Never had a Nandos either.  My expectation is that I never will.

I've once been in a KFC with friends but didn't order anything. I probably should make the effort at some point if I want to criticise rather than simply sneering - but it's never yet appealed enough ...

Nandos, though, is actually quite decent. We've been a few times - partly because my wife gets a discount as NHS staff - and having overcome my initial snobbery, I quite like it.

Is it mean of me that I get a gentle feeling of satisfaction from this?

I like Nandos.  Their veggie burgers are particularly good. 

KFC, however... well, I tried it once.  In Clacton.  Our archery club bought a barfin' bucket.

Never again.  And not just because I'm now veggie.
Getting there...

Should cyclists equip themselves with Bonio Chews?  Or wot?
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

They had to have a consultation on whether to buy that shovel, and then there was a legal challenge...

I shall add it to Trago Mills, Mebyon Kernow and living in Plymouth but rushing a pregnant wife to Liskeard so your baby won't be born "foreign", as reasons to laugh at the Cornish.

When I'm in Cornwall for a week shortly I'll test as many 'cream teas' as possible to see which way prevails.
