McDonald’s has teased that it is giving away free food to mourning football fans following England’s devastating defeat to Italy in the Euro 2020 final.
Loss in elite level sport will always be tough to take – but Maccies has a plan to ease the pain.
It was a triumphant run to the final by a team that captured the hearts of the nation and brought people together after what has been a tough 15 months, but millions right across the UK have woken up today to the reality that Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions squad couldn’t quite clinch the win to bring home England’s first international victory since 1966.
After a 1-1 draw, the game subsequently ran through extra time to be taken down to penalties – with the Italians taking a 3-2 victory at Wembley.
To make things a little easier, whether you’re hungover or just hungry, the ever-popular fast food chain has taken to Twitter this morning to let Brits know they can bag a code for up to £10 off McDelivery orders placed through the My McDonald’s app.

If you fancy trying to get yourself on of the all-import codes, all you’ll need to reply to the McDonald’s UK social media team on Twitter.
Those who get a reply will then be given a code in their direct messages on Twitter, which can be applied at the checkout and £10 will then automatically be knocked off the bill.

There’s no limit on how many codes will be dished out but it’s probably worth getting in sooner rather than later to avoid missing out.
The codes can be used throughout the day, so you can get £10 off for breakfast, lunch or tea, but they can only be used once, and if your order is more than £10, then you’ll have to fork out for the difference.
Delivery charges still apply.

Home Bargains has announced a special two-day closure of all UK stores
Emily Sergeant
Home Bargains has, once again, announced it’ll be closing all its UK stores on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year.
And it’s to make sure staff get a ‘well deserved break’.
After what has been yet another busy year for the retail industry, many workers have been left feeling like they could do with a little extra time off, which is why Home Bargains is following on with what has become a now-annual tradition by shutting up shop on two bank holidays.
All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day & New Years Day.
Announcing the move in a post on social media, the discount retailer confirmed: “All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day and New Years Day. We would like to thank all our colleagues for how hard you have worked this past year, and want you to relax and enjoy the Christmas break with your loved ones.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the retailer has kept its doors shut on bank holidays.
Many shoppers will recall it has made the same decision to give hardworking staff a break every year since 2019.
Explaining a little more about the decision taken to close all its stores, Home Bargains said: “As a family-run business, we know the importance of being together at Christmas with those we care about most, now more than ever.
“This is our way of saying thank you to our colleagues for their continued hard work and dedication.”

Two Greggs in Manchester will be serving their breakfast menu in the evening next week

Who says breakfast has to end at 11am?
In news that’s set to be music to the ears of breakfast lovers in Manchester, Greggs is giving them exactly what they want.
We all know that brunch is a ‘thing’ by now, so now it’s time for brinner to make a name for itself instead, as Greggs has teamed up with Heinz to bring its much-loved breakfast menu back for tea time, kicking off from 4pm onwards.
The move comes as a new survey has found that the majority of Mancs (69%) admit to enjoying eating breakfast food in the evening, saying it’s ‘convenient and comforting’ – even ranking breakfast as a ‘more important’ meal than tea, as well (38% vs 36%).

Greggs says it has ‘lost count’ of the amount of customers that have tried to order breakfast items after the usual cut-off time, especially in Greater Manchester.
But luckily for those breakfast-loving Mancs, they can finally get their favourite breakfast and sauce pairing long after the morning rush is over next… but only at two Greggs branches, and only for a very limited time.
On Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October, the Heinz x Greggs Brinner collab will be available at Greggs St Mary’s Gate and Greggs Oxford Road, from 4-7pm only.
“We’ve lost count of the number of customers who have tried their luck ordering breakfast after 11am, so when Heinz came to us with the idea of making Brinner a reality, it felt like the perfect excuse to give the people what they want,” explained Zoe Harris, who is the Customer Director at Greggs.
“And let’s be honest, a Greggs Bacon Roll just wouldn’t be the same without a squeeze of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.”
