A man who sued McDonald’s for compensation for his fractured arm — suffered on a night when he consumed six pints of cider and was involved in a separate incident in which he got a bloody nose — lost his case yesterday.

McDonald’s claimed a premises where a man is suing for a slip on a wet floor was inspected every 15 minutes and it was put to the plaintiff the six pints he had earlier in the night might have had something to do with the fall.
