delboys love of takeaways, why no McDonalds?
We see him regularly eating currys, kebabs, fish and chips, fried chicken and chips, food from the pub and cafe. So why no McDonalds and kfc?

Probably due to the BBC's rules of avoiding brand names and product placement.
"Stop listening to music made by poofs - Stick on some Elton John".
In the episode where Raquels parents come round for dinner Albert wonders why they are taking so long to eat and Del explains how they aren't golloping down a big Mac & Chips.
I think that was the only McDonalds reference I recall.

...isn't there also an episode where Rodney asks his assistant to go and get him a big mac cause he's starving ? from " rodney come home " maybe...
shareI think Rodney only asked for his assistant to go get him the greasiest burger on offer at the precinct in that episode. McDonalds wasn't actually referenced.

...yes , spot on ! After posting my comment, I went and watched the episode. It also contains my all-time favourite scene from OFAH , where uncle albert has to looked absolutely horrified cause rodney's taking some bird out on a date ! Classic !!!
shareI find it refreshing that brand names aren't pushed in our faces on British shows,unlike American ones where you can't go an episode without some product brand being involved. I guess the tv companies get paid huge amounts to include these brands in their shows.
shareEven though Albert mixes up Bisto gravy granules and Maxwell house coffee. Also in 'The class of 62 when Rodney tells Del he has a fax he's holding a can of Pepsi and Del orders three Coca Cola's for Rodney and his mates in the club not to mention the copies of The Sun newspaper seen throughout the years. There's lots more I can't think of right now.
There's a moral to this story Del Boy but for the life of me I can't find it!
in later seasons as well, especially the 96 3 episodes, they mention The Daily Mirror quite a lot. It stands out in my mind as I remembered Daily Mirror actually ran it as a story that they get mentioned and the logo is on quite a lot of billboards in the background.
