Since I moved to London, I have noticed that the image(形象、印象)of McDonald's in London isn't the same as that in China.

    In China, McDonald's is a trendy(时尚的)western food restaurant and it's quite expensive. However, in the UK, many people think McDonald's produces cheap and bad quality food.

    Once I suggested to a British friend of mine whether we could have dinner in McDonald's. He said "No. Let's eat some proper food. No junk food." Another time I asked a British friend of mine to have a drink in a McDonald's nearby. He said "Oh, no. I am wearing a suit. We had better find a decent(得体的)place." It seems for many British people, especially middle class people, going to McDonald's means losing face. They would rather go to some nicer restaurants and tip the waiters than go to McDonald's for some cheap quick food.

    Who is eating at McDonald's then? The McDonald's restaurants i11 London are always full of people. I have noticed that many people dining in McDonald's are students and people from the working class. Of course there are a lot of international visitors too.

    I don't have anything against McDonald's. That's why I still go to McDonald's from time to time and most importantly, I can use the Wi-Fi in McDonald's for free when I am travelling.
