Lately I have read several travel blogs knocking McDonalds and suggesting that you should eat “real food”

As someone who once thought going to a Wimpy Bar was cool I don’t know if I’m qualified to judge but I think McDonalds is OK. Years ago before I did much travelling and as they usurped Wimpy I thought their burgers were rubbish (really they still are) but I have come to recognise McDonalds charms.

• They are in  nearly every country.
• The toilets are clean(ish)  remember where you are!
• The food may be slightly different from home but it is recognisable as food. After a few weeks of mysterious slimy objects on your plate  or an overload of curry for breakfast it begins to taste delicious.
• Its cheap – everywhere. In the places it seems pricey nearly  everything else costs more!
• Free Wi-fi – a big bonus in places where it is expensive or difficult to get online.
• Coffee – they have coffee as you know it, not Turkish or Malaysian  or any other variety of disgusting just coffee!
