Do they publish historical records giving the average number of cows eaten per customer since it opened I wonder?
No. That would be weird.
Why? I bet they have figures for average burger consumption per customer over time, or should have to better understand market demand.
1. Because cows are not universal in size. 2. They won't know how many customers they have served (they may have details of transactions, but that doesn't correlate with consumption per capita). 3. Even if they did, why would they publish it?
Estimates put it at 60-70k cows per day.
So what is the average number of cows eaten per McDonald's customer since 1974?

I've herd it could be 200, but that maybe a load of bull.

I worked in a small office above shops in Powis Street at the time .I was just 21 with 4 other girls around the same age for company ..I was quite often " charmed" into going on the Macdonalds run on a Friday. The place was teeming with people more like a busy airport but always extremely clean.

At the time someone at McDonalds was quoted as saying they considered Woolwich "a typical English town". It was actually already starting to decline from arguably it's heyday in the 50s and 60s as a bustling shopping hub with 3 departments stores, thriving market and high street shops and thousands employed in the Royal Arsenal and up the road at Siemens
Used to go there as a kid as my grandad worked for the building contractor fitting out their stores, and he later went on to work as Bob Rhea's house manager. Woolwich was our local. We had a free pass to eat any time. As it was signed by the McDonald's chain owner Bob Rhea. As a youngster I occasionally went to his house in Chester Square. Whenever we ate in the store they were always really nice and friendly. When we moved to Sheffield in 76 I asked if Bob would let us have one in Sheffield and sure enough he send some guys up north to have a look and fire long we got one.
I don’t mind a maccys when in the mood, their breakfast menu is the best bit.
If I fancy a fast food burger it’s Wimpy for me. Mr Ahmet has owned the one up Bexleyheath for donkeys, and he hasn’t aged a day, so prefer to support his business. Plus you can’t beat a bit of Wimpy special sauce.
I used to go to a very weird unofficial youth club thing in Dartford (turns out it was nonce central but that’s another story). And we went on a special trip in 1977 to the Woolwich McDonalds. All got in a minibus for our taste of America. I was beyond excited.
I hate the place now but it’s a necessary evil at times.

I remember the kids wanting McDonald's back in the day (mid 90s) when I insisted it would have to be a Wimpy.
Why they'd cry? Because you get a knife and a fork and a plate and the meal is warm. No greasy fingers and no greasy horrible litter forming a mountain on the table. I like a bit of decorum ... I mean ... you couldn't even get a Rum Baba in McDonald's could ya?

Do Wimpey still do a Brown Derby?
No I believe it was stopped when operation Yew Tree started….
Since I have given up meat one of the few things I periodically crave is a Big Mac. I like the McPlant Burger, but it's not quite the same, (and I prefer the BurgerKing Plant Based Whopper). In the US they stopped the Veggie burger saying the demand wasn't there.

I remember in the '80s a rumour going around our polytechnic in Stafford that McDonald's had links with the IRA and that McDonald's were trying to breed cows without legs.

Dunn & Co were further up, pretty much next to The Shakespeare :-P
