McDonald’s is marketing euro bonds, taking advantage of borrowing costs that have fallen to the lowest in a year because of the ECB’s expanding its stimulus programme.

McDonald’s has claimed that fast-food rival Supermac’s has failed to submit any convincing arguments that the two brands would not cause confusion amongst the public in the EU.

Supermac’s boss, Pat McDonagh has sought extra time in his battle with McDonald’s over using the Supermac’s name across the EU.

A Florida woman has been summonsed for calling the emergency services three times after McDonald's staff told her they were out of Chicken McNuggets.
