I have unfortunately. Sometimes it's a choice between the KFC and MacDonalds because my b/f's hungry. I've decided I hate KFC more than MacDonalds because it just feels dangerous in there 
, although I've only ever been in the KFC twice. I would point out that I didn't actually eat.

There has been a McDonalds in Brixton all the time I've lived here.
I did get something in there once about 15 years ago. It took ages. I think it might have been a filet of fish.
The toilet cubicle door only came down to my knees, which were hard up against it. What's that about?

Actually, I'm sure I remember it being a furniture store.
I'm pretty sure as well that either Robill's (or it might have been Iceland which prior to being Iceland was Murray's Meat Market) was a cheap furniture store.

I remember wanting to get out my pushchair to stand in a wardrobe, and I'm pretty sure it was there.

McDonald's are great. They serve as excellent public toilets now that public toilets don't exist anymore. And there always seems to be one near by where ever you are. So... McDonalds kick arse.
Yes, but it was there where?
Did I dream there were three or was there one each side of the road? Or was there NOT one at MacDonald's at all and only on the tube side?
You what? Are you talking about Robills? I think that might have been a bit before my time, but if McDonalds was WAS a furniture shop I'm pretty sure it was a second hand furniture shop.
I also remember my mum refusing to sign a petition to open a McDonalds (FAIL) so presumably there was once a time when there was no McDonalds in Brixton at all.
The KFC used to be on Brixton Road near the police station, is that where you're getting confused (dear)?
Why did you want to hide from your mother?
I just wanted to stand in a wardrobe man, I was a free thinker. Stop trying to box me in.

I thought that when I was in Thailand. Figured McD's must be the one place that had Western loos but it was a filthy squat

Yes yes, I know MacDonald's wasn't always a MacDonalds, but I can't remember what it was.
Anyway, there was a furniture shop (not secondhand) either where Robills was or where Murray's Meat Market (Iceland) was. I bought my wardrobe and chest of drawers there when I moved to Brixton in 1985

Off topic I know... but what the fuck is it with those squat things. Those things are just so fucked up. *Expects liberal culture vultures to go mental any minute*

I've been the McDonalds in Brixton many times. The service is pretty poor even by McDonalds standards and I once walked out after standing being ignored by the staff for 15 mins. They didn't seem to understand that because I was at the front of the queue they were supposed to serve me next.
It's never been food, and in Brixton it's definitely not fast.

The brixton one is part of a council scheme to allow public use of businesses toilets, to prevent street-pissing. I don't think the street pissers know about it though, judging by our pavement

sit-up bogs give you piles apparently.I just find McDonalds repeat on me and no matter what you order, its always burger that doesn't taste like what its supposed to, lettuce, tomato, onion, sauce and the sweetest bread you've ever tasted. If they were to change the bread to something half decent like brown for example, they'd save so much in calories/sat fat, it just seems a no brainer.
Having said all that, if there was a Burger King, now you're talking - angus anyone?
Does anyone remember the curry place that preceeded speedy noodle? When I first moved to Brixton, it was a life saver after a heavy night.

Ohhh I get you.
Jackets was roughly where Vodafone or Carphone Warehouse or whatever is btw. Next to it (where Footlocker is now) was a crappy clothes shop. Just in case you were wondering. What did Superdrug used to be?

The second hand furniture shop is where Brook is now, near the back of the Academy and I bought loads of stuff there. MacDonalds was a furniture shop too, where I bought your big sister's bunk bed from, Pip. Remember that? Your little brother's bunk bed came from Atlantic Road.

I was collecting twee framed pictures, for the frames you understand, but they closed before i'd finished so I guess I'll never get my Book of Illuminations framed and hung.
YA LIIIIIEEEE why wasn't I informed? Bring back C&A!

After it was C & A it became a sort of pre-Matalan with remaindered stuff from department stores, then it was Superdrug. I'm pretty sure anyway. My memory isn't what it once was.
