Having a debate with a friend earlier. I stated that I will not buy food from a high street takeaway unless it clearly has a green hygiene rating label in the front window, with at least 4 out of 5 on it. Very usually this means only visiting big chains like McD or Burger King, but personally I've seen enough horror stories (with pictures) in the newspapers of places that have been shut down to put me off an unknown takeaway for life. Plus, even if it's hygienic, the cheapo burgers and kebabs are probably made from "boneless pork rectums" or something similar....
Apparently, holding the above view makes me extremely fussy in the eyes of said friend, who would probably happily eat a tramp's sock if you offered it to him whilst staggering back from a club.
Am I being unreasonable here?

Thing is, I bet a lot of the indys do get a 4/5.. but why dont they proudly display it somewhere prominent? Not doing so makes me think they have something to hide, and so walk on past
