My theory on chicken n chip shops and terrorism in London
There are parts of London where there is a chicken and chip shop every few yards. Usually in less affluent areas which is a double wammy for some people who already eat unhealthy. I've seen shops just 2 doors away from each other selling the same crap food which usually consists of fried chicken, fries, burgers, pizza slices and the most disgusting ribs known to man. The ribs are lamb ribs dipped in a very sweet sauce (that they call bbq) and then fried. It's not surprising to find up to 7 shops within 5 blocks, which begs the question, how do they make money?
My theory is it's money laundering for terrorism as well as general money laundering from illegal transactions.
Hey and the kicker? They owners all have an American twist, usually with names like Dixie Fried Chicken, HFC  , Texas Fried Chicken, Dallas fried chicken and my favorite, Ohio fried chicken
What say you?

Im curious how these places compare to a Popeyes or KFC.
Are u being serious about the possible terrorist connection or you taking the mick?
Its kinda sad alot of the world is picking up Americas bad eating habits.
By the way if you are ever in Croydon pop by Chickenburger and ask for my mate mark..
He ll give you half off.

Oh gosh where do I begin? You can't compare Popeye’s or KFC with the crap they pass off as fried chicken in these shops and I'm weary on how and where they source their chicken and convinced it's of the lowest standard and in most cases prepared and served by people who barely speak English and I'm sure don't follow proper hygiene procedures.
Why I think there is a money laundering connection? The amount of these shops in such close proximity. Can they really make enough to make a healthy profit? I doubt it.

Their "chicken" probably started off that morning either meowing or barking.

I don't know why, but the more I think about it the more probable it seems and I'm being serious. It's just impossible to make enough money to keep all those shops going.
There again there may be black helicopters flying above
