cook.”<br />
McDonald’s spokesman<br />
Simon Kenny said most of the 85<br />

said it was nice to see regular<br />
customers returning.<br />
By noon yesterday, they had<br />
processed around 100 orders on<br />
their app, which was developed<br />
for the first lockdown last year.<br />
“It’s quite a good response,”<br />

said.<br />
