Brits seem to be drinking more at home, so alcohol consumption will probably rise there.

While I do indeed consume a vast amount of alcohol at home, I keep myself in trim shape by taking regular constitutionals, indulging in some light recreation and taking the time to frequently beat my man-servant. Soon burns up the calories, you know.
Lord Likely, fat aside, you will, no doubt, soon be contacted by the UK government to lead the country out of this economic quagmire.
Would it be presumptuous of me to guess that, as a first step, you shall have Parliament pass a bill supporting enforced public fornication with good looking wenches?
I'd like to volunteer as campaign manager. Please.
I'm trying to sell the rights to SKY TV.
