Classy Old Kensington McDonald's

Forget the Henry VIII suite at the Excalibur Hotel, I think I've just seen the classiest thing of all time. McDonalds, Kensington High Street has a player piano.

It's actually a £15,000 Roland Grand piano, left alone to play crappy midi files, pianola-style, in order to lend an air of sophistication in twinkling room full of teenagers and council sweepers slurping up sugar and fat.

Having witnessed this, I know it's going to be difficult to sleep tonight as I mentally wrestle with this concept.

[drifts off thinking] ...There are people in the world who can't afford to eat, there's a £15,000 piano in High Street Ken McDonalds. [dribbles a little into pillow] There are people in the world who can't afford to eat, and yet there's a £15,000 piano in High Street Ken McDonalds. [deep snoring] There are people in the world who can't afford to eat, there's a £15,000 piano in High Street Ken McDonalds... (turn over)
