WORKERS at a McDonald’s fast
food restaurant in the UK are
probably still cleaning up after a
potentially major hygiene crisis.
The problem arose when a
woman riding a horse was turned
away when she attempted to
order some takeaway via the
drive-through kiosk.
The lady then led the animal
inside the eatery, where it “ended
up doing his business on the
floor,” according to a BBC report.
Police were called, with a
McDonald’s spokeswoman
confirming that the woman was
issued with a penalty notice for
causing “alarm and distress”.
“The health and safety of our
customers and staff is our top
priority, and for this reason we
are unable to serve pedestrians,
bicycle riders or customers on
horseback via the drive-through,”
she added.
However the horseriding woman
says she was surprised to get
the fine, adding that she had
previously taken her horse for a
McFlurry “loads of times”.
sales of earplugs are set to
plummet in Nepal, after a major
crackdown on honking drivers in
the city of Kathmandu.
Traffic police have declared a
war on “high-decibel honking,”
and have this week fined many
drivers and seized more than
1000 digital vehicle horns which
had been specially modified to
become even louder.
Cars with the loud hooters
“have caused accidents, as
pedestrians, distracted by the
cacophony of blaring horns, bump
into each other and the passing
traffic,” said a spokesperson for
the Kathmandu Metropolitan
Traffic Police.
Some vehicle manufacturers,
including luxury marque Audi,
have confirmed that they fit
vehicles supplied in both Nepal
and India with special horns
because drivers there tend to
honk much more than Audi
owners in Europe.
