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.

We are still proud and we still believe. ⚽️ 🏴🦄
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.

Three tiny ‘chaos potatoes’ have been born at Chester Zoo and they’re so cute

Three tiny ‘chaos potatoes’ have been born at Chester Zoo… and they’re really flipping cute.
Born to parents Maris and Albert in late summer, the three rock hyrax pups – only affectionately known as ‘chaos potatoes’ – have just passed their first vet check with a clean bill of health, and now weigh roughly 350g.
Hyraxes are found across sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, where they live among rocky landscapes and are most active in daylight.
The litter includes two boys and one girl, and keepers at Chester Zoo have decided to give them potato-themed names – Russ, Spud, and Jackie.

Currently, the three pups are a fraction of the size of the adults, which can weigh up to 4kg, but despite their small stature, they have an unlikely relative.
Believe it or not, rock hyraxes are actually a part of the same evolutionary group as elephants, as well as sirenians, which are the family of aquatic mammals that includes dugongs and manatees.
“Hyraxes are one of those species that you have to look for, but once you’ve seen them, they are fascinating to watch,” explained Megan Carpenter, who is a Keeper at Chester Zoo.
“The pups are little chaos potatoes. They are much more energetic than their parents and sometimes get the zoomies, darting about and testing their climbing and parkour skills.
“In contrast, the adults often wedge themselves into corners and grip on to steep rock faces for hours at a time. They’re incredibly well adapted to living among rocks and are much better climbers than you might expect.”
