OK, that aside, there was some company news, McDonald's released same store sales that fell short of expectations. But, the headline kind of says it all: McDonald's Delivers 100th Consecutive Month of Positive Global Comparable Sales - August up 3.5%. That I guess is no mean feat. Personally I am a big fan of the model, what you see is what you get, the menu is customized for each region (which begs the question, when do we see a biltong and cheese burger here) and is good value for money. Really good value for money. Perhaps one less Sunday had something to do with it, and one extra Wednesday, when comparing to last year August!!
