Young mother Nicky Holloway was 'was horrified when she found a cigarette inside a McDonald’s Happy Meal she bought for her son':
http://www.metro.co.u...l-came-with-cigarette
True - any mother would be rightly disturbed at finding a cigarette at the bottom of a 'Happy Meal'...but this raises some other questions:
Why is she feeding her one-year old baby McDonalds in the first place?
Does this story suggest that the Government's message on health and nutrition is falling on deaf ears?
Do people really think that a McDonald's apple pie contributed one of your 'five-a-day'?
And finally, what did the mother do to make her boy pull that upset face in the photo???

"But the deal was rejected by Ms Holloway, who also turned down an offer by trading standards officers to investigate the incident. She wants ‘more to be done about it’ and plans to sue McDonald’s."
Aye, no doubt at the tax payers expense! Her kid doesn't even look like he has any teeth ~ What does he do suck the burgers into submission?
Bluddy Chavs!!!

Well sp you are normally the one whinning on about sweeping generalisations. Just because they went into a burger joint on this occasion, it does not mean that the kid lives entirely on the stuff. It is common practice for parents to take their kids to some sort of fast food place as an occasional treat doesn't make them all evil child abusers does it? Personally I'm annoyed that something as disgusting as smoking is allowed anywhere near a food outlet of any description.
The Cigarette not good but how did it get there, the bags are flat packed opened and filled in front of you.
If she thinks that she will get thousands from suing shes wrong, 1) no damage has been done 2) She has been offered "compensation"
Not a lover of "maccyd's" myself but this smacks of extortion

It's not a sweeping generalisation. She took her baby to McDonalds and fed it a McDonalds Happy Meal.
McDonalds food is not appropriate for a baby.
AOG - what kind of compensation do you think would be appropriate on this occasion?
She's been offered a free meal, an investigation by Trading Standards, but she feels she should sue.
How much should she get for her upset and injury?

this sounds like she has cooked this up herself, planting the it in there...you can see into the kitchens and no-one smokes behind there, however the fact that a member of staff laughed and almost admitted that it was probably their ciggy makes me wonder.
she rather foolishly beleives she will get a huge amount of money from this - haha - this is what a lot of idiots think, slightest thing and kerching!!
if she does get compo it will more likely be in the region of a few hundred not thousands...maybe even just macdonalds vouchers or something
the fact that she refused all attempts to rectify this - the ones that dont involve her getting loads of money anyway - speaks volumes...surely if this were true the aim would be to stop someone else 'suffering' this?
the child woudl not have been harmed had he bitten into the cigarette - which shows he was not in any real danger, so compo will be low
the chavvy horror member of staff should be sacked
