McDonalds

Do you think that eating 3 or 4 meals a week technically makes me a health risk?

I worked at MCD for 2 years and was entitled to a meal every shift, but I would never eat it and still wouldnt. The young kids who worked there, had a meal on every shift as they were probably living in digs and it saved them money, which I can understand, but Im sure their health must have suffered. I wouldnt eat it if you paid me !!

True...lets forget that one....How about do you want to look like MR T

I wouldn't have thought so Bobjugs, if you eat healthily for the rest of the meals and moderately exercise you'll be reet.

I feel that I should clarify a few things on this thread.

I started it last night as an attempt to take some of the attention away from our 'guests' and their increasingly insane ramblings lol.
However, I don't just eat McD's and nothing else, but when you've got nowhere to store a packed lunch, and you only get half an hour in the middle of a 12 hour shift to find a food outlet, park up, order and eat (as well as use the bog, have a smoke, phone the missus, sort your life out, and whatever else you do in your lunch break); then fast food does become incrediably tempting.

I do have a fairly physical job, and I am gonna buy a bike soon and start cylcling into work as well as finding myself a Sunday League team to start playing for (although I've not done any real phys for months now), so the exercise thing is not something I'm worried about.

Anyway, peace out y'all

Insane ramblings? lol
Go round picking them all up mate.

i don't think there is any "technically" about it - it is a health risk. Can't you pick up your sandwiches from home if you have 1/2 an hour or is home not in your patch?

[bobjugs12]

Home is nowhere near my patch unfortunately

[ummmm]

How come you haven't got room to store a pack up?

[bobjugs12]

I've got room ummmm, but it means either in the back with the sick people, or in the warm and toasty cab where it goes minging.

[ummmm]

In the cab in a cool bag...

[bobjugs12]

Now thats too sensible ummmm, anyway a pack lunch never fills you up like a hot dinner does

[ummmm]

Depends what you have. I make lush pack ups and if you use a cool bag you have more room.

[bednobs]

what about at the ambulance station? Surely that's on your patch??

[bobjugs12]

I don't work out of a station bednobs, we are assigned standby points throughout the county and operate from them, we are moved every 2 hours or after a job. Have you ever seen an ambulance parked up in a layby or supermarket carpark, they are on standby as well.
I see the station usually at the beginning of the shift when I pick my truck up, and the end of the shift when i drop it off, the only other times we go back are to restock the vehicle after a big job, or if the truck breaks lol

[bednobs]

but what i'm saying is if the station is in your patch, leave your lunch there. Instead of driving to mcd's to get your lunch, drive to the station to pick it up
