Just checked online and Mcdonalds first drive through in the UK opened in 1986. Henry's opened in 1980 I think so it sounds reasonable.

The first KFC in this country was in friargate in Preston.

Preston also has the seconds biggest bus station in Europe behind Frankfurt

They are superior. I enjoyed the fans taking the piss out of us because of their success from the 1800's ha ha

There is also a pub in Preston that has 3 different exits/entrances on 3 different streets

It's classic brutal architecture. Filmed a film there and the film crew were all from down south. Travelled all way specially for that station.

 

First kfc was Preston opened by Ray Allen. Who then started the Allens franchise. He had the UK license for kfc.

First drive thru was arizona iirc. A mcds manager had a Windows put in the side of the building as soldiers from the local army base were not allowed to leave their jeeps etc.

Wendy's copied the idea and made it official and mcds then followed suite.

It's only literally in the last 18 months or so that I've realised Allen's is a genuine franchise and not just a knock off KFC.

Allen's is also shit.

 

I know plenty on here think KFC is awful, but by fuckery, Allen's is a whole lot worse.

Perfect 10's in Preston is amazeballs.

Weren't you (rightly) arguing the case for those fow CP Goggle Jackets as an item of posterity (due to the technology of the fabrics) not long ago?

 

There's some stuff needs saving that's just as important architecturally, even if they aren't aesthetically pleasing to us - like Swanny mentions, there's folk with an interest in it, and, as it's only the Preston nobheads that have to put up with it, not us, keep the eyesore standing I say.

And now...

 

Just watched this...

 

I seriously want to go to this place!

 

That quadruple burger looked immense!

 

Also there was a link on there to a show called 'what would you do?'

 

What's fucked up programe that looks.
