The Biscoff McFlurry and Chicken Big Mac are both returning to the McDonald’s menu across the UK in a couple of weeks time.
Easter has been and gone now, and so it’s sadly time to wave goodbye to the legendary Creme Egg McFlurry for another year – but thankfully, when we have to part ways with one ice cream dessert, McDonald’s usually comes through with another to replace it and fill the McFlurry-shaped hole in fast food fans’ hearts.
And what better way to fill that hole than with the long-awaited return of the now equally-legendary Biscoff McFlurry?
After being released to serious fanfare for the first time in the UK last June, and undeniably going down a treat, with countless Maccies customers having been calling for its return ever since, the fast food chain has now announced that the Biscoff McFlurry will be making a long-awaited comeback later this month.
It’s return is alongside a handful of other returning favourites and even some exciting newbies too.

Returning for a limited time, and setting you back just £1.99 for the full size or £1.59 for the mini, the Biscoff McFlurry features a Lotus Biscoff biscuit crumb swirled onto the soft serve ice cream to give it that extra crunchy taste.
Another popular product making an eagerly-awaited return is the beloved Chicken Big Mac, while some other returning gems include the Galaxy Caramel Pie, and the Galaxy McFlurry to accompany it.

When it comes to new menu additions, customers can tuck into the new Quarter Pounder Deluxe for £4.89, which is a take on the classic Quarter Pounder and features a 100% beef patty served with mustard, ketchup, onion, lettuce, mayonnaise, juicy tomato, pickles, and two cheese slices inside a toasted sesame seed-topped bun.

A Maccies meal isn’t complete without a cheesy side, and new to the lineup this time are the Cheese and Herb Melts – which are five cheese and herb melts made with a blend of mozzarella and Emmental cheese, tossed in a herb coating and served with a rich tomato dip.
But, by far the most exciting newbie has to be the Biscoff Frappe.

Joining the limited-edition lineup to complement the Biscoff McFlurry in the best way possible, the Biscoff Frappe has a vanilla-flavour base, and is blended with ice and Biscoff biscuit crumb, before being topped with caramel cream and a Biscoff biscuit crumb dusting.
The McDonald’s limited-edition Spring menu is launching at restaurants nationwide, including across Greater Manchester, from Wednesday 17 April onwards.

Manchester has been named one of the most ‘stressful’ places to drive in the UK
Emily Sergeant
The UK’s most challenging driving locations have been revealed, according to new data… and isn’t good news for Manchester.
No matter whether you’re a new driver or have years of experience behind the wheel, some roads can test even the most confident of motorists.
From congestion and poor road conditions, to limited parking and higher incident rates, it’s fair to say that some areas make driving more stressful.
But which parts of the UK are the hardest to drive in?
Well, in a bid to answer that question, MoneySuperMarket has analysed a whole host of data – such as road infrastructure, road safety, road conditions, vehicle crime concerns, and insurance-related trends – for 58 UK cities, boroughs, and local authorities to create a drivability score and discover the locations that drivers find most stressful.

Manchester, unfortunately, claimed third place on the list of top 10 most challenging locations for drivers – with an overall drivability score of 25 out of 100.
Other northern cities and towns like Leeds, Preston, Blackpool, Bradford, Wakefield, and Oldham have founded themselves in the top 10 too, meaning the North West is sadly the most-represented area.

The findings also reflect some of the concerns drivers experience on the road, with more than a third of motorists (34%) saying they have avoided driving because they were travelling in an unfamiliar area, while almost a third (32%) have chosen not to drive due to heavy traffic or congestion.
Dealing with impatient or aggressive drivers was the most commonly cited source of stress, with almost two-thirds of motorists (65%) saying they find situations such as tailgating and beeping stressful.
“Driving is part of everyday life for millions of people, but our research shows just how much stress and uncertainty it can bring,” commented Alicia Hempsted, who is a Car Insurance Expert at MoneySuperMarket.
“Particularly in areas where there are more incidents recorded, car-related thefts are more common, or where there is heavier traffic or less familiar roads.”
