I know a family who used one of the houses for a while when their child was in hospital for chemo. Despite the hoopla about the fast-food chain, I recall when crossing Canada with our (then) eldest, that finding a place to eat was difficult. Restaurants would say stuff like `Is she coming in too.` At one place in Ontario I said, `Absolutely not. She might make noise, We intended to leave her in the trunk of the car.`

McDonalds welcomed ALL of us with open arms. I appreciated that more than most people will ever know. You`ve done a good thing bringing this to our attention. My apologies for that uncalled-for outburst, mg.
