The McDonald's in the Olympic Park won't be getting bulldozed at all MSN - it's a reuseable temporary building that is designed to be dismantled after the event.

May be the largerst but are they the best?, the reason you cant get into the smaller ones is because they are popular for a reason, quality and value for money, the larger ones are empty for a reason

Went to one of these new breeds of huge restaurants a while ago, there were so many people in there the noise level of just conversation was deafening! Think I'll stick to the smaller places where I can hear my companion talk. Will definatley also be sticking to places that are actually restaurants not McYukkies.
