What's the deal? My town has suddenly been swarmed with them. Earlier today I was walking back from town with sylv and within a 30 minute walk counted at least eight of the buggers. They're literally everywhere.

Anyone else noticed this plague or is my town just ground-zero of the chicken empire?

Aside from anything else, I cannot fathom how each shop is managing to make a profit considering the amount of competition. I mean, how often does an average person eat the stuff?
 
There's some *thing* about fast food places needing a certain licence from the council. Once one place gets that licence multiple similar places will open very close. It's one of those stupid laws that means cities often get massive crowds of fast food joints close together. Hopefully someone with a little more knowledge will know what I'm on about. Something to do with the smell perhaps, I really can't remember.
 
Living in Seven Sisters (yo) there were 9 fried chicken shops on the high street, 5 hairdressers, 4 random food markets and a couple estate agents.

Competition is great though, 5 spicy wings, chips and a can of coke for £1.99? Barjen :p
 
Morleys is best out of all of them. End of.

Chicken Cottage is the worst. Or maybe Dallas Fried Chicken. I can't decide :/
 
I never trust fried chicken from takeaways. In my experience it's either loaded with salt and MSG (KFC) or it's dry and tough :(

I do like fried chicken though.
 
Quite a few around here, Maryland Chicken is the best. £3.50 for a chicken burger, 3 wings, 3 strips and a box of chips. So tasty, although I've never had it sober so it could be terrible...

There's always been millions of them in Southend, especially Westcliff.

And if you can't work out how they turn a profit... come on... go to Westcliff (Valkryie Road area specifically) and look around you. There are hundreds and hundreds of reasons why they turn a profit walking around
 
We have 'Dixie Fried Chicken' around here and the morons have 'Old Glory' on the wall rather than the 'Battle Flag'. :p
