I thank you four for chiming in. I feel better now. smile

Groobie, I guess there's a reason they abbreviated their name, even beyond their probably not wanting to tie the chain down to being identified with one state from the U.S...

My favourite fast-food-in-another-country story is this: First, let me say that I dislike fast food in general and McDonalds in particular. But when I went to Scotland once, I couldn't resist eating at a McDonald's... Fear not, though, it wasn't part of the chain. It was a McDonald's Brothers' butcher shop and I had a bridie.

Tempus isn't the only one who appreciates irony, I guess.

Joy,
