It's all very well discussing who was right so many years ago (and nobody can be right in this debate) but the fact remains that catering is now privatised and that there seems to be a "move" being made toward compulsary use of a facility that not many people are fond of (and perhaps were never fond of). And the poor news that scotland craves for Macdonalds only goes to reinforce the Battle of the Table Plate in MOD.
In the middle of all this is also a barely noticed fact that none of those poor souls who aren't using the messes seems to have starved yet.
It seems to me then that the caterer is at fault. They are not doing anything to entice their "captive customers" into their web of profit milking. So, on their current performance, they will no doubt go bust.
And then what?
