MAN RECEIVES BAN FOR DUI ON A SCOOTER

A man who wanted an early-morning snack after a night of drinking has been banned from driving.

Liam Smith, 20, was spotted on his step-mum’s three-wheel e-scooter with a woman on the back at 4am on January 14th. He was then seen staggering into a branch of McDonald’s in Malvern, Worcestershire, by police officers called out to another incident.

They breathalysed him and he was found to be three times over the drink-driving limit. Smith’s pursuit for a McMuffin has left him with a two-year driving ban and fines totalling £412.

MCDONALD’S TOLD TO REMOVE ‘TASTELESS’ SIGN

Fast food giant McDonald’s has removed a sign advertising one of its burgers after it was branded ‘tasteless’ due to its position opposite a crematorium.

The advertisement is for a chicken breast fillet in a crispy, crunchy coating. So when you advertise anything ‘crispy’ near an establishment responsible for putting deceased people into a huge furness, it’s hard not to make the connection.

Unfortunately, this connection wasn’t considered when the advert for the McCrispy appeared on a bus stop directly opposite Penmount Crematorium in Cornwall, as the sign is literally positioned behind another pointing to the crematorium, resulting in it being described as ‘tasteless’.
