the end of the world

February 19, 2018 12:27pm CST
It's an apocalyptic catastrophe, one which signals the end of humanity. The chickens have finally decided that enough is enough. They're fighting back. They will be vindicated. And in the meantime, some parts of the UK aren't getting their chicken fix. Thousands of bread rolls patiently wait for chicken which will never arrive. Lettuce and sliced tomato is left to fester and go limp. Mayonnaise cries tears of sadness. The salsa and the wrap snuggle up, lamenting the loss of their beloved chicken. Ah, well. The world will keep turning, I'm sure.

I quite like KFC, but we only indulge once or twice a year.

@amadeo No. It's one of those fastfoods that you desperately want, eat, then wonder why you desperately wanted it in the first place! Nothing to write home about!

So where are the chickens? I am getting worried now after reading this post of yours, imagining all those sad bread rolls, the wasteful lettuce & tomato etc...

I think they got to their destination eventually; the rolls are sad no more!

How long can this world survive without chicken? Some will be forced to eat vegetables!

I have read about the chicken shortage in the UK. It seems that the problem is due to something KFC did, but I have not investigated.

@Poppylicious You are so right, you get what you pay for. Too expensive is never worth the money you spend, too cheap is never good.

They found a cheaper distribution centre and delivery firm. But, you get what you pay for, eh??

I think it was just KFC chicken that was affected - perhaps that is just as well, judging by the one remaining outlet up in this part of the world...

It was just KFC. All my local branches were affected. There has been sobbing and wailing in the streets.

reminds me of the Big Train Comedy sketch in which chickens take sides in the English Civil War
Deleted scene from series 1
