After the announcement of the Coca Cola sponsored renovations of Bridport Town Hall fast food giant McDonalds has stepped in to sponsor lighting the famous Colmers Hill in Symondsbury.
Concerns have been raised over the grazing beef cattle in the area beginning to show signs of paranoia, and the villagers of Symondsbury are now up in arms over light pollution. One villager says:
“It’s like an arctic summer down here. There is no night and the birds are starting to act strange.”
A spokesman from McDonalds confirms that “McDonalds is proud to sponsor the icon that symbolises Bridport and it’s beautiful surrounding areas. We are currently in plans for a chain of McPubs and a McBrewery, which seems to have met with a resounding positive response in the area.”
Lord
I for one welcome McDonalds. Easily affordable and almost nutritious food is a must for rural areas. I live within striking distance of Colmer’s Hill and have saved £££s on electricity by basking in the glow of the golden arches. If Burger King could be encouraged to set up a similar erection at Thornicombe Beacon (no idea how to spell this, sorry) then this would encourage healthy competition, create thousands of jobs and mean I could read in bed without wearing out my own light bulbs. Now THAT’s what I call eco friendly.
