A series of IT issues started in the early hours and continued throughout the morning, affecting customers in the UK and around the world.

POEM FOR McDONALD'S

Ketchup is red
Burgers are brown
I ordered McDonald's
But their system is down

Mustard is yellow
Pickles are green
Where's Ronald McDonald?
Nowhere to be seen

Milkshakes are pink
And cola is black
I wonder how long
Before Big Macs are back?#McDonalds pic.twitter.com/pLJeCJIPt6

And one of the unexpected consequences was this woman going viral again (you remember …)

Has anyone checked on her? #McDonalds pic.twitter.com/DAOxHguvvl

Talking of which, it was Burger King which surely had the very best response.
