Ok benefit of the doubt to those with the god awful analogies... perhaps you have mis-understood and haven't gone full retard.

I'll simplify.

I have multiple options of what to do at lunch time, if my two options that I'm considering are morissons for example or maccies... I made my decision based on the facts available.

So in this instance I decided (my choice remember) to go to maccies because I wanted to eat my food with my mates back at the office, it's a 3 minute trip with 2 minutes of ordering food at the automated teller and then just chucking it in the top box and heading back.

No need to remove gloves or helmet or anything - jump off, get food, jump on. Easy. That was my choice of activity.

Eating it in there - or going to the pub - or wind surfing - or going to the dentist - yes I'd obviously remove my helmet Rolling Eyes

Even making my other choice - going to morrisons - I'd lock the helmet to the bike and then I've got both hands free inside.

This gist of it is - my choice to go to maccies was specifically because I didn't need to remove any gear. If there was any reason to think I'd have to take it off then I wouldn't have made that choice. Thumbs Up

Next time I think I'll take the advice and just go through the drive through and ask them to bring it outside to me.

It just seemed odd that's all.

And the whole manners / cap argument only works if they also ask all the chavs in there to remove their Burberry caps etc. (which they don't)

If they need to ask, you don't have basic manners.

If the 'chavs' keep their caps on and you keep you helmet on.. does that mean you're a chav too...

Helmet fuckery aside (and I consider is good manners to take mine off inside an establishment), the best thing McDonalds has going for it is the loos are always clean. A bit cramped, but clean. This is far preferable to the roulette of stopping at a roadside pub/carvery type place which might have palatable coffee but the loos might be a shit-smeared piss-flooded nightmare. Of course in cramped loos with nowhere to put a lid it goes back on the head.

Ok, so who is the first to test wrapping your helmet in a Dastaar?

And as an aside, my new helmet is tight and back to the double D, I feel your pain.

Hmm so I'm not the only one that looks like cone head with a helmet on top. Always do it when I stop; gloves in the helmet and helmet on the head. Best doing it that way than getting loads of germs in your helmet. Does give some weird looks though when you come out to wash your hands.

^ This. Always take mine off before entering someone's premises. Hell, even if I'm going into work and my hands are full I apologise to the receptionist if I've still got my helmet on. Some of us was brung up proper.

I wonder if banks complain about security guards not taking off their helmets. Thinking

In short if you have the helmet or anything else, by law or for your health then wear it where ever you bloody well like.

probably for protection of the staff.

You get all kinds of trash and subhuman scum in mcdonalds... loud and rude single mums, violent niggers, sexually deviant arabs, chavs.. the list doesn't end.

How does asking the robber to remove his helmet once he's reached the staff help to protect them?

He's either a wrong 'un with a penchant for patiently queuing and it achieves nothing, or he's an honest 'un and all they've achieved is to provoke an unnecessary conflict.

Again: the only rational response is to immediately hit the alarm and dive for cover as soon as anyone with a helmet enters the premises.

Since nobody does that, the claim that it's about security or protection is farcical.

This here is the entire point. Thumbs Up

If it's for security - then the request needs to be clear and signed at entrance to make sure no helmet wearers enter unless robbing the place (In which case helmets are allowed obviously).

As I said before - making someone that was going to rob you remove their helmet - simply gives them a weapon!
