Village blocks McDonald's
A German village has won a fight to stop McDonald's opening on its outskirts because it doesn't sell sausages and sauerkraut.
The mayor of the village of Geschendorf in Schleswig-Holstein, Fritz Kock, 66, said: "There are 508 people here and we all agree we do not want foreign trends here.
"We are quite happy with the local restaurant where we can get sausages and schnitzel, and all nine local councillors supported the decision.
"We have had calls from all over the country praising us for making a stand against McDonald's."
