Free WiFi at Golden Arches in UK

It's about time. There's little more infuriating than spending £7 ($14!) for a Filet-o-Fish meal and then having to pay another £5 to BT just to spend a few minutes catching up on my email. Wait, there was the so-called "free demonstration" of WiFi at London Bridge Station that required you to set up a BT account before you could use it!

I'd rather spend the $15 on Starbuck's coffee and a muffin and take as long as I like on the Internet. Better yet, I can now go to the little sandwich shop next door to McD's and poach their WiFi! But I'll remember where it came from when I want a burger and fries.

Hmm, interesting. I usually frequent smaller, locally-owned establishments and, at least for my food, I'll certainly keep doing so but as far as coffee goes, it's an interesting idea. I typically avoid Starbucks because I've come to really dislike the idea of paying $15 for a cup of coffee and a muffin.
