Still got one - very busy - up here. Not a fan myself but judging by the queues plently love them.

Yeah possibly, it is in a touristy shopping centre. It's also sad uni students bored of doing assignments. Apparently!

A 6" steak and cheese Subway once a month at most is not responsible for my current girth I'll have you know.

I can't see Subway going tits up. I have never been in one in 7 years that I haven't had about 6 people in front of me and the same behind me. Nice bread, reasonable fillings freshly made. Better than any of your pre packed UK sandwiches for my taste.

Six inch meat to me is quite disappointing.

When I have been to the one in Kalamunda it has always been busy. The city ones are constantly packed.

Sorry but what on earth has Subway got to do with pre packed UK sandwiches ? I've seen some extremely tenuous links on here but that is right up there.

Both fast food, both sandwiches. Just stating my preference.

Mmm, strange you would have compared them to UK pre cut sandwiches when you live here. I have never had a truly edible pre made sandwich in either country.

Honestly Chris - I'm amazed your keyboard didn't explode in horror at this gross hypocrisy.
