An “outspoken” schoolgirl has gone viral after writing a five-page letter in felt tip saying how disappointed she was that McDonald’s didn’t deliver to her area.
In her letter, which has been described as “polite but firm”, 10-year-old Georgia May Hibbert explained that she’d been looking forward to a Happy Meal from the fast food giant during her self-isolation after having to take a COVID test at school.
She was, however, upset to discover that McDonald’s didn’t actually deliver to her home in Wheelton, Chorley.
So upset in fact, that she took felt pen to paper to suggest McDonald’s reconsider.
The thoughtful youngster even explained that if McDonald’s were to meet her demands, a lot of other children would be “very happy”, and it would also help the entire company as they were losing a “lot of money” by not doing it.

Georgia made sure to stress though that while she had very strong opinions on the matter, McDonald’s still remained “top of her takeaway list”.
A section of the letter read: “I’m currently self isolating at the moment because I’ve been in contact with someone with COVID-19, so I’ve done a COVID test and for my reward I was going to get a McDonald’s for tea, but after I got all excited about it, apparently you don’t deliver to my house.

“I live about 10-15 minutes away from the nearest McDonald’s restaurant and think it’s odd and disappointing that you don’t deliver to me and many other houses nearby.
“With this in mind, who do you deliver to?”

She concluded her letter saying: “I think it would be helpful to your company and me and all the other children if you add more destinations to your delivery list.

“I may only be a 10-year-old but I can make a difference [and] my goal is to get your company to listen to me and for you to get my argument across politely.
“I do feel very strong about my opinion and I hope we can compromise.”
Georgia’s mum Mary Hibbert explained that the letter was not out of character for her daughter as she enjoys getting her opinions across, adding: “She was obviously a bit annoyed about not being able to have McDonald’s so she took herself off and started writing notes.
“I assume McDonald’s doesn’t deliver to our area because it’s a distance issue, but like she said in her letter, it’s only a 15 minute drive [and] we would usually drive out to get it ourselves, but we were having to self isolate, so we were relying on a delivery option.”
Mary said they had tried to order the food via the My McDonald’s delivery app – which uses Uber Eats and Just Eat for takeaways.
Just Eat stated that it is not the delivery partner for Georgia’s area.

After the letter was finished, Mary was going to email it to McDonald’s, but couldn’t find the correct address to send it to and decided to stick it up on Twitter instead.
“She’s always been quite outspoken – in a polite way,” Mary continued.
“She’s quite mature for her age, for a 10-year-old [and] she enjoys getting her opinion across.
“She has always enjoyed writing [and] she loves writing stories and poems too.”

Posters around Manchester city centre spark serious rumours Charli XCX is set to headline Parklife 2025
Danny Jones
Some pretty big, green posters are popping up around town and, not to get ahead of ourselves, but it looks like they’re hinting at Charli XCX headlining Parklife 2025…
Feel free to lose your bratting minds.
A number of tall, let’s call it ‘apple’ green posters have been sighted in various places across Manchester city centre this Friday, 22 November and the last time we saw this slightly low-resolution, plain black Arial font and colour combo we got a reworked version of Charli XCX’s brat album.
Listen, all we can tell you is that this is almost exactly the same marketing and the letters on the poster simply read, “PL25”. Come on… you do the math(s).
Spotting at least two of the posters for ourselves around both Newton and Thomas Street in and around the Northern Quarter, plenty of people have been double-taking at the simple but bold and undeniably eye-catching portrait posters.
Trust us, we weren’t the only ones stopping to take a picture and frantically send them to half of our phonebook either.
Charli herself hasn’t given us any other clues on social media thus far – to be fair, this one feels fairly obvious to us – but it’s well worth keeping your eyes peeled on her stories as she did plenty of teasing before dropping Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat.
Still can’t get over that actually being the title, by the way.
It’s also worth noting that Parklife themselves recently confirmed that festival fans can expect the 2025 lineup very soon. Check out that colour…
Oh, who are we kidding? That’s not apple green it’s straight-up BRAT green, b*tch. We’re fully getting carried away and you’ll just have to deal with it.
Even if it somehow turns out she’s not headlining it’s certainly looking like she’s going to be there and it wouldn’t be the first time.
Better yet, fans of the pop sensation won’t have to wait too long to see her right here in Greater Manchester because Charli is bringing her already smash-hit tour to Co-op Live next Wednesday, 27 November and in case you couldn’t tell by all the shouting in capitals, we’re very excited.
Roll on ‘PL25’. Other than Charli XCX, who else would you like to see Parklife next summer?
Carl Froch slams ‘pathetic’ John Fury after bust-up at Darren Till press conference
Danny Jones
Former fighter Carl Froch has branded boxing patriarch John Fury “pathetic” following the chaotic scenes at the recent Darren Till press conference.
‘Big’ John was at the centre of some pre-bout bedlam earlier this week after tempers flared during the presser between his son Tommy Fury and his next opponent, Darren Till.
For anyone who didn’t see it, a reaction from the Fury father following a lengthy foul-mouthed exchange sparked a massive on-stage brawl, requiring both parties to be separated and the face-off cut short.
Offering his thoughts on the incident, the ex-middleweight and multi-time champion called out the 59-year-old for what he now says is just the “usual pathetic childish behaviour from a grown man.”

Speaking to sports media and betting company, Action Network, Froch said: “Darren Till did have a lot to say and he was very vocal but at the end of the day it’s not about him, it’s about Darren Till and Tommy Fury so why is Big John Fury, the fighting man, getting involved?…
“Has he been sacked by Tyson Fury? Did Tyson tell him to f*****g do one and now he’s with Tommy Fury trying to get some of the limelight? I don’t know but same old s***. Darren Till totally wrote him off.
Froch went on to say of Fury junior – who has flirted with the idea of an exhibition match with the retired British, Super Middleweight, Commonwealth and WBC champ in the past – “For me, I don’t give it any credibility but when he mentions my name and puts my name in the mix, I’m obligated to respond.
“It’s like Jake Paul. He doesn’t like the way I give Jake Paul stick because I’m honest. He’s not a fighter or a pro boxer, he’s a YouTuber, TikTok dancer and content creator […] All of these guys like Jake Paul and ‘Big’ John Fury – when they start talking bull***t, I just tell it how it is, give my honest opinion and sit back to watch the parade go by because they all get upset.”
The 47-year-old also speculated that there is a serious possibility that older brother Tyson has dismissed his dad from his current entourage, at least during media events, noting that he isn’t helping promote fights by “headbutting children at press conferences” as we saw before the Fury vs Usyk fight.
“That kid he headbutted didn’t even look like he could have a shave”, added Froch. “He might’ve been a young man, but he picked on the smallest person there and dropped the headbutt on him. It’s not the kind of behaviour you want to see, it’s bad for boxing.
Offering his final thoughts on the ever-controversial John Fury, Froch signed off by saying: “At the end of the day, he is a guy who wants some attention. He’s a man who has never achieved anything. His son Tyson Fury is obviously very good, he’s a top fighter and we know what he’s all about.”
As for 25-year-old Tommy, he takes on fellow North West fighter Darren Till at the Co-op Live arena early next year. You can find out more HERE.
