It's not exactly news, but I read this today. So it's news to me and it's today.

The Bronx is the size of Paris, has 42 McDonalds.....and one bookshop.

Hmmm, maybe we need a 'little known facts' thread.

Paris pop. 2.10 million
Bronx pop. 1.44 million

Paris 36.2 McDs/million

Less surprisingly, London has 181 but with a pop. figure of 8.86 million that's only 20 McDs/million.

[MrLongbeard]

LOL, there's only 6 in the whole county I live in, although we only number 603,000 souls.
1 McDonald's per 100,000, that's gonna be one heck of a breakfast rush, I'd best make sure I'm early doors tomorrow
