There must be more be more brain dead idiots in this country than I thought. Just goes to prove the mentality of the cretins who regularly frequent these fast food joints.

Well if any did call the Police, they've been told.

[Butterbun]

Can't believe people really called the police. What do they think the Police could do about the situation.

Someone once said that it was 'hard to underestimate the intelligence and capacity of some people' (or words to that effect). Can't remember the originator, sorry. As you say, unbelievable paucity of coping ability.

People dial 999 if their TV remote doesn't work - there's no accounting for folk.

So all people who patronise KFC are cretins ?
Rather insulting , dont you think ?

Nice to see the the boys in blue , first in the queue for their daily sustanance

//For those who contacted the Police about KFC being out of chicken ... please STOP. Their website says the Prestwich store is now open if you want to follow the four police cars through the drive thru ..//

Gawd help them if McDonalds ran out of burgers.................

[Islay]

I would imagine this is a small number compared to those that frequent KFC - but hey feel free to call them all cretins!! -

[ToraToraTora]

these people have the vote!

Our local KFC is "closed for refurbishment"....
Hmm, makes me wonder if there is more to this than meets the eye.
Maybe just the God of Gastronomers taking his revenge :-)

Reminds me of the time I came out of a Pogues concert with friends in the centre of Birmingham. As KFC appeared to be the only outlet open, we joined the queue. No doubt influenced by the number of glasses of something I'd had, I asked the chap at the counter if they sold chicken, and was told, apparently in earnest, that he'd have to ask ...

Baz: "So all people who patronise KFC are cretins ?

[Bazile]

I agree TTT
But dave50 didn't make that distinction

[ToraToraTora]

well the article was about people calling the police because KFC was out of chicken but I see what you mean.

How could anyone think you should ring the Met about a chicken shortage? What do they think the Flying Squad is for?

[jourdain2]

:) Garaman. My quote was regarding the few who were ringing the police, by the way.

[Jahulaye]

“How could anyone think you should ring the Met about a chicken shortage? What do they think the Flying Squad is for?”

Or the “frying squad” in this case.

Im Guessing the KFC addicts have had to go cold turkey.!

I must have missed that bit of the Link.

[Mamyalynne]

Baldric, I think that was in reference to this tongue in cheek Tweet.
