I hope that every British person pronounces it with a hard T.  That would be hilarious.

And how long have you been gone? We had a CFA in my mall when I was 20 as I routinely ate breakfast there before work at the Cookie Co and that would have been very early 90's.

I left in 85.

Seriously, if this headline was "Popeye's opens a branch in Reading" I would be driving there now.  And I wouldn't care if the whole staff were members of ISIS, as long as it tasted like the Popeye's I remember.

Ha ha ha! I totally see that happening!

That was short-lived.

I don't know when their six months is up, but if you're in the area, get your chicken quick.  It looks like Chick Fil A will not be a UK institution.

Chickfila giveth and the Oracle takethaway.

If it helps, I always meet my gay BFF at Chick-fil-a.  It's our place.

Seems funny to me, why would they be willing to stay open?  What about equipment and people?  I guess the Oracle is going to comp the 6 months of rent?

One just opened in the Highlands (oddly, because we never get anything and it's quiet).....

I imagine it won't last long

I've never eaten at one ,but I don't really ever have fast food, so I have no intention on doing so.

Maybe they are going to take all the equipment from the Oracle and put it on a truck to Scotland. 

No offence to people living in Scotland, but why open in the middle of nowhere?  Why open at a resort call MacDonald's?   My head hurts.

What a very odd place to put a CFA. This placement makes zero sense to me.
