McDonald's Fines Customers Who Take Too Long to Eat
Eat up, shop fast and move along.
That's the message some stores and fast-food establishments, including McDonald's, is giving its customers in England.
At 40 McDonald's there, drive-thru customers are given 45 minutes to finish their meal and leave the parking lot before a $225 ticket is issued, The Guardian reported.
The restrictions were put in place because people were abusing parking privileges at the establishments, a spokeswoman for McDonald's told The Guardian.

Your House Is 'Too red'
A family in Oxfordshire is facing the possibility of their newly-built home being demolished. One of the reasons, said Cherwell District Council, was that the color of the bricks used was "too red" and should have been "more orange".
This would allow the home to blend in with others in Merton Road, Banbury which is a special conservation area. "We felt that the property is not sympathetic to the conservation area," a council spokesman said.
