That’s great news Dario, and please don’t be too worried, you will be under no obligation to consume any of their products. I on the other hand will be one of the first in the queue. Now all we need is a McDonald’s and kfc for a full set. 🍔🍔🍟🍟🍗🍗

I don't live in HO anymore but would have avoided it in the 1st place if I'd seen Fast Food Chains..... their absence were what drew us to the town in the 1st place; because it didn't look like a sunny version of Birmingham, London or a shopping Joint or Motorway Services.

A voice of reason - I felt a little alone in the wilderness there.  Like you, having the nearest one-stop diabetes-shop some 45 minutes away in Lorca was one of the things I really liked about the area.

Those that are absolutely craving a Burger “king” instant blood-sugar boost-burger or Endocrine-pressure patty won’t take the warnings of addiction seriously - but the consumables (I can’t call them foods) are engineered through combination of salt-sugar-fat to create addiction … listen...
